MF_E_LICENSE_OUTOFDATE
MF_E_LICENSE_OUTOFDATE identifies an expired or otherwise out-of-date license in the protected-content path. The media bytes can be completely valid and the decoder can be installed; the failure occurs while evaluating rights for protected use.
Trace renewal rather than media parsing
- Record the asset identifier, the first rights-acquisition event, and the exact HRESULT before any UI-level translation.
- If a content enabler is provided, use its documented automatic or non-silent enable workflow rather than reopening the source in a loop.
- Compare a newly licensed protected asset with the failing asset to separate platform trust problems from license age.
Media Foundation performs rights acquisition asynchronously through IMFContentProtectionManager and IMFContentEnabler. Completion is reported back to the PMP Media Session. An expired license is therefore different from a missing content-protection manager or an output policy failure. Keep license renewal, PE trust, and output enforcement as separate diagnostic stages.
