I am trying to download a new ebook that I bought on ebook.de (already did it before and never had problem) and this error message appears "ADE could not connect to the obtention server. Make sure you are connected to internet". I am connected to internet and my connection is quite good... I have no idea how to fix this problem. Can someone help me?

    Hello,

    Quickly you can do a check.

    Open your browser

    Type URL: https://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/Status

    Press enter

    You should see something like:

    If it says "UP", this indicates ADE will be able to contact activation server.

    If not, then, maybe firewall is causing you this issue.

    Thanks
