I managed to get a Eureka moment and the problem appears to be solved.
It seems that the error message I was receiving was misleading and that the problem was due to Adobe Digital Editions not recognising/showing the PRS-505 in the bookshelf list rather than user licence issues.
I perused the manual installation thread (top of forum sticky) in more detail and managed to resolve the problem by following the suggestions from mrpeteguy.

But, instead of putting the registry key in at HKLM\Software\Sony Corporation, I put it in at HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Sony Corporation. As soon as I started Adobe Digital Editions, it detected my reader, and I could transfer to it.
I think this is the right spot because of the way Windows x64 provides access to the registry for 32 bit programs.
To put it simply, at HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Sony Corporation\PRS, I put the following string value:
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Sony\\Reader\\Data\\bin\\
Hope this helps someone!

... and to repeat the point: Hope it helps someone.
