I am unable to open newly purchased ebooks with Digital Editions. Windows XP, SP2, firewall and anti-virus turned off. Not behind any firewall.

Adobe DRM Error
System: 7
State: 4
Class: 5
Code: 31
Message: Your Adobe software could not be activated. HTTP error on Adobe DRM Activator request. Adobe DRM Activator error (client code 31; HTTP code 555).
Fault location: 5

What are my alternatives? I am unable to open these books in Adobe Reader 7.0 or (of course) 8.1.

    Hi,

    In my case, all the books in my library, which I previously read with Adobe digital editions, suddenly cannot be opened now. Newly purchased books cannot be read as well.
    I get this message:

    This looks like there was a communication problem with the Activation server. Can you retry this and see if it happens again? I just pinged the server and it seems to be up. Thanks, Ric
