First, note that, the last time I checked, OpenLibrary's materials are
available only in text-only Daisy format. The key which is used to decrypt
the books is the same one that is used for network library books; different
from the one used for NLS books. When you authorize a third-party player,
you get both keys, so things should work. For Victor Streams purchased
during their first year of production, up to about the spring of 2008, when
you asked to authorize it for NLS playback, you didn't get a network key
along with the NLS key. If you have such an old Stream and you have
authorization problems with OpenLibrary books, you should contact HumanWare
for instructions.

Does this mean that I need a new key?
