Digital Editions

Unable to download library books (EPUB) to ADE. Started 2 days ago with older version of ADE after working fine for years on same PC. Deleted older version and all files and books I could locate on computer. Installed current version of ADE-4.5.2. Still doesn’t work. When I attempt to download a book, get error message –“error! Check activation”. Have tried deactivating Webroot firewall but not helpful.Nothing changed that I know of when problem started--same PC, same ADE, same library source. I appreciate any ideas.

I have searched for an answer and can not find the solution:I have windows 10, if I borrow a digital book from a library, I get "error, check activation:  Please help!I can not seem to solve this problem

I have downloaded ebook into my computer and able to read. Now I am trying to access same book from my iphone and ipad but not able to do. I am able to view the book names in my library in phone and ipad but when I try to open I am getting "Connection Error Detected"-"Digital Editions Could not connect to the fulfillment server. Please make sure you are connected to the internet.".I was able to read book from iphone a month back but now I am trying with different ebook and getting this issue.

We have an issue as follows:1) Our nook froze.2) We were able to unfreeze it but when trying to download books from Overdrive to Digital Editions we started getting the #2038 error.3) After trying various things we unauthorized the computer and reauthorized with a new email address and new Adobe ID.4) We then starting getting the message "error getting license."5) Now we are unable to download or return any books.6) We though the computer would re-interface with the new email and ID.  We log into the Overdrive account with a library card and pin.Is there a way to solve this issue?  Nothing noted in the other forum threads seem to work for us.  We have not entered the registry to try and fix this although we are not sure this will work because the original e-mail address is no longer valid.Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.Wayne and Linda

I, like a lot of folks here, are having issues with ADE and Kobo devices. Specifically having downloaded a Vancouver Library item trying toload it to my Kobo I would get the unauthorized message. This washappening when I would specify that I wanted to open the downloadin ADE.So, just on a whim, I decided to download the file, them manually open inin ADE, then transfer it to my Kobo. This seems to be working for now.Does this help anyone else??Who writes these flaky programs anyway...lolStephen

Now we are unable to download or return any books.

How do I start to use a new account in Adobe Digital Editions 4.5 ?I have an old account hooked up to an e-mail address that is no longer used or accessible. I do not remember the password and can not have a reminder sent to me because the address is no longer accessible. So I started a new account through Adobe Chat Line. I can not figure out how to use the new account e-mail address. Someone help p[lease.

I am unable to open a specific book in ADE. When I attempt to import the file, ADE becomes non-responsive. Yet, when I look in ADE I see the book listed.When clicking onto the book title ADE becomes non-responsive. None of my other books freeze ADE and I have been able to download other books from the same source + open them. So far I have uninstalled/reinstalled ADE, unauthorized/reauthorized my computer, deleted and redownloaded the same file. I noticed that the file extension is being converted to .epub rather than .pdf. in the My Digital Editions folder.

I recently purchased two books in digital format for my thesis project, "The Cambridge Handbook of Psycholinguistics" from ebooks.com and "The Oxford Handbook of Music Psychology" from google play. The problem I'm having is that when I try to open these books on ADE the screen displays the following message: "E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12". I already tried the troubleshooting of both sellers trying to fix this and it won't work, to which they told me I should get assistance directly from you.Thank you.

In ADE the authorized user on my pc and ereader is incorrect.  How do I erase an authorized user from ADE 4.5.2 when I do not have the password for that user.  I am not able to add the correct user as the option is greyed out in the menu.

I have a PDF protected that is a .acsm file. I cannot open it with Overdrive and Adobe Digital Editions.I get a error code. How do I fix this problem?

My library recently converted to a new version of their website (OMNI libraries-Dixon, IL) back in june.  I had the original ADE version downloaded from the 'old' site.  I had no problems with.  Then, with the new site, certain epub books wouldn't download as well into my 2012 version.  Thinking that it was 'too old', I deleted it, and downloaded the 4.5.2 ADE version.  That caused my to lose my 'activation code' for my computer even though the 'authorize computer' is grayed out in the HELP column.  So, I uninstalled this version and installed the ADE 2.0.1 version per my library's contact request.  It still will not let me transfer ebooks from the library to the ADE program.  Here is what it currently does:  when I go to my library account and click on the "loans' folder, I click download for the book that is there. It opens a dialog box that states 'do you want to open or save "....the book's title..to fulfill.contentreserve.com".  Wh

I have been borrowing ebooks from my library for years now and transferring them to my kobo. However, my library recently underwent some major changes and suddenly I was unable to download my books on hold as I keep getting the message "Oops! Unable to open this document which is protected by ADRM and is not currently authorized for use...I use overdrive with my library account and it has always worked before. In reading some of the forums on ADE, they suggested uninstalling the ADE 4.5 I use and install Adobe 3.0. When that didn't work, I tried using a different server to uninstall and reinstall Abobe 3.0. I also tried erasing authorization on my computer and kobo and then reauthorizing them using my Adobe ID log in. Nothing works. I need help in very simple terms as I'm new to this. Appreciate any advice, thanks.

I keep getting a message saying that I can't authorize a device that has already been used on another device.  How do I get 2 computers authorized with the same ID so that I can read books on both computers?

How do I check activation?  By dumb luck, experimentation, deleting authorization, re-authorization, deleting downloaded Overdrive books, downloading them again, I got 4.5 to work.  Still have no clue WHY I started receiving errors on 2.0 that drove me to download 4.5 & delete 2.0 and start messing around.  Cussing didn't help but I felt better.  ADE proves there is no "free lunch" or truly free ADE.  Users must agree to periodic torture sessions on non-helpful help sites.

1) I bought a book2) I downloaded the .acsm file from the site where i bought3) I installed Adobe Digital Edition (for OSX)4) I did the authorization with my Adobe ID5) I did: File > Add to Library > .acms file6) I have the book readable in Adobe Digital Edition, but when I go to the folder I found a .epub file that is corrupt.

I changed my tablet and smartphone. Now I can not read e-boocs with DRM, Acrobat always has the message "Too many activations. How do I solve this problem?

Hello,I ordered the DSM-5 as an ebook from appi.org about 6 months ago. It worked for a while until I had to upgrade to Windows 10. I deleted the book because it wouldn't open in Digital Editions, and I figured I needed to redownload it like I had to with my Kindle books. I redownloaded Digital Editions, AND redownloaded the DSM-5. Digital Editions works with the free ebook downloads, but when I successfully download the DSM and try to open it with Digital Editions, I get a messages that says "Error: Check Activation." I called customer service for appi.org. The lady gave me a new digital ebook free of charge, but I had the same problem. I just dished out another $124 to buy ANOTHER ONE, and it still will not open--but the free ebooks from the same website will open just fine in Digital Editions. I even tried to hit "add to library" to scan my files and pull the downloaded ebook in that way, but when I did that, the digital ebook file that is in my download folder (yes, I'm looking in

I have a Kobo Touch, have successfully downloaded ADE and I am unable to authorize the device to it.  I get the message:"Activation Server Error:  Digital Editions has encountered an error on the activation server"Is there a way to fix this??Thanks

I've used ADE version 2.0 successfully for several years.  Transition to Windows 10 didn't introduce any problems.  Severalmonths after that transition, I've started getting the erros shown above. Any hints? What does that error mean and how do I rectify that problem?

Any ideas?  I tried re-installing the program to no avail?
