Hi. I am trying to listen to an Overdrive protected audio file from a
local public library.
When I try opening the ODM file in Overdrive Media Console, for
delivery of the full media file, I get the error "Unable to aquire a license to play the selected title. The requested license is either invalid or already aquired"
I get an other error when I try to
get the "Security Upgrade" for WMP11.
I am using Vista 64 bit on a HP a67oof, WMP11, IE8
Overdrive media console is 16bit software so I dont know if thats why I cant get it work???
Can you help:)

Bri-bee, I recommend you visit the following page to contact OverDrive Media Console's support, this is a 3rd party product and we are unfamiliar with its requirements to provide support:

A dialog box is displayed, notifying you that Windows Media Player requires a security upgrade to play DRM-protected content. 3. Click 'OK' in the dialog box.
Windows Media Player opens and the 'Windows Media Player' dialog box is displayed. 4. Click 'Upgrade' to download and install the required security component.
Windows Media Player indicates that it is 'Connecting to server'. Once connected, the security component is downloaded and installed. Windows Media Player indicates that the security component was upgraded successfully. 5. Click the 'Close' button in the 'Windows Media Player' dialog box.
The 'Media Usage Rights Acquisition' dialog box is displayed. 6. Click the 'Play' button in the 'Media Usage Rights Acquisition' dialog box to complete the upgrade.
Windows Media Player plays a brief file, confirming that you have completed the upgrade. 7. Click the 'Cancel' button to close the 'License Acquisition' dialog box. If desired, you can also close Windows Media Player at this time.
You have successfully completed the Windows Media Player Security Upgrade.
