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:

One thing you can check is that Windows Firewall:

    Hey everyone, I was having this same problem with ebooks I borrowed online from my library.  Nothing in this thread worked except this:

    Running that ResetDRM tool (in compatibility mode & as an administrator) FINALLY solved this problem for me!

    Edited to add: My problem was with Overdrive, not a Zune but this did work!

    Hey. After a lot of frustration,  I got it figured out! You have to add the following link: http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite/en/indivit.asp to the list of trusted sites to Internet Explorer first. Open Internet explorer. Then, click on Tools<Internet options<security<trusted sites<uncheck https as a requirement for a trusted site, then add the link as a trusted site. And then, the upgrade button will work.
