ebooks.com ADE DRM won't disappear

Question / bug report

Hi there, many thanks for developing and maintaining this project.

I've just purchased a book from ebooks.com and sadly was faced with e-books reality that I can't get a file to my kindle due to DRM. After authorizing my laptop in ADE, I ended up with a useless epub that I can't copy to my kindle via email. I found this project on reddit and followed the instructions, however, the ebook will not convert. I've run the app in debug mode and re-imported my ebook. Log is attached below.

Let me know if I am being stupid or there's a newer DRM that can't be yet deDRM'd

Which version of Calibre are you running?

7.13

Which version of the DeDRM plugin are you running?

v10.0.9 AND later attempted with RC1

If applicable, which version of the Kindle software are you running?

No response

ADE is on the same computer and user? Preferably authorized with an Adobe ID. Deleted the saved key from DeDRM's customization. Re-add your book to calibre letting DeDRM automatically retrieve the key.

Ah, that would explain. Didn't want to install unknown software on my company laptop, so I moved the epub to personal device. I have faith this will work then. Thanks for quick reply.
