MF_E_LICENSE_RESTORE_NO_RIGHTS
MF_E_LICENSE_RESTORE_NO_RIGHTS is specific to a license-restore operation. It means the restore workflow reached DRM rights evaluation but the client does not have the right to restore the licenses. This is not the same question as whether a media asset can currently be played.
Keep restore authorization separate from playback authorization
- Record that the failing operation is restore and preserve the identity of the license backup set or provider workflow.
- Do not infer restore permission from successful playback of another protected file.
- Check whether the content provider expects a renewal or reacquisition path instead of restoring licenses on this machine.
Media Foundation protected playback uses content enablers for actions required before content can be used. A restore denial should therefore be surfaced as a rights-management result, not translated into a source or codec error. Repeatedly rebuilding the media topology will not grant restore rights. When recovery is supported, follow the provider's acquisition process and preserve the original DRM HRESULT for support diagnostics.
