NS_E_DRM_LICENSE_SECLOW

License security requirement is higher than the client

NS_E_DRM_LICENSE_SECLOW (0xC00D27E0) means the license selected for the protected content requires a DRM security level that the current player or DRM component does not provide. The license may otherwise be present and unexpired.

Evidence to preserve

Identify the content KID/license ID and the exact license chosen for the requested action.
Record the required security level and the installed DRM/player component version.
Keep output-protection and revocation state separate from this check; a later policy failure is a different boundary.

Corrective direction

Use a supported player/runtime capable of the security level required by that license, or obtain a license whose policy matches the client. Do not change the clock, delete the license store, or weaken output protection as an initial test: those changes do not raise the client's DRM security level and can hide the original condition.
