Go to the plugin configuration and recalculate the key.

I'm not really a K4PC user, for obvious reasons but it seems strange that an update would deregister you. I would think Windows users in particular would be frantic.
Amazon doesn't give you a choice. If you want to use K4PC, install the new version. They block the old version from even starting. You lose access to new purchases and anything already downloaded. Calibre will no longer open your previous purchases either as the old key is invalid. Last time this happened I inquired around and they suggested 3 things.

1. Buy cheap Kindle for serial number. Used ones go for $10.
2. Don't download to PC until you are ready to read the book. Chances of Amazon going out-of-business is small.
3. Download immediately and convert to epub and delete all books from K4PC and mobis from Calibre. Not as practical if you have already accumulated 20,000 titles.

Option #1 is the most secure and reliable.
