Does ADEPTKey Generator 1.1.app work on snow leopard?

Hi there,

I downloaded the app onto my snow leopard (10.6.2). But when I double-clicked on the app, nothing popped up. I also tried right clik->run, still nothing. Just want to check if the app works for snow leopard?

Thanks!

This is a script in the form of an application called ADEPTKey_Generator_1.1. To use it, un-zip the ADEPTKey_Generator_1.1.app.zip file to retrieve the script app. Then double click on the script app's icon. A standard "Where should I put the ADEPT key output file?" dialog will appear. You can Save As: any file name (default is adeptkey.der) to any folder (default is Desktop).

The script then uses "shell script" UNIX code provided by one of the participants in this thread to generate a "private key" that is saved in the ADEPT key output file and then can be used by the ineptepub.py Python script to decrypt downloaded ADE books.

ADEPTKey_Generator_1.1 should not be used until the user has (1) created an Adobe account online using a web browser and then (2) authorized that account in Adobe Digital Editions on the Mac. It requires that a ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions/activation.dat file be present in the user's home folder hierarchy. Activating/authorizing the ADE account causes that file to be created.

Also, if more than one user have ADE accounts, the most recent one authorized is the one ADEPTKey_Generator_1.1 will use in generating the ADEPT Key.
