Question

Keep getting E_GOOGLE_DEVICE_LIMIT_REACHED error

Just bought my first book on Google Play and tried to open the ACSM file using ADE but the system kept prompting the E_GOOGLE_DEVICE_LIMIT_REACHED error although I am completely new to ADE. Please help!

    This error occurs because ADE tries to authorize the book using your computer's hardware profile instead of linking it directly to an Adobe ID, causing Google Play to interpret it as an unauthorized device. To fix it, open ADE, press Ctrl+Shift+U (or Cmd+Shift+U on Mac) to deauthorize your computer, restart ADE, and select Help > Authorize peryourhealth login Computer to log in with a free Adobe ID before opening your .acsm file again.
