Editing ACT.DAT

== Description ==

An activation file for a Sony Playstation console, based on an account email and password, the devices IDPS, the platform and activation type.

It is used to decrypt NPDRM content license files (.rif) and [[EDAT files]], which themselves lead to content decryption (PFS layer, SELF layer).

== Location ==

=== PSP ===

 ?flash0:NPDRM/ACT.DAT?

=== PS3 ===

 hdd0:home/000000XX/exdata/act.dat

=== PSVita ===

 [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#tm0|tm0]]:npdrm/act.dat
 [[Files_on_the_PS_Vita#tm0|tm0]]:psmdrm/act.dat (only if PSM Is activated)
