You did not listen to the correct advice I gave you. Go to the calibre website and get the latest version from there. The version you have is garbage because it;s not built correctly. Plus it's not the current version.

The ZIP file in the link is not the plugin itself. You need to unzip it first. It looks like there is two plugin versions inside the ZIP file linked.

But before the OP installs the plugin, he needs to get a working version of calibre from the official website. Then he can install the plug and get it working from there.

I only replied about the error I quoted. This is a known error. It means the ZIP file is not a plugin. The plugin is inside the ZIP file.

The (1) was not what I found odd. It was a generic: Calibre_Plugins

Dear all,

I had updated to the DeDRM- and Calibre-versions 10.0.9 and 7.23 respectively on my Linux-computer. Then, I had thought I had sorted out everything, but it still does not work. I can download acsm-files into Calibre and open then in ADE, or download them into ADE and then import epubs in Calibre, but I still do not get rid of the DRM!!!

Maybe the problem is that I created an anonymous authorization, and now I am not able to connect to my ADE ID... but if I want to deinstall the ACSM-script and re-install it to chose another option, this does not work anymore: I always get the anonymous authorization where it says it cannot connect to ADE.

Other issue might be, that my wine-prefix is wrong? I inserted: .wine/drive_c

So the question is what to do? I am somehow stuck...

Thanks again for any hint!
Best regards,
ju-scha

Just some addition: I had installed ADE 4.5 via Wine 9.0

By the way: I installed ADE 4.5 via Wine 9.0

It could be that DeDRM is not picking up the key from ADE in Wine.

Maybe, I need to install Calibre also via Wine not LInux? I will try that tomorrow...

Hello, I've installed the plugin, configured it into Calibre with my Adobe account, all work fine, thanks to the quality of the plugin.

Now, I ask me a question and, for that, let me just explain the context (I've searched in the thread but not found anything helpful to answer my question)

I'm running on Mac but I assume that my question applies to Windows configuration the same way. If tomorrow I receive a new Mac and have to reinstall it from scratch, I first would have to deauthorize ACSM in Calibre with the goal to unlink it from my Adobe Account. I know that Adobe authorize maximum 6 activations of account after that they lock it, which is perfectly understandable.

I didn't found any instruction on how to unlink my Adobe account set in ACSM inside Calibre.

Any idea on how to do that?

Thank you for your feedback!

You do not need to unlink your account from DeACSM.

On the new computer, in stall calibre and from the old computer, copy over the settings directory tree and your library directory tree. You can do it with an export and import (from within calibre) or a straight copy. A USB memory card/memory stick would do for this.

Hi and ,

Now, if I take the extreme example that I do not have any backup of calibre, do you know where at Adobe I can see the list of the authorized computer(s)?

I have to admit that Adobe is extremely "blur" on that. Looking via the Adobe Digital Edition application, I can only see the authorization of my computer I made inside the application.

I don't know what you'll see at Adobe. You might only see one computer as you are copying the settings from one computer to the other.

Last I looked, there's no way to tell what computers/apps/devices are authorised to your AdobeID.

The only recourse that I know of if you run out of registrations is to contact Adobe Customer Service and ask them to allow more registrations.
