Syntax

WMRMHeader.AddUplink(uplinkKid)

Parameters

uplinkKid

[in] String containing a key ID of the root license element in the license chain.

Return Values

This method does not return a value.

Example Code

Dim KeyObj                   ' WMRMKeys object
Dim RootKID                  ' Key ID of the root license
Dim LeafKID                  ' Key ID of the leaf license
Dim LKSeed                   ' License key seed
Dim ContentKey               ' Key of the leaf license

'Generate root and leaf key IDs.
Set KeyObj = Server.CreateObject("WMRMObjs.WMRMKeys")

RootKID = KeyObj.GenerateKeyID()
LeafKID = KeyObj.GenerateKeyID()

' Generate the content key for the leaf license. 
KeyObj.Seed = LKSeed
KeyObj.KeyID = LeafKID
ContentKey = KeyObj.GenerateKey()

' Set values into the content header and sign it.
Set HeaderObj = Server.CreateObject("WMRMObjs.WMRMHeader")
HeaderObj.KeyID = LeafKID
HeaderObj.LicenseAcqURL = LicURL

' Add the root key ID to the license to indicate a chain.
HeaderObj.AddUplink(RootKid)

' Continue protecting the content.
