[MPlayer-users] how can i make mplayer aquire licenses for .wmvfile off the net?

[Tony Sim]

aye
then how about programs like FreeMe?
can that be of any help?  it's having hard time finding the license that 
i've acquired, but can it be tinkered in a way that it can?  i mean, windows 
media player did say that i've backed up the license file, so it must be in 
hdd somewhere, shouldn't it?
