Step 2: Register Your Free Software
Before you use a title checked out from this website, you'll need to activate the software that you downloaded. You only need to activate the software once for each machine on which you'll use the material. See below for more on activation.
OverDrive Media Console:
OverDrive Media Console utilizes Windows Media Player® 9 Series (or newer) to play files. The first time that Windows Media Player attempts to open a DRM-protected file, it will alert you that a Security Update must be
performed before the file may be opened. The update takes just a few moments, and must be performed before Microsoft Windows Media Player will allow any DRM-protected files to be played.
