Good morning everyone,
I have a question concerning widevine license renewal,
I have a music app in which I wish to grant people permission to download music and be able to play it back in offline mode and grant them license renewals.
My question is when it comes to license renewals, how can I stop certain users from being able to renew their licenses ( based on their subscription time to my app).
Maby I'm a bit confused about the license renewals, what should I do?

    Azure Media Services will allow you to encrypt the content using Widevine supported encryption formats (CENC), and deliver the content as HLS and DASH.
    You can also configure the content key policy to deliver a specific Widevine license template to the customer. In that policy, you can set the policy for how long they can have the content, renewal and the renewal URL.

    See details here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/latest/widevine-license-template-overview

    For specific details on how to use Widevine license templates and the renewal URL process, I would direct you to the Google Widevine documentation.
