Windows Media Player - Media Usage Rights Acquisition - Once or Always
I subscribed to an instructional poker website that has videos. If I download them, Windows Media Player brings up Media Usage Rights Acquisition which asks me for my username and password for the website. I type those in, and it says License Issued and allows me to play the video.
I'm worried by this. If I subscribe to a magazine, I can keep the magazines and read them later. I'm worried that's not going to work this way in this situation.
QUESTION 1 - If I stop the subscription in the future, can I still play videos that I already played? Or, does it check if the license is still active each time it's played -- so in the future, it could say that my subscription isn't valid, and disallow me from playing the videos?
QUESTION 2 - If I back up the license files through License Management, and in the future I purchase a new computer or reformat this existing one, can I always restore the license files -- even if at that point in the future my subscription is no longer active? I figure there must be some sort of catch here, or else everyone could circumvent the license management by distributing the license backup file.
