You can build and distribute consumer electronic devices that incorporate Windows Media codecs and Windows Media DRM 10. These Windows Media-based Final Products might include portable media players and network devices such as digital media receivers, cellular telephones, and in-car media devices.

Licensing Windows Media DRM 10 for Products Based on Windows CE 5.0 or Windows CE 6.0

You can add Windows Media DRM 10 to a product based on Windows CE 5.0 or Windows CE 6.0 so that it can acquire content and licenses directly from the Internet. To do this, submit the DRM Amendment to your Windows CE 5.0 or Windows CE 6.0 License Agreement. This amendment is available only to those who have already licensed Windows CE 5.0 or Windows CE 6.0. To obtain this amendment, contact the distributor from whom you licensed Windows CE, or contact your Microsoft account representative if you licensed Windows CE directly through Microsoft.
