A method, system and program product for managing a size of a key management block (KMB) during content distribution is provided. Specifically, a first KMB corresponding to a first subtree of devices is received along with content as encrypted with a title key. If a size of the first KMB exceeds a predetermined threshold, a second subtree will be created. A second KMB corresponding to the second subtree of devices will then be generated. The second KMB contains an entry revoking the entire first subtree of devices and, as such, is smaller than the first KMD. Any compliant devices from the first subtree are migrated to the second subtree.
