Does any one have a step by step procedure, or a link to one, to enable Adobe DRM on these no longer Sony supported devices? Ones needing updating include a PRS-950, PRS-350, PRS-T2 and PRS-T3 units. Seems to me that they should have come from Sony so enabled.

BTW I do not have the Sony computer software installed and am working with an old computer that runs Windows XP.

Thanks in advance.
It looks like you just have to load an Adobe DRM file and then the Reader will prompt you for your account information. At least that's what the Sony support shows ...

My 505 isn't authorized, but all my other Sony devices show that they are. I guess I should try it out on the 505 (if I can find my old ADE login name and password).

(I just realized that it appears that this procedure requires the Sony Reader software.)

EDIT: The T2 had my ADE login credentials and I remembered my password, so I installed ADE on a Windows 8.1 partition and then installed Sony Reader. To authorize the 505, I just ran the Sony Reader software, which prompted me to authorize the computer with my ADE credentials, then plugged in the 505 which the software automatically authorized (I guess it just grabs the information from the Sony Reader information). Now the 505 shows that it is authorized to read DRM ePubs.

EDIT 2: The Sony Reader download wanted me to pick a specific device. If I have five Sony devices, does that mean I have to download the software five times?
