I've encountered another problem, though I can't tell whether it's with the store or with Acrobat's DRM, but it lies somewhere in the middle. **edit: a quick test shows it's both; I edited the .etd file for Narrog to use the ISBN etc for Exalted and opened it directly; Acrobat showed the exact same error message.**

I registered at drivethrurpg, and clicked on the free Exalted link. It didn't think Acrobat 6 was installed, I assured it that it was. Rather than the setup DRM, then redirect to a download page that I was expecting, the file began to download automatically.

Well, I didn't want it there. No matter, I figured, I'll just download it again when I got home. When I got home, I logged in and clicked on the free Exalted link again, and the following shows up in my browser: "410 Gone
(18) OrderID 223367432386745 has already been fulfilled"

Sounds like the store, right? Well, not quite so simple. I clicked on the free Narrog link, and instead of using the EBXTransfer helper app to open it, I saved the file to disk. I then did it again, so the store is keeping track of whether I've downloaded the product or not. I don't know if it's keeping track accurately; maybe I should try downloading another product and shut down the network intentionally...

So now I either have to actually transfer the file from work to home (I'm not even sure I still have the file at work - the XP box had a BSOD shortly after testing the file, and my system wouldn't even cold-boot for a good half hour), or I have to use another email account to register as a separate user at DT. It's not worth the effort.
