Hi, bobbyco57. The other thread link below might help you. The issue seems to be similar. I am not sure how you uninstalled the program, but there are a few extra steps you need to do to completely cleanup your system before reinstalling the software.

Also, I am not sure what you mean by restoring the new MBP to a new username. I recommend you stick with the same Sony & Adobe account names as before, especially since I assume your 505 is already registered to the previous accounts.

It's ok that you didn't get to deauthorize your old MBP that died. You are allowed to have two computers registered to your Sony account. When you get Reader Library going again and log into your old Sony account, then you should see both your old and new computers registered. All you have to do is call Sony support, explain the situation and the ask them to remove the old MBP.

Good luck! It's never fun setting up a new computer, especially when it was an unplanned event. You have inspired me to run a Time Machine backup later today!
