ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>SyntaxError

[tasseyplease]

I'm getting the following error message when uploading latest plugins on Macbook/Ventura. Last version of plugins is 6.0.8, and using Calibre 6.9. I am lost, and have no clue how to fix this issue.

Here is the error message received:

Be sure to use DeDRM 10.0.3 with calibre 6.x.

https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.3

[tasseyplease]

Thanks for the reply. I am using DeDRM 10.0.3 with Calibre 6.9. I updated Calibre to the latest, and downloaded the tools twice, with no luck.

[ElleKayEm]

Hmm...those syntax errors make it seem like it's still trying to initialize an older incompatible version of DeDRM. Try removing any currently loaded DeDRM. Restart calibre and load the new version. Then restart calibre again and look at the loaded plugins to make sure it's 10.0.3.

[tasseyplease]

I was thinking it may be something like that. Unfortunately this is a new computer where i transferred the files from the old to the new. When I click to show user installed plugins nothing shows up, and I'm not sure how to find the old plugins.

Thanks for your help. Sorry I'm not more computer savy.

[ElleKayEm]

Make sure you are trying to load DeDRM_plugin.zip from the unzipped DeDRM_tools_10.0.3 folder. And not a previous download of the older DeDRM.

[tasseyplease]

Thanks for you help. I was able to add the plug in successfully. Now my problem is I tried to add a azw file, but conversion failed. I also added the serial number for my old e-ink device to customization. Here is the error message:
