In the
Getting Started With ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS 4.5 it is stated:

  • If
    you choose to authorize without an ID, ADE will enable reading of the book only
    on your computer. You will not be able to read it on other eReader devices or
    other computers (or the same computer if you re-install). If you don’t plan on
    moving your books to other computers (or re-installing), this approach will
    work for you.

When I
installed ADE on my PC it was done without an ID authorization. I have tried to
change this to authorization with an ID by using the help function in ADE.

I have
filed in ID and password and then pressed continue but I only get up:

  • You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that has not been
    previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices. Please try
    again

How do I change my computer authorization to
with an ID?

Regards

Christoffer
