    "Silent" licenses no longer silent?

    Windows Media Player now always pop up a "License Acquired" window even when the license is silent. Is this a new Media Player default setting or a Service Pack 2 thing or what?

    I'm sorry, did I accidentally start a thread about something industry related?

          Trule a wise observation. Does anyone have anything substantial to add?

                It just means the user doesn't have to do anything when the license is issued.

                  I don't see that option anywhere. The closest I see is "automatically acquire licenses" which I have checked.

                        Pretty much what I was afraid of. That really sucks ass. I've been looking for DRM service providers lately and I've noticed that stupid popup showing up on supposedly silent licenses. That's wonderful; now it'll be 50 times harder to spread the files around.
