    1. quit Adobe Digital Editions.
    2. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.
      If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later.
    3. Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.

      I too had this error and the Adobe chat rep was most unhelpful. I tried deleting the .dat file as per your instructions and then tried to re-authorize, but got the same error as before. I'm using ADE 4.5. Do you have any other suggestions? I'm using a MacBook Air.

      Has you found the File or not? Have you Trash emptied?

      I waited for almost 20 minutes to chat with someone from Adobe and was referred to this forum for help.  Five hours later and I am still no closer to resolving my issue. I was told that a team of highly qualified and knowledgable people ran this forum.  I am still waiting.  Can anyone help me?
