(ETA: It's under Library/Authorize Computer from the library view and should say "This computer has been authorized to EMAILADDRESS". If you don't see that, whatever you do, don't click CTRL-D or CTRL-SHIFT-D, which is IIRC how you deauthorize an ADE setup.)
Adobe really ought to make people use or register an actual Adobe ID upon installing ADE because otherwise they run into serious problems. Other MR members have been burned by this before.
If your setup isn't registered, it means that you can only read the DRM books on that particular computer, and if anything happens so that you reinstall or even register a proper Adobe ID later, you lose access to all your previous books and since the Adobe content servers have already recorded your books as having been downloaded to that temporary "account", they won't let you re-download to a new one.
If that happens to be the case, do not in any way touch the registration of ADE until you have your pre-existing ADE-downloaded books stripped via the tools.
Mine comes with Amasis, Frutiger Neue, Palatino nova, Really No 2, Univers Next, and Verdana.

My ADE is not registered.
So to keep a 'stripped' copy I just save the epub version from my actual Calibre folder and not the epub from the ADE folder?
And by key you mean the .acsm file?
And then I can go ahead and register to get an ADE ID which can then be used for both my Kobo and my Sony?
Should I uninstall the ADE version I have and start fresh?
And thanks for the information on the fonts, I'll probably just stick with those. As I said before, I'm trying to keep this setup as simple as possible.
