Individualization

  • Article

Individualization is the process of updating the PlayReady runtime on the client device, allowing licenses to be bound to the client device.

When a device is individualized, the PlayReady runtime is tied to the device and will not be able to decode licenses on or from any other device (outside of its domain). Individualization must be performed on a client device before most DRM-related operations will be allowed.

Note

If you are programming a Web app using HTML5 and Internet Explorer 11, individualization is carried out by the PlayReady Content Decryption Module. Your Web app does not need to be programmed to handle individualization.
