Warning

Make sure to remove all rights protection from content that was protected with the rights policy template to be deleted. If content is protected with a deleted rights policy template, the content is not recoverable. Additionally when a rights policy template is deleted from the configuration database, all instances of this template should be deleted from all RMS client computers to avoid content being protected with a template that no longer exists. If this happens, RMS users will not be able to consume the rights-protected content.
