Note that this project does NOT ‘crack’ the DRM. It simplys allows the user to use their own encryption key (fetched from Audible servers) to decrypt the audiobook in the same manner that the official audiobook playing software does.
Please only use this application for gaining full access to your own audiobooks for archiving/converson/convenience. DeDRMed audiobooks should not be uploaded to open servers, torrents, or other methods of mass distribution. No help will be given to people doing such things. Authors, retailers, and publishers all need to make a living, so that they can continue to produce audiobooks for us to hear, and enjoy. Don’t be a parasite.

If you see an error message like "audible_error=Internal service error has occured while processing the request, please contact service admin" during the activation process, then contact Audible customer care and they will clear up your activation slots (there are 8 such slots).
If you see an "activation loop" in the official software (e.g. Audible Download Manager), then you are seeing the same exact problem (you activation slots are all used).
