End-User License (Windows)

End-User License

An end-user license (EUL) identifies the rights and conditions to consume protected content. A rights account certificate and a machine certificate must exist before your application can request and end-user license. The license can contain the following elements:

The issuance date and time.
A type identifier.
The name and ID of the issuer.
The principal ID, public key, digest and security processor.
The Active Directory Federated Service (ADFS) principals.
A WORK object that identifies the item of content and the associated rights.
Additional policies that apply to content use.
A signature created by using the private key of the AD RMS activation service.
A certificate chain that contains one or more server licensor certificates and one or more CA certificates.

The following diagram shows the basic XrML structure of the license. For a more complete example, see End User License XML Example.
