Forget the GUI. Not worth it. It's good to learn to use the command line. All the other DRM removers are command line only. So it will help. That said, find the site for ConvertLIT, read the readme file that comes with it on how to set it up. Once done, use ConvertLIT to remove the DRM.

Now you have multiple choices as to what to do withthe DRM free LIT. You can use Book Designer to load it and edit it. Or you can use Calibre to convert. Calibre's lit2lrf is actually easier to use. Now if you want to explode the LIT into it's component parts, use lit2oeb from Calibre as there are bugs in ConvertLIT's exploding. They are minor and most of the time it won't affect you, but lit2oeb overcomes these bugs.
