Installing the Active Directory Rights Management Services SDK

You can use the Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) SDK to build lockbox-enabled applications that publish and consume protected content. You can also use the SDK to build applications that do not require a lockbox. For more information, see Determining Whether to Use a Lockbox.
