MF_E_DRM_MIGRATION_NOT_SUPPORTED
MF_E_DRM_MIGRATION_NOT_SUPPORTED reports a capability boundary in a DRM migration workflow: the protected content cannot use the migration operation being requested. It should not be treated as evidence that the media payload is corrupt or that a decoder is missing.
Identify the DRM generation and the rights model before retrying
- Record the content-protection system, content identifier, license origin, and the migration operation that produced the HRESULT.
- Determine whether the asset belongs to a legacy Windows Media DRM workflow or a newer PlayReady path; their license and service models are not interchangeable.
- Preserve the original rights-acquisition result. If the provider supports reacquisition, renewal, domain, or another supported transfer model, use that documented workflow instead of repeatedly invoking migration.
Legacy Windows Media DRM documentation explicitly describes license recovery/migration as a specific service capability and also describes content whose licenses are machine-bound. This HRESULT is therefore different from a generic migration transport failure: the content is not supported by that migration mechanism. Copying DRM stores or rewriting the media file does not create transferable rights.
