        quit Adobe Digital Editions.

        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 https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html

        Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.

    This did not work for me unfortunately. It still came up with the same error.
