Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to providing unified digital rights management (DRM) across heterogeneous computing platforms. In embodiments, a unified DRM engine executed on a computing platform validates one or more constraints defined by a first content license associated with consumption of encrypted content. In response to successful validation, the unified DRM engine, in some embodiments, utilizes a second content license that is associated with the computing platform to enable a native DRM engine of the computing platform to decrypt the encrypted content. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
