I installed DeDRM correctly but the ePub still has DRM on it

[melimu2608]

Hi!

I downloaded DeDRM according to the DeDRM textfile and tried to send the book afterwards to my Kindle (with Calibre). But it still has the same issue after installing the plugin.

I also followed the following instructions:

_Troubleshooting

If you find that the DeDRM plugin is not working for you (imported ebooks still have DRM - that is, they won't convert or open in the calibre ebook viewer), you should make a log of the import process by deleting the DRMed ebook from calibre and then adding the ebook to calibre when it's running in debug mode. This will generate a lot of helpful debugging info that can be copied into any online help requests. Here's how to do it:

• Remove the DRMed book from calibre.
• Click the Preferences drop-down menu and choose 'Restart in debug mode'.
• Once calibre has re-started, import the problem ebook._

That was what came off in the debug mode:

Update to DeDRM 10.0.9: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.9

Though i installed version 10.0.9 from your link. but when i am installing it to Calibre, it is showing as DeDRM (10.0.3 )

Make sure you are browsing to the correct folder when loading and not just reinstalling your previous download. Click ok and apply on your way out of the windows. Then restart calibre before trying again.
