You need DeDRM 10.0.3 for calibre 6.x: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.3 |
|
Thank you ElleKayEm for the quick reply and new link, I have a similar issue to parrotfella with both both versions of the DeDRM plugin, 7.2.1 and 10.0.3: calibre-64bit-6.2.1 Error message copied to & from clipboard pasted below: calibre, version 6.2.1 calibre 6.2.1 embedded-python: True |
|
Make sure you are loading the DeDRM_plugin.zip from 10.0.3. Delete, move, or rename any older versions so you don't mix them up. |
|
YESSSSSS! This worked. Thank you so much again, ElleKayEm!! |
|
Thank you. I can take it from here. I appreciate that you got the link for
me.

Hi, I just installed calibre 6.7.1, then tried to install the 10.0.3 DRM plugins. The DeDRM plugin failed to install, and I got this error message: calibre, version 6.7.1 calibre 6.7.1 embedded-python: True How can I get the DeDRM plugin to load successfully? Thank you. Also, though the Obok plug seemed to load, it's not appearing in on the calibre menu. Does that mean that it didn't load correctly also? Thank you! |
|
Looks like you aren't loading 10.0.3, but an older version. |
|
I uninstalled calibre, then reinstalled calibre 6.7.1. Then I made sure I was looking at dedrm 10.0.3, and tried to load DeDRM_plugin.zip then Obok_plugin.zip. Calibre gave me no confirmations that either had been loaded . I verified that neither had loaded by scanning the list of all loaded plugins. I restarted calibre, but still neither set of plugins appeared. Then I tried loading 10.0.3 set of plugins again. Still nothing loaded. What am I doing wrong? |
|
I don't know. It should ask if you're sure you want to proceed. Then when you click yes, you should see a success message. |
|
I've received no successmessage each time I've tried loading the plugins.. I could de-install calibre v6.7.1 again, then install calibre v4.2.3, which I know works with the deDRM v6.7 plugins. But I would rather have up-to-date software on my PC if possible. |
|
I really don't know what the issue could be. For me, it works exactly as it always has loading previous versions. I'm on Windows 10, calibre 6.7.1, and the 10.0.3 plugins. |
|
That's the same setup as what I have: Win10, and calibre 6.7.1. I'm frustrated as I've been trying to get this to work since last week. I have removed the installation and reinstalled many times, and it still isn't working. |
|
Are you still getting an error message? Does it ask if you want to proceed? And then nothing? Or what? |
|
No error message, no success message. Just nothing, after I load first the DeDRM plugin, then the Obok plugin. |
|
Do you see the security risk warning where it asks if you want to proceed? |
|
No, I don't receive that message either. (Sorry, forgot to mention that.) |
|
I wonder if that's hiding somehow -- off to an edge, behind something. |
|
I checked behind any and all other apps I had running. And more importantly, the plugins never appeared in my list of installed plugins. |
|
Yes, I think that's because calibre is waiting for your response to proceed with loading the plugin or not. As soon as you select a plugin file and click open, that "Are you sure?" dialog box appears. Nothing will happen unless you answer yes or no. |
|
No dialog box appears. With the Are you sure question. I just tried it again and nothing appeared. |
|
I don't know how you can resolve that. |
|
I retried several times (uninstalling, reinstalling, then reloading plugins) -- failure each time. So I've given up, and reinstalled calibre 4.2.3 and its assoc plugins. Totally frustrated, but nothing has worked so far for me with any other higher versions of calibre and the DRM plugins. |
|
Try installing the 10.0.3 plugins on the older calibre and then update calibre. |
|
So, to confirm: in calibre v4.2.3, try to load v10.0.3 drm plugins. Then deinstall v4.2.3 and install calibre v6.7.1z. |
|
Since you can install plugins on the older version, load the 10.0.3 plugins in calibre 4.23. (They are actually suppose to be compatible with older calibre versions too.) Then just update calibre. You should see a link at the bottom that a newer version is available. |
|
Trying what you suggested right now. Tried loading v10.0.3 and no Are you sure message. I checked, the message isn't hiding under anything. Also, was I supposed to have removed the older versions of the plugin first, or just load the most recent? |
|
And v10.0.3 didn't load. All that happened was the Apply button remained greyed out after I tried loading both of the plugins. No Are you sure message, no loaded message, and only the Discard button was enabled the whole time. So, nothing loaded. |
|
I'm baffled as to why you are unable to load plugins at all on old or new versions of calibre. I cannot reproduce the issue of not getting that "Are you sure?" prompt. Here it is step-by-step to see if we can figure out what's going wrong:
If you're still stuck on not seeing the "Are you sure?" box, then I'm completely stumped. |
|
Oh my god!!! It worked!! :-) I followed your instructions exactly (your instructions are what I've been doing already on my own), and it finally worked. I don't know why it didn't work until now, but it worked, and that's all I care about. You are awesome!! Thank you so, so much! |
|
Whew! I'm so glad it finally worked for whatever reason. |
|
Either way, thank you! Thank you! |
|
Okay, I was too happy too soon. DRM isn't removed. Is that because I I'm using v10.0.3 with cal v4.23? Should I install cal v6.7.1 then load a DRMed book into calibre to verify the 10.0.3 plugins are working? |
|
DeDRM 10.0.3 is supposed to work with older calibre too, but I don't know how well that's been tested. You may as well update calibre and see. If that doesn't do it, then post a log: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/blob/master/FAQs.md#i-cannot-solve-my-problem-with-the-dedrm-plugin-and-now-i-need-to-post-a-log-how-do-i-do-that |
|
Okay, upgraded to calibre v6.7.1, then re-uploaded the same book then two others. All three stripped of DRM successfully. This has been a heck of a long road, and thank you so much for all your patience and all your help. |

Good to hear! |
Just trying to install a plugin from a file. Fresh install and downloads. New to this and looked for a solution, apologies if i missed it
