WMRMKeys.GenerateSeed

WMRMKeys.GenerateSeed

The GenerateSeed method creates a random license key seed.

Syntax

  String
  
  =
  
  WMRMKeys
  .GenerateSeed()

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, it returns a String containing the license key seed. If it fails, it returns a number in the error object.

Remarks

It is strongly recommended that you use this method to create license key seeds. The license key seed is a shared secret between the content packager and Windows Media License Service, and is a string of 40 random alpha-numeric characters. Because you can supply a seed that is different from the license key seed created by using this method, the GenerateSeed method is provided only for your convenience.

Important   Be careful with your license key seed. If you lose it, it cannot be recovered by Microsoft.
