Definition

What License Server means
A license server validates a playback request and issues the license or key information required to use DRM-protected content.
Why the term matters in content protection
License Server describes one part of how protected content is stored, identified, accessed, or redistributed. Using the term precisely helps investigators separate the observed technology or behavior from the later question of authorization.
How to use the definition
Record the underlying evidence rather than relying on the label alone: the relevant URL or file, the observed time, the account or service involved, and the protected work. That context makes the definition useful in an investigation and keeps a technical description from being mistaken for a legal conclusion.
