Widevine and FairPlay licences for the stack you already run.

You don't have to move your whole pipeline to use our DRM. Keep your packager, player and CDN, and point them at our licence servers. Best price and capabilities, guaranteed, or we improve your offer.

## Switching takes three steps.

1. **Send us your current offer**: Share your current provider and what you pay for Widevine and FairPlay licences, or your expected volume if you are starting out.
2. **Get a better price, same or more capabilities**: We reply within 24 hours with per-licence pricing. If another official provider publishes a better offer, we improve it.
3. **Point your player at our licence servers**: Keep your packaging, player and CDN. Swap the licence URL, set your policies, and you are live.

## Our price guarantee

Transparent per-licence pricing with no per-seat fees and no enterprise-only tiers. It scales down for small catalogues and down again as your volume grows.

**Best price and capabilities, guaranteed.** If you find a better offer, we improve it.

- **Price**: Lower per-licence pricing than any official Widevine provider that publishes its prices.
- **Capabilities**: The same features or more: licence policies, key rotation and one API for Widevine and FairPlay.
- **Otherwise**: Send us the offer that beats ours. We improve it.

* The comparison covers official Widevine providers that publish their prices. It doesn't include additional or individually negotiated discounts, although we also try to match volume discounts.

## What's included

- **Widevine and FairPlay**: Licences for the browsers, phones and devices those two systems cover.
- **Licence policies and key rotation**: Set the rules each licence carries, per title or per viewer, and rotate content keys from the same service.
- **One simple API**: Licence issuing, policies and key rotation behind one API your backend calls.
- **Licences straight from the source**: Fastevo is one of only 21 companies Google Widevine authorises to issue licences to other businesses. Your licences come from us, with no reseller in between.
- **Our own SDK**: We are one of the few licence providers with our own SDK, built and supported by the same team that issues your licences.
- **Control who plays what, and where**: Restrict each licence by title, by distribution partner or by region, and trace every licence we issue.

## Questions about licensing

### Which product do I need?

If you want to upload videos and have them play protected on your site or app, without running video infrastructure, use the Secure Video Library. If you already package and stream your own videos and only need DRM licences, use DRM licensing.

### What is video DRM?

Digital Rights Management encrypts a video and only hands the decryption key to devices that have a valid licence. Without a licence the file is unplayable, so a downloaded copy is useless.

### Does it work in web browsers, or only in apps?

In browsers too. Fastevo brings to the web the protection that used to be available only in native mobile apps, and it works in all major browsers, on desktop and mobile.

### Are videos protected from downloads and screen capture on every device?

Downloads are blocked everywhere: the file stays encrypted. On devices with hardware-backed DRM, a screen recording captures a black frame. Where a device cannot enforce that, the forensic watermark still identifies whoever made the recording.

### Can I buy only DRM licences and keep my own player and CDN?

Yes. Our standalone licence service issues Widevine and FairPlay licences for the packaging, player and CDN you already run. We handle licence issuing, policies and key rotation behind one API.

### How does the price guarantee work?

Send us your current offer. We guarantee the best price and capabilities on the market; if yours is better, we improve it. The comparison covers official Widevine providers that publish their prices, without additional or individually negotiated discounts. We also try to match volume discounts.

## Rather not run video infrastructure at all?

Our Secure Video Library hosts, transcodes, watermarks, delivers and plays your videos for you. https://fastevo.com/video-library/
