Reinstalling after new harddrive

tech_au · 03-06-2010, 04:00 PM

I recently replaced my harddrive and had to reinstall Windows XP ,Adobe DE and Sony Library.
I made a backup of my Adobe DE ebooks and Sony Library Ebooks before replacing the harddrive.
When I reauthorised Adobe DE it was able to restore my ebooks and everything was fine.
When I reauthorised Sony Library it stated that the ebooks were not authorised to view on this computer. Anyone know how to get the Sony library to view those ebooks again or do I have to delete them all and redownload them from the Sony store.

My previously purchased books from the Sony site were available to redownload when I had a similar situation a few months back.

You will have to go into the reader store and re-authorize your computer.

It must be when you reinstall XP and Sony library on your computer you become a different computer to the Sony software but not the Adobe software.
I guess it was a good idea to only download Sony ebooks with the Sony software and everything else from other ebook stores with Adobe DE.
Typical stupid Sony library software
