    When I try to deauthorize, it does not work .  I get the following message(unable to erase authorization, please try after some time).  And when I try again to deauthorize, it just repeats the same message so all you do is go around and around.

    If due to some reason, you are unable to deauthorize ADE, follow the below steps:

    Mac: Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

    ADE will be deauthorized now.

    Now Authorize ADE again.

    Windows:

    Choose Start > Run.

    In the Open text box, type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.

    In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept

    Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.

    In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.

    Your authorization will be deleted.

    ADE will be deauthorized now.

    Now Authorize ADE again.

      I am having the same issue. I can deauthorize and authorize, but when I try to add the book to my Kobo, the following message appears. " Copy Not Allowed, No Permission To Copy"

      For this problem, you need to deauthorize and authorize ADE again.

      Launch ADE

      Help -> Erase authorization.

      ADE will be deauhorized.

      Now again AUTHORIZE ADE

      Help-> authorize computer.

      Error will be fixed !!

      Hi Shreya, I'm also having trouble deauthorizing ADE.  It says my password is wrong.  I've tried what you said above:

      "Mac: Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

      ADE will be deauthorized now.

      Now Authorize ADE again."

      I can't find the activation.dat file.  When I navigate to Users/Library/Application Support/Adobe/  there is no Digital Editions folder.

        Ok, try the following way to access activation.dat:

        1. Go-> Go to folder.

        Go to folder dialog will appear.

        2. Type   ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions

        drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

        Hope this works !!
