Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB circumvented - Page 35

Skydog · 02-06-2010, 08:16 PM

O.k., I'm not updating ADE yet, just watching the 45-day countdown. When the time is up, will ADE automatically update? Then, if I uninstall and re-install 1.71 and activate won't I receive the 45-day warning again?

Can anyone explain the steps to me? Just trying to plan ahead and avoid unnecessary trauma.

If you already have an adeptkey.der it should be ok to update, because you don't need to run ineptkey.pyw again (and this is the step that is failing).

Thanks, wallcraft. Still curious though about those who have reinstalled v1.7.1, activation and its useful life.

Also, I read at least one post that mentioned the necessity of having to copy the (working) file over after each use. Is this the case, or will one time fix the problem?

Thanks again.

I didn't have to do anything different after installing 1.7.2. My old key works and I haven't had to restore it — it remains unchanged.

As long as you don't recreate your adeptkey.der after updating, it should still work with the old. key.

On another note, my ADE update message keeps resetting itself back to 44 days everyday on the one computer I haven't updated yet. It got as low as 43 one day, but was back up to 44 the next day. I think I will leave it and see if it ever expires.

That's a quick fix but not a permanent solution.

Same here. I am running Windows 7.

It will most probably doesn't change the key if you just update to a newer version ...

Skydog · 02-07-2010, 09:44 PM

Interesting. I'm not going to do anything and let the countdown timer continue. Old key safely stored.

For some reason, all of a sudden my python scripts no longer work. When I double-click on ineptepub.pyw nothing happens. I've uninstalled/reinstalled python, I've redownloaded the script, rebooted the computer, I've disabled my antivirus, etc. I'm at a loss here. Can anybody offer any suggestions?

I tried to run ineptkey.pyw and that doesn't work either. Both of these were running fine up until last night. I did a system restore to a few days ago and that didn't help either. What would cause these to no longer run?

I am no expert edbro, but have you checked that you have the python entry in the PATH command in the environment variables?

No, but I will as soon as I get home from work. Thanks.

Did you happen to update Adobe Digital Editions to 1.7.2? And are you receiving an error when you run Ineptepub, and if so what is it?

Yes, ADE is at 1.7.2. But, I can't see how that would prevent the script from running. I don't get the gui window at all. I did check the path statement and it did not have Python in it. I added it but I don't think that's the problem either because all my scripts are in the Python directory.

pietvo · 02-08-2010, 07:54 PM

I suspect something to be broken in your python. Can you run the script from the command line?
