Johannes Jauch
Axinom DRM Product Owner, CTO

Google Widevine recently announced that its Cloud License Service (CLS) will cease operations on April 13, 2027. While this date may seem distant, the implications for content providers and OTT platforms currently relying on this service are immediate and require careful planning.

What Does the Sunset Mean for You?

Already on Axinom DRM? Case closed. You're done. 🚀

If not, Widevine CLS' retirement means that you'll need to migrate to an alternative license service provider to ensure uninterrupted content protection and delivery. This transition period is an opportunity to evaluate your current DRM strategy and seek solutions that offer greater flexibility, higher availability, and specialized features that your current solution might lack.

Axinom DRM Product Owner, CTO

In today’s digital content landscape, Google Widevine remains the most widely used DRM technology. As streaming ecosystems evolve, the demand for low-latency and highly available DRM services is growing — especially among clients operating in time-sensitive environments.

Axinom DRM is a robust multi-DRM service. For Widevine, Axinom has integrated the official Widevine License Server SDK directly into its service — enabling us to issue licenses without any dependency on Google’s own cloud service.
