If you try to remove DRM from B&N ebooks, see the following thread:
How to remove DRM protection from B&N (Barnes & Noble) EPUB ebooks
Another problem is that ADE 1.7.2 changed how the key information is stored. If you have adeptkey.der generated prior to ADE 1.7.2, you can use it to remove DRM protection from ebooks downloaded before updating ADE to version 1.7.2.

- Hold down Shift-Ctrl-D to de-authorize your PC. Digital Editions should close, but if it doesn't then restart.
- Re-authorize your PC as per usual
- ..now try running the ineptkey and ineptepub scripts again - this worked for me !
Solution #2: - Just uninstall the new version, delete the ADEPT folder in the Registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Adobe>ADEPT - Delete the My Digital Editions folder in My Documents.
- Reboot computer.
- Re-install the old version provided in the link below.
Code:

(check all downloads with VirusTotal or any good antivirus) - Reactivate ADE.
- Run the Ineptkey again to obtain the Adeptkey.der.
- Then you should be good to go.
Note:
Digital Editions will not download any new eBooks while it knows there is a newer version of itself available.
It is probably possible to work around this by figuring out what the update server is and block it by updating the hosts file or using a firewall etc etc,
..so to cut a long story short, I updated Digital Edition back to 1.7.2 but kept a copy of the key I grabbed from the 1.7.1 version and it still allows decrypting. |
You can also re-download EPUB ebooks that were downloaded when using ADE prior to 1.7.2, then generate new adeptkey.der with inteptkey v.4.3 or ineptkeymac v.1. After that you can remove DRM protection using one ineptepub or aineptepub.
It is recommended to use ADE 1.7.2 and re-download ebooks (instead of downgrading ADE to v.1.7.1.)
