So if you have already registered you should be fine but for a new registration it could fail.

If my suspicions are right it should get problems with epubs as well ...

Can somebody else verify that by installation the newest DE, reregister, download an e-book and try to decrypt?
I think this makes sense to me via the people that are having problems and those that are not.

You're saying that those of us that have old adeptkeys are not having problems even though we have been forced to upgrade to DE 1.7.1 because the key script no longer finds the information needed to produce the adeptkey.der file, but we have a working key file? Very interesting. You'd have thought that the objective of forcing people to upgrade would be to change/hide the key so that neither the pdf or epub decrypting scripts would work.

thanks for your investigations
