We were contacted yesterday by someone “in the know” who provided us this update on the fate of Entriq:

“Christopher,

Entriq was folded into Irdeto and is now called Irdeto Digital Media Solutions. They have changed their position to focus on “Content Management” which you can see from the following link: http://www.irdeto.com/solutions/37-contentmanagement.html ”

Update 06.29.09

The Entriq product range is now rebranded to the Irdeto Content Management System (CMS) and remains the same superbly capable product:

- Supports Windows DRM

- Supports WM licences issued from a playready server

- Adobe DRM not supported, but of course flash is

So that pretty much sums it up. Entriq has been shutdown finally after an 8 year run and a rumored $140M in cash. So long and nice to know you Entriq.

All the best to Irdeto as they enter the Digital Media Marketplace.
