Windows Media Player Security Upgrade What is the Windows Media Player Security Upgrade? Windows Computers: Firsttime users of OverDrive Media Console will be prompted to complete a one-time security upgrade for Windows Media Player. Follow the prompts to complete the upgrade. v.10012011 OverDrive, Inc. 2011 Page 23
Windows Media Player Security Upgrade I tried to complete the Windows Media Player Security Upgrade and nothing happened. A pop-up blocker may be blocking the 'License Acquisition' box. Temporarily disable the pop-up blocker to allow the box to display. Ensure that Windows Media Player is permitted to access the Internet through any firewalls or Internet security software. If the above steps do not help, open Internet Explorer and go to http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite/en/indivit.asp. Select 'Upgrade' to run the upgrade. v.10012011 OverDrive, Inc. 2011 Page 24
DRM error messages (OMC) Why have I received an error when using OverDrive Media Console? Example: 'Error 0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect' Corruption in one of the Windows Media Player DRM (Digital Rights Management) components could cause this error. Ask the user to complete the Windows Media Player Security Upgrade again. If the Security Upgrade fails, forward the issue to OverDrive's Support Team. We will send instructions to reset the DRM folder. v.10012011 OverDrive, Inc. 2011 Page 25
.ODM files Instead of the audiobook I expected, I downloaded a file with the extension 'ODM'. Where is the audiobook? The download of an ODM file is part of the download process for audiobooks, music, and video. However, the ODM file should automatically prompt OverDrive Media Console to open. Confirm the user has installed OverDrive Media Console. If OverDrive Media Console is already installed, then the user may need to adjust their computer's file associations. See Appendix Items 3A 3C. v.10012011 OverDrive, Inc. 2011 Page 26
Adobe Activation I was prompted to activate my computer and / or device. What should I do? Authorize the computer or device with an Adobe ID. If you do not have an Adobe ID: 1. Create one on Adobe.com. 2. Return to the software and authorize the computer or device with the new ID. Authorizing with an Adobe ID allows a user to download to their computer(s) or mobile device(s) and transfer to ebook reader(s) when registered with the same Adobe ID. v.10012011 OverDrive, Inc. 2011 Page 27
Adobe license error I got an error when I downloaded my ebook. Error: 'E_LIC_ALREADY_FULFILLED_BY_ANOTHER_USER' The user did not properly authorize all computers or devices with one Adobe ID.

.ACSM files Instead of the ebook I expected, I downloaded a file with the extension 'ACSM'. Where is the ebook? The download of an ACSM file is part of the download process for ebooks. However, the file should automatically prompt Adobe Digital Editions or OverDrive Media Console to open. Confirm the user has installed the appropriate software for their computer or device. If the software is already installed: 1. On an Android device, select the ACSM file to open OverDrive Media Console and complete the download. 2. On a computer, adjust the computer's file associations. See Appendix Items 4A 4C. v.10012011 OverDrive, Inc. 2011 Page 29
Download limits / reactivation I encountered a download error on the Virtual Branch website. If the user is still within the lending period, then they have probably maxed out the allowed number of downloads. 1. OverDrive Audio Titles: 3 downloads of the license. 2. OverDrive Video: 2 downloads of the license. A license for a checked out title is downloaded when a user clicks the 'download' button. Have the user send their library card and the title to the support address on the main Help Page. v.10012011 OverDrive, Inc. 2011 Page 30
Download limits / reactivation The library's support team can reactivate a download link. 1. Login to Content Reserve. 2. Go to Reports Tab > Search Checkouts. 3. Enter the library card number.

Retrieving a title on hold I received an email notification that my title on hold is available, but I can't find it. The user may have logged in with a different library card than the one they used to place the hold. The user may not have retrieved the title during the hold period set by the library or consortium. The user may have added the title to their cart, and failed to check out in the allotted time period. When this happens, the title is removed from the cart and the hold is canceled. v.10012011 OverDrive, Inc. 2011 Page 32
