<h1>Managing Barnes and Noble Keys</h1>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>If you have upgraded from an earlier version of the plugin, any existing Barnes and Noble keys will have been automatically imported, so you might not need to do any more configuration. Continue reading for key generation and management instructions.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Creating New Keys:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>On the right-hand side of the plugin’s customization dialog, you will see a button with an icon that looks like a green plus sign (+). Clicking this button will open a new dialog for entering the necessary data to generate a new key.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><span class="bold">Unique Key Name:</span> this is a unique name you choose to help you identify the key. This name will show in the list of configured keys. Choose something that will help you remember the data (name, cc#) it was created with.</li>
|
||
<li><span class="bold">Your Name:</span> This is the name used by Barnes and Noble to generate your encryption key. Seemingly at random, Barnes and Noble choose one of three places from which to take this name. Most commonly, it’s your name as set in your Barnes & Noble account, My Account page, directly under PERSONAL INFORMATION. Sometimes it is the the name used in the default shipping address, and sometimes it’s the name listed for the active credit card. If these names are different in your Barnes and Noble account preferences, I suggest creating one key for each version of your name. This name will not be stored anywhere on your computer or in calibre. It will only be used in the creation of the one-way hash/key that’s stored in the preferences.</li>
|
||
<li><span class="bold">Credit Card#:</span> this is the default credit card number that was on file with Barnes and Noble at the time of download of the ebook to be de-DRMed. Just enter the 16 (15 for American Express) digits. As with the name, this number will not be stored anywhere on your computer or in calibre. It will only be used in the creation of the one-way hash/key that’s stored in the preferences.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>Click the OK button to create and store the generated key. Or Cancel if you don’t want to create a key.</p>
|
||
<p>New keys are checked against the current list of keys before being added, and duplicates are discarded.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Deleting Keys:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>On the right-hand side of the plugin’s customization dialog, you will see a button with an icon that looks like a red "X". Clicking this button will delete the highlighted key in the list. You will be prompted once to be sure that’s what you truly mean to do. Once gone, it’s permanently gone.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Renaming Keys:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>On the right-hand side of the plugin’s customization dialog, you will see a button with an icon that looks like a sheet of paper. Clicking this button will promt you to enter a new name for the highlighted key in the list. Enter the new name for the encryption key and click the OK button to use the new name, or Cancel to revert to the old name..</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Exporting Keys:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>On the right-hand side of the plugin’s customization dialog, you will see a button with an icon that looks like a computer’s hard-drive. Use this button to export the highlighted key to a file (with a ‘.b64’ file name extension). Used for backup purposes or to migrate key data to other computers/calibre installations. The dialog will prompt you for a place to save the file.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Importing Existing Keyfiles:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>At the bottom-left of the plugin’s customization dialog, you will see a button labeled "Import Existing Keyfiles". Use this button to import existing ‘.b64’ key files. Key files might come from being exported from this or older plugins, or may have been generated using the original i♥cabbages script.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Once done creating/deleting/renaming/importing decryption keys, click Close to exit the customization dialogue. Your changes wil only be saved permanently when you click OK in the main configuration dialog.</p>
