Oh I can get what I need from the registry. I just opened regedit, navigated to HCU/Software/Adobe/Adept, exported and am viewing it with strings -el. There's lots of intersting stuff. There's a privateLicenseKey, a licenseCertificate, an authenticationCertificate and there are 6 copies of each. (I must have tried six times.)

I want to get better at Python anyway, and poking around and figuring things out is fun. The only difficulty is that If I do come up with a good script or program, I'll be hesitant to share it for fear that evil doers will shut me down and fine me.

One thing I need to figure out is how to fetch the epub. The .acsm file has a URL but it also has lots of other information. I'm wondering if ADE adds HTTP GET parameters to the URL when it downloads, maybe something like ..covers.com/?hmac=5Uax...
