You are wrong on base64: as the name suggests it encodes using 64 characters (6 bits at a time). Any other of the 64 selected characters is wrong and will give the mentioned error.
Update: Success!! I was able to extract the key and decrypt a book.

Erwin,
Brilliant! A very imaginative workaround on your part!
What version of Adobe Digital Editions are you using? Mine is 1.7.1.1085. I'm on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8. I have to believe that you must be on a different ADE version, and/or a different Mac OS X version, to account for the difference in the
<privateLicenseKey></privateLicenseKey> tags between your
activation.dat file and mine. If you are not already too engrossed in reading your decrypted book
, I'd like to hear back from you about this, because I'm wondering whether I'll need to figure out how to change the "shell script" in my AppleScript to avoid others' running into this problem.
Cheers,
Eric
