MF_E_LICENSE_RESTORE_NEEDS_INDIVIDUALIZATION

MF_E_LICENSE_RESTORE_NEEDS_INDIVIDUALIZATION identifies a prerequisite of the DRM restore path. The restore data has reached the rights system, but the machine/client state has not completed the individualization required for that restore operation.

Do not confuse the prerequisite with an expired license

  • Record that the operation is license restore and whether the machine has recently been reinstalled, migrated, or reset.
  • Preserve any content-enabler or platform event that directs the application to a supported enable/renewal action.
  • After the prerequisite completes, recreate the protected session and retry the restore workflow from its documented entry point.

This code differs from MF_E_LICENSE_OUTOFDATE, which concerns license validity, and from MF_E_LICENSE_RESTORE_NO_RIGHTS, which is an authorization result. Repeatedly submitting the same restore request cannot complete individualization. The application should surface the required platform/provider action and avoid modifying machine-bound DRM stores by hand.
