However...

When I try to open a DRM-protected LIT file, Reader crashes. Poof, disappears. Bombs out. "Exits unexpectedly."

Thoughts? Is this method only good for backing up and restoring activation on the same device?

Yes the activation is device specific. I tried to copy my activation from my
X5 to my X50V but it would not open my DRM-protecteted books. So after activating my X50V I created another folder to have on hand for future setbacks.
