No activation key?

[slawmilcz]

Could anybody tell me why I can't play the "In My Heart.dcf" file?
When I select it, I get communicate "No activation key available for In My Heart.dcf. Download the activation key? When I accept, the "rights-issuer.com" web page opens ... and I don't know what to do then.

[slawmilcz]

Anyone could give any advice?

Do music files have something like activation keys?

Not sure, my DCF file played fine but deleted it now as hate moby songs ;(

[slawmilcz]

Maybe the reason is that I restored this file from one of my backups after upgrading to the newest firmware and maybe I have got the version of this file from previous firmware. No idea
I can read in the file properties that it is dated 2006-09-11.

I observed that I can't play any *.dcf file due to the same reason - "no activation key".
Any help?

[slawmilcz]

Nobody can help me, why I'm always geting a communicate "Invalid activation key", when I want to play *.dcf file?

[slawmilcz]

No advice from anybody?

I can send you the mp3 if you want the song so bad

I see that it's more general problem.
It looks like I have got a file with this song on my phone,
but it doesn't want to run. Moreover, I can't play any other songs in this format.
In menu Tools->Activation keys I can see this file in the "Invalid keys" section.
Can you tell me what is the state of this file when you select the file properties?

I deleted mine after to listening to it for 10 secs. But saying that it did play for me no problem. I dont know what file type a .dcf if but surely most music you going to put on there is going to be mp3,wav,midi. Have you tried to play any of the other dcf files on your phone, i know there are a few in the ringtones section.

It seems that the file is part of the firmware (I had deleted it but when I updated to v12 it came back!) but for whatever reason, the DRM license key is not!
The problem is that you lose the key and need to re-install it but I, like you, have no idea where from.

I haven't tried that hard cos I don't like the song so sorry I can't be of help.

I have v12 and this song still plays fine on my phone so dont think its anything to do with firmware version, I havent had my n95 very long I wonder if somhow there is a time limit on it?

[fiddles]

just checked mine file details are
status-Activation key is valid
Activation(play)-Unlimited
content sending-not allowed
date-28.03.2007

so therefore if play is unlimted i doubt that it has time limit, sorry cant help any further

[slawmilcz]

mine file details are:
status-Key is not valid
Activation(play)-??? (no such position in my properties)
content sending-allowed
date-11.09.2006 => pretty old !!!

Can you send me your newest file?

Unfortunately the problem applies to all *.dcf files.
It looks like I don't have license to play any files in this format.

I suspect that something from my current version of firmware was overwritten when I restored phone content from the backup file that was made in the previous firmware.
