Use licences
Digital rights management (DRM) protected content comes with an associated licence
that defines your rights to use the content.
If your device has OMA DRM-protected content, to back up both the licence and the
content, use the backup feature of Nokia PC Suite.
Other transfer methods may not transfer the licence which need to be restored with the
content for you to be able to continue the use of OMA DRM-protected content after the
device memory is formatted. You may also need to restore the licence in case the files
on your device get corrupted.
If your device has WMDRM-protected content, both the licence and the content will be
lost if the device memory is formatted. You may also lose the licence and the content if
the files on your device get corrupted. Losing the licence or the content may limit your
ability to use the same content on your device again. For more information, contact
your service provider.
Some licence may be connected to a specific SIM card, and the protected content can be
accessed only if the SIM card is inserted in the device.
