A playback device has at least one memory having a variant storage, the variant storage including at least one variant of a microcode function, and a processor configured to execute instructions to determine at least one specified variant, access the variant storage of at least one memory to acquire the specified variant, and use the specified variant to decrypt a content file downloaded to a media device in communication with the playback device.
