About licenses and protected files

Some media files have associated licenses that protect them from being unlawfully distributed or shared.
If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your phone, use the Windows Media Player on your PC to

synchronize the file to your phone. This will ensure that the license is copied along with the protected file. For

more information about synchronizing files to your phone and other mobile devices, see the Windows Media

Player Help.

Note You can view the protection status for a file by checking its file properties (Menu > Properties).
