I completely agree with the first part of your post about that person being way off base. The second part is more interesting — I have a feeling they're actually trying to decrypt the ACSM file...

Hehe - I don't think Adobe has changed the decryption scheme that much. It's just an obfuscation of the original key (the 'old key' still works if you haven't reauthorized your ADE). IMHO they are just doing some additional masking of the key like x-oring it before ... and the Ainept isn't updated so it's strange that it is working and the new one isn't ...

And of course the e-book only shows garbage if you use the wrong key

...

Okay, and how do you get around that? Because you cannot ignore it forever, at some point it won't let you use ADE until you upgrade!

On the desktop, it's saying 43 days left. I may just upgrade and be done since I already have the key file.

I have been getting the 44 day warning for about a week and a half. Once it got to 43, but was back at 44 the next day.

But as long as you update, but don't rerun ineptkey, you should be fine. Most people are having good results with upgrading. I only have one more computer to go, and I have already updated my Vista and Windows 7 computers.

Why are they forcing the update anyway ?
(Anyway, if i can't de-drm book anymore, no more buying books. Period.)

I suspect it's because they want to turn off some servers. But it might be that they want to plug a DRM hole, however ineptly.

That's what the update said - ending support for Content Server 3, plus some bug fixes. Here's the release notes (PDF).

ATimson · 02-11-2010, 11:46 AM

Except the ending of support for Content Server 3 was also in the 1.7.1 release notes.

I upgraded before I saw this thread. Luckily, I have had no problems. I'm running Windows 7.

Same for me.

Does it matter if you update from ADE or go directly to the website to do it?

ADE just sends you to the website anyways.

One important question: If you upgrade from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2 does ADE change the hardware key in the registry? Can you decrypt new bought e-books (with 1.7.2) with your old key?
