        MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error);
    WriteStatus("ERROR: '" + encryptedFilename +
                "' is NOT ENCRYPTED.\n");
    return false;

ePackage.Close()
WriteStatus("   Done - Package encryption complete.")

WriteStatus("Verifying package encryption.")

    WriteStatus("   Confirmed - '" & encryptedFilename & "' is encrypted.")

    MessageBox.Show("ERROR: '" & encryptedFilename & "' is NOT ENCRYPTED.", "Encryption Error", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error)
    WriteStatus("ERROR: '" & encryptedFilename & "' is NOT ENCRYPTED." & vbLf)
    Return False
End If

Remarks

After the UseLicense for the specified user has been saved, it can be retrieved through the LoadUseLicense method and from the collection returned by GetEmbeddedUseLicenses.

A Package can store the UseLicense rights information for multiple content users. Each ContentUser can have at most one UseLicense. If SaveUseLicense is called to store a new UseLicense for a ContentUser that already has a UseLicense, the previous license will be overwritten with the new license.
