WMP Error: 438: Unknown error occurred when storing your license

I am using Windows XP with Media Player 11. Since yesterday I’m trying to download a music licenses but every time it ends up with an error message saying “WMP Error: 438: Unknown error occurred when storing your license.”

Is there any way we can get rid of this error and download the required license? Please help. I have no idea what else should I try.

Hey even I’m struggling with very similar error message. On my system the problem is with only WMA files. My WMP 11 refuses to play them and when I try download the license, I get error 438. Neither able to play wma files nor able to download license. Somebody please provide some working solution.

I don’t think the error 438 is generated by Windows Media Player because they usually generate error codes like 0x800420FC, it use to be 8 digits code. Instead the error message is related to the website from where you downloading license. SO better contact the music supplier and tell them about this error.

I get this message when trying to download a music licenses. I am running XP
and WMP 11.0.5721.5230. I have set up this PC with a handful of user id's,
most point the the shared documents for music ripped from cd's.[/QUOTE]
