I just downloaded a new version of Adobe Digital Editions.  I also downloaded a book from the library, but when I try to drag & drop it in I get the following Message:  Unable to download Error getting License. License Service Communication Problem  E_ADE

Then I tried to Authorize ADE and got a message You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices.

Help!  I just want to be able to read the book on my Nook e reader.
