Hello,
im really lost on the concept of DRM license delivery, and I could use some help.
I'm trying to stream my content after encrypting it and adding my content key strategy to it ( I'm only using the widevine default template and without token restriction ) finally adding my streaming strategy which is MultiDRM, I set my content key and I can finally use my generated Streaming URLs.
After trying to use my generated link ( DASH ) in a DRM testing player ( Bitmovin ) , and the weird thing is that, it plays directly without adding any license server FOR WIDEVINE or anything , when I try to add a license server ( for example the test License acquisition URL for widevine ( https://widevine-proxy.appspot.com/proxy )) it doesn't work.
is there something going on?
does azure media service has its own way to deliver licenses without needing to add a third-party license service?
please help me , I'm new to all of this, thank you.

    Hello,
    Yes, Azure Media Services has its own license service. This is the default mode. See the "license delivery service" block in the diagram on https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/media-services/latest/content-protection-overview. The license URL is exposed in the manifest.

    If you want to use another license server, follow the steps on https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/media-services/latest/content-protection-overview#custom-key-and-license-acquisition-url
