DRM (Digital Right Management) is the access control technologies to restrict the usage of proprietary software, hardware or digital contents. Basically, in iClone Character Creator, validating the DRM data is focused on the sliders used in different projects (*.ccProject). You can then perform the solutions for these sliders in accordance with their status after validation.

1. Save projects for validation in which the character is morphed with custom sliders into a folder.
   
2. Execute the command, Submission Tools >> Validate DRM.
   
3. Select the folder in step 1 for validation.
4. After the validation, you will see the result as show below:
   
   • Slider UID: This column lists all the utilized custom sliders found in projects.
   • Name: This column lists all the names of the custom sliders. It is the Morph Name given in the creating custom slider procedure.
