given all the info , my money is still on a activation/ install sequence error.
the plug-in in question ( which we still don't discuss in detail ? ) configures itself ( for me anyway), so I hypothesize that when installing it looks for the adobe key that it will be needing later,
thus sequence needs to be install & activate ADE, then install PI.

the above could be tested & proved/disproved easily enough, but i don't want to mess up my good set up just to find that out. The PI author probably knows already

I cant construct any other theory for why different versions of calibre are behaving differently, if they are using same versions of ADE, same PI , same Adobe ID, and same original books ?

#16 suggests the OP does not want to play bug hunt with us, so we may never know,

but if there was an issue with latest calibre ( or latest at the time that he posted) I'm sure we'd be hearing about it from others. I have not bought anything that needed a de drm in last 7 days so I can't personally attest that all is still good....
