I've been using ADE for years with my Kobo touch. I received a new Kobo Glo for Christmas but I cant seem to transfer books to the ereader as it keeps saying CE_COPY_NOT_ALLOWED No permission to copy the book. When I look at others with the same issue, the support asked if the reader is auth as well... how do you do that?

    My problem is fixed by setting the compatibility of the Adobe Digital Eiditions to Win XP SP3. I don't know if it can work for you. But I think it is worth trying.

    How do you set the compatibility of ADE to Win XP SP3?  I have ben copying library books to my Kobo for years and suddenly this happened.

      1. I managed to fix this problem by downloading the book again.

      2. I still cannot read. In spite of having followed the instructions (deauthorise/reuthororise) on Kobo website. The book cannot be opened because the device is not authorised. Kobo claims it is an ADE problem and suggests installing an older version of ADE. On the other hand, I have read many books using the current version.

        It is actually more complicated than that.

        I downloaded a second (random) book to test. All worked perfectly well, but the first book still would not open on the Kobo (repeat: I had de-authorised and re-authorised both the PC and the Kobo). I concluded the problem was with the file (which is what ADE or Kobo, cannot recall which, suggested) and wrote a longish message to the library asking them to refresh the file. As soon as I sent the message, the book became readable.

        My feeling is that there is a problem with my Kobo. It does do strange things from time to time, unlike the first one I had (that I gave to my wife so I can buy the Glo and read in the dark).

        Conclusion: still have no real idea.

        I am finding something similar and it's only with books from the library. I notice that when they download, they are ascm in the download file. Most purchased books from kobo download as URLLinks and I don't have this problem with those. This has only been a problem since recently. I did not have this issue before. I've had the same reader for several years.

        Hello Nanaky,

        i have the same problem. I have ADE and Kobo Glo authorized with the same ADOBE ID. Since the last download of E-books, it doesn´t work.

        What to do?
