Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB circumvented - Page 36

edbro · 02-08-2010, 07:10 PM

Well, I got it fixed. Still not sure what the problem was. I uninstalled it from my C: drive and put it on my D: drive. Sometimes Windows 7 gives me problems writing to the system partition. Thanks to all who offered suggestions.

Well, if anyone screwed up (like me

) and created a new key after the ADE upgrade, there are several comments on the cabbages blog on how to fix it.
There is a link to download the old version, to uninstall the new one and go back to the old. Reauthorized your PC and create a new key. I've just been putting up with the 'upgrade in 44 days' box, but I can deDRM again.

Whew! I have a backup or 10 now!

One question. Do you see the icon associated to file type? Yesterday I had the same problem and I had to say again the program for opening that kind of files.

No need to worry - the problem will solve itself. Adobe couldn't have done major changes. It's probably only some added xor schema in the private key ...

Hi there,

For some strange reason, my DRM removal stopped working. It was just fine but a few days ago, I tried to remove the DRM from an epub and I got an error message saying "error decrypting book session key". I tried everything, I even uninstalled ADE and reinstalled the old version, I re-generated the keys... no luck!
Any idea on how can I fix this?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry, wasn't sure if there was an updated blog.
Thanks.

The blog itself hasn't been updated, just users adding comments. Some of the last ones reference a link (ebook-converter.com) that has the whole package, with v5 for pdfs, and an even older version of ADE.

What the hell happened with ebook-converter. Did they use the script and just included it in their executable? Didn't they break the GPL with that?

When you updated your ADE, did you delete adeptkey.der or generate a new one on top of it? If you did either of those things and don't have a copy of adeptkey.der from 1.7.1, then you've kind of screwed things up where they did not need to be screwed up. Go to Cabbages blog and you'll find a post how to fix things when you reinstall 1.7.1.

I think I generated another key, accidentally. I found the blog, applied the solution and now everything works fine!

Thanks!

I'm not registering, but the person who posted about ACSM files is WAY off-base. It's because they've destroyed the key file why things no longer work. I bet they generated a new one over the old one without a backup.

JSWolf · 02-09-2010, 07:56 PM

BACKUP adeptkey.der from 1.7.1. You do NOT need to generate a new one with 1.7.2.
