what's the chance of that !!!

if i get a eBook from somewhere else and i don't know the PID of this ebook, then it is not possible to deDRM it?
As Jellby points out, no - If you don't know the PID - then ..... (one of the reasons/drawbacks of DRM - even if you own the book !).

Is it possible to go back to the store you bought it from and download it again, with the new PID....
