Hi
If you use BLDSC's SED service and Adobe Reader 6 or 7 (without having installed Adobe Digital Editions) you need to know that from April next year these versions will no longer be supported. This is because the document encryption standard is being permanently migrated from content server 3 to content server 4, which will not support earlier encryption standards. This means that SED will only work with Digital Editions from April 2009.
The British Library have announced in their FAQs that Adobe will be making available a standalone installer for ADE from April 2009 - which will allow central installation (AT LAST!!!).
Like to know more then go http://www.bl.uk/sed and click the FAQs link on the right of the webpage.
