I don't think that there is, but hey, at least you won't feel any guilt now should you illegally download any of his work. He's ripped you off, you can now rip him off. biggrin

It's probably coated plastic (like Emancipation), so don't bother.

If the DRM license was "lost" after upgrading to the newest Windows Media Player, there is a bug fix on Microsoft's site.

It fixed mine, so my NPGMC files will play.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

This is as close as I can get you, as I don't have a direct link:

http://www.microsoft.com/...fault.aspx

When I changed to WMP v.11, the DRM became void as far as my PC could tell. But when you try to click on a NPGMC download and it gives you the "License Not Found" error, you should also be lead through some links to Microsofts bug fix.

If not, try the FAQs and discussion sections until you find the correct download. I wish that I saved the direct link for you folks, but it does in-fact, exist.

NPGMC DRMs are backup/archivable. You should not have lost the DRMs forever unless you replaced your HD, or clean-slated your HD and/or operating system.

OK. I found the link to correct NPGMC/Third Party DRM losses when upgrading to Windows Media Player v11.

http://support.microsoft....9589/en-us

Click on the above link and then on the link under "Resolution".

This will not fix your NPGMC DRMs if you have changed your OS or storage hardware.
