You will need to go to the preferences and uncheck the auto update checkbox. Then download and install 1.17 over the top of the newer installation. You'll also need to delete the KFX folders from your My Kindle Content folder. You may also need to take further action to prevent an auto update. The simplest wayis to find the 'updates' folder and replace it with a file. See [this thread] (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371) at MobileRead for a Script to do this on a PC.

## Why don't the tools work with LCP-encrypted ebooks? / Error message about a "DMCA takedown"
Support for LCP DRM removal was included in the past, but Readium (the company who developed that particular DRM) has decided to [open a DMCA takedown request](https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2022/01/2022-01-04-readium.md) in January 2022.
