I know it is possible to backup MSReader activation but...

Is it possible to do the same for Audible? I want to do a hard reset and was hoping to save files to make the activation a little simpler than going through the audible website.

Anyone know? Thanks.

If there is, I would like to know also. I just did a hard reset Sunday, and forgot to reactivate and didn't realize it until traveling yesterday....had to reactivate last night.

I found that with the newest version of Audible Manager, activation takes about 1 second and hasn't failed in the two times I needed to activate. The process with the older version landed me on the phone with Audible support every time. Much better now.

Just make sure you deactivate in the software before the hard reset (or you will lose an activation).
Then when you copy over a book, it will activate the device again for you.

The PC software can even download and install the PPC software for you.

Good point! I actually had to call them to reset my activations..didn't even think about deactivating to avoid that. Here is the response I got from Audible about saving activations:



We apologize for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, there is currently no fix to resolve this issue. When your PDA
is rebooted, it clears the activation of your account on the PDA. Our files are
proprietary, and therefore need to be activated in order for you to access
them. You are allowed a maximum of 3 device activations per account,
therefore, the AudiblePlayer application on your PC recognizes your device as
if it were a new device. If we allowed users to save the activation file, a
user would be able to transfer the activation file to multiple devices and they
would be able to access your account as well. We need to keep our content
protected this way in order to prevent piracy.
