Unable to register reader for Adobe DRM

MickiTee · 02-02-2015, 04:51 PM

I've just bought a used Touch Lux 2 (626) from Ebay. Its 6 months old and the default language is French.

When it arrived I made a copy of the existing files, reformatted the internal memory, set the language to English and configured my wi-fi. I then checked for software updates which it found and updated to version T626.4.4.1199 without any problems.

I then went to register the device with Abode DRM in Accounts and Synchronization. I can enter my email address and password, but nothing happens after I do this and I get an error when I try & open a DRM'd book. I only have four devices currently registered so I should be able to register my 626. The book I tried to open was the one I was reading on my Sony PRS-T1.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated as I have 300+ DRM'd books & I would prefer not to have to use Calibre and Alf before I can read them.

Try connecting the device to Adobe Digital Editions on your computer. If you're registered with the software your registration is copied to the device, provided you have not exceeded the allowed number of devices registered to your ID (6).

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it at the week-end.

I only have ADE installed on my PC so that I can download and open DRM'd books using other software. I never use ADE for managing or reading books so I didn't think about it.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Running ADE while the 626 was connected to the PC worked & I now have an authorized reader & can read my DRM'd books.

Once again many thanks for the suggestion LucyOne.
