I have Adobbe Digital Editions 2.0 on my dekstop computer. I am trying to authorize it (Ctrl-Shift-U), but for the past two weeks I have been getting this as an error message:

"

Activation server error

code: E_AUTH_NOT_READY

Digital Editions encountered an error on the activation server.

"

I have tried setting up new Adobe IDs and have even tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Adobe Digital Editions.

I had a similar problem and this worked for me (the IE assistance came from a helpful person in the forum)

  • uninstall ALL versions of Adobe digital editions (I tried v1.7, 2 and 3!)
  • use INTERNET EXPLORER to download ADE v 3.
  • DISABLE windows firewall BEFORE installing ADE3.
  • Install ADE 3 and I found I could then aauthorize my computer using help>authorize computer in the ADE menu.
  • Re-download e-book (because previous downloads had expired), and I was able to open my ebook.
