The error message indicates that there are problems when communicating the server from the vendor with the Adobe server.

    I downloaded one the other day then last night couldn't return it and today can't downloaded a new book. Did yours fix itself or still broken?

    After trying to open the ASCM file a few times a day for several days, it has suddenly just started working again this morning.  I didn't do anything additional since my original attempts (uninstall, deregister, update program, tried different library).  Apparrently it just fixes itself after a few days of frustration.

    Same error. It seems that it happens from time to time. Three days waiting without solution? How long should we wait?

    Same thing.... 

    So frustrating to try to read, and get stuck in the computer for 2 hours. 

    Did anyone find some help fixing the problem or just bought a new reader?

    I had the same problem today. Bought 3 different books ad downloaded them as usual. One is .epub, the other two are .acsm.

    I added them in Adobe Digital Edition version 4.5.10 but I got the following error for the two .acsm ebooks only:

    E_LIC_LICENSE_SIGN_ERROR

    I can't download these two ebooks on my Kobo reader. The other one works as usual.

    Anyone solved this issue?

    The problem was solved today. I think somewhat went wrong with Adobe's server.

    Now the problem is fixed and I can download the new books on the e-reader.

    I hope the same for all the others who had the same issue.
