It seems that people having problems are those that are running the key file for the first time after having upgraded to the latest version of DE. For some reason adeptkey.pyw does not find the key in the latest version, supporting your theory that Adobe may have moved the key to a different register within DE. Therefore, the script that needs possible modification now would be the adeptkey.pyw (or ineptkey.pyw) script, once someone can identify where the key in the new version is stored.
Does that may sense to your way of thinking?

This is my esperiment, may be it is useful:
Newly formatted computer, I have done a new complete installation of Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.1.1085; then I have re-downloaded two e-books from e-book.com (both pdf 1.5). I have authorized ADE, and downloaded them. I used the ineptkey.pyw to retreive the adeptkey.der and decripted with ineptpdf.pyw v.3 the newly downloaded file in the newly installed ADE: success! They can be read and opened in any pdf reader.
Then I tried to decrypt as well with the newly reteived key the encrypted version of the books previously downloaded with the old ADE installation: success too!
Finally I tried to decrypt a prevoiusly downloaded encrypted book from another vendor (pdf 1.4), wich isn't possible to re-download with the new ADE installtion: success too!
Note that this last ebook (pdf 1.4) was the only one I couln't decrypt with version 2 of ineptpdf.pyw, but only with version 3.
This version (3) is the one I used in all the experiment. In my experience, ineptpdf.pyw, version 3 (that can be retreived using yahoo search) seems to solve any problems..
Thank you i♥cabbages !
