Brian, when I ran into this problem some time ago, I didn't realize durable
activation required use of a cable supplied in the Stream box. Below are
step-by-step instructions. I'm afraid I didn't note the source, but I
believe it's HumanWare.
Q. How do I activate my Stream with Audible Manager?
A. First, be sure you have version 5.1.0.2 or higher of Audible Manager. If
you are an existing Audible customer, you can download the latest version of
Audible Manager from
http://download.audible.com/AM50/ActiveSetupN.exe
When Install Shield asks you to choose a player device, you may choose
Victor Reader Stream. Alternatively, you can also choose No mobile Device
during
the installation because you can also add the Stream device later from
Audible Manager.
Once it is installed, be sure to remain connected to the Internet and run
Audible Manager. With Audible Manager running you are now ready to activate
your
Stream SD card for playing Audible books. Follow these steps:
. Insert the SD card in your Stream. Power off your Stream and connect it to
your computer using the long USB cable provided. Then power the Stream back
on. You should hear the message, Player connected. Important: When using
Audible Manager, you must connect the Stream. You cannot activate with your
SD card in a card reader.
. After connecting, Windows may open the auto play dialog asking you what
program you want to use to play your USB device. Simply arrow down to the
Take
no Action choice or close that window and return to the Audible Manager
window.
. In Audible Manager, press Alt+D to open the Device pull down menu.
. If you did not specify the Stream during Audible Manager installation,
then choose the Add New Device option.
. You will then be asked to connect to the Internet so Audible Manager can
update necessary components. Select the YES button to proceed.
. Audible Manager will then present a list of possible devices. Arrow down
the list to Victor Reader Stream and select it. Then tab to the OK button
and
activate it.
. Audible Manager will download the plug-in for the Stream and then ask to
close Audible Manager to install the plug-in on your computer. Select the OK
button.
. Audible Manager will then close and reopen.
. Again open the Device menu and choose the option to activate your device.
. Audible Manager will prompt you to enter your Audible Username and
password. Then press the OK button to activate your Stream's SD card.
. Note that Audible refers to the Stream device as Humanwre VR Stream. The
incorrect spelling of HumanWare is because there is a maximum of 8
characters
for the USB device company name.
. After you press OK the SD card should become activated. You can verify
this because there will be a folder named $VRAudible on your SD card and a
file
named AudibleActivation.sys in that folder. Note that this is a system file
and will not appear unless your Windows folder options are set to show
hidden
system files. However, you do not need to change your folder options as this
will not affect use of Audible. If the $VRAudible folder is created then
likely
the Activation file is there.
list end
Q. Can I use more than one SD card for Audible books on the Stream?
A. Yes. If you need to use a second SD card for Audible simply repeat the
above procedure or create a $VRAudible folder on the second card and copy
the
AudibleActivation.sys file to it.

out the SD card, put it back in, and tried again. i have done that and have
got the same result. they now suggest i reactivate victor, i don't know how
to do that, and didn't do it in the first place, but just followed the
procedure for transfering audible books. if anyone can help, it would be
appreciated. i used to belong to a victor stream user list, but i seem to
have lost the link, and don't know how to get back to the list. brian.
