Question

ADE "Error! Check Activation" or simply not working

I tried to download a book to ADE on my authorized computer first. No go. Got the above error. Tried the solution of erasing auth and reauthorizing, but ADE wouldn't let me.

Added ADE to my Samsung Galaxy tab and I downloaded the file, but it won't open.

The file is a weird file: URLLink.acsm

Is it ADE or the file?
