Correct answer shreya

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.

Bonjour,

J'ai téléchargé la nouvelle édition de ADE 4.5.

Mes locations de livres n'arrivent plus dans mes dossiers et à chaque essai d'importation, j'ai une série de messages d'erreur comme E_ACT_NOT_READY ou E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED.

J'ai supprimé l'appli et ai re-téléchargé sans succès.

J'ai effectué la manipulation bibliothèque/application support/adobe/digital edition, mais l'histoire s'arrête à ADOBE. Je n'ai pas de fichier DIGITAL EDITION.

Impossible donc d'effacer l'autorisation d'ADE.

Quequ'un pourrait-il m'aider ? Merci !

Pouvez-vous faire en sorte que je puisse utiliser "Adobe Digital Éditions 4.5.1.2"?

Merci pour votre aide,

Can someone help me with my adobe editions version 4.5.8? I'm on a Mac. When I try and drop a book from the library into Adobe Editions I get the following message:

E_ACT_NOT_READY

I am unable to Unauthorize the account, I've tried and it won't allow me to do it. What now?

If I reauthorize my ADE, will I lose all the books I have saved there? Is there any way I can back them up before I reauthorize? -- All of you who reauthorized, did you lose any saved items? Eleanor

I have the E_ACT_NOT_READY on Win10.

I used Zinstall Pro to move all my applications from my crashed PC's drives to my new laptop. All the other program work except Adobe Digital Edition won't load the only book I purchased - gives the error above. It will load "Getting Started" book.

The options I have under "Help" are

( i) Authorization Information

( ii) Adobe Digital Editions Help - which is useless as they didn't help but sent me here

(iii) Authorize computer -- which won't show anything or turned off.

"Authorization Information" say my laptop is "authorized".

What should I do?

Hope this helps.

A few months ago I changed my Adobe ID and password. Fast forward to now and I'm having the same prob as everyone else. Here's what worked for me:

1. Go to the Finder menu.

2. Hold down the Option key and select Go. This reveals the hidden user library.

3. Select Library.

4. Go to Application Support -> Adobe -> Digital Editions and delete the file named “activation.dat”

5. Now one can reauthorize Adobe Digital Editions.

I tried everything that everyone has suggested (including trashing ADE 4.0 and installing 3.0) and ran into the same problems. Then I spent two hours chatting with an Adobe chat room person who finally gave up on me because my computer skills are those of someone born during World War II. That is probably because I was born during World War II. Then based on I don't know what I de-authorized my computer (not the de-authorize ADE path that has been suggested) and then re-authorized it, and problem solved. I have nothing more to add.

I've the same problem and I also do not have a folder "..Digital Edition". So I cannot put any file into trash. I also try to chat with Adobe an I got the answer that I have to ask the community for that.

Digital Edition is not in the chat support. I really angry. What a support. No one can help and you can not load any book on your computer.

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!
I am using a Mac. I get this same error. HOWEVER, your directions DO NOT work. When I go to "Erase Authorization" I get this message: "Unable to Erase Authorization. Please try after some time."

I have tried several things: completely uninstalled Digital Editions and then Re-installed. Shut down computer. These steps are not working.

How can I erase authorization if it wont let me?

Thanks!
