Question

Have upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10. Have bought an ebook and have it in Digital Editions 2.0.67532. And now ADE 4.5 Digital Editions which recognised my Sony eReader will not now recognise it. The laptop is Authorised without an ID. I have an Adobe ID. I thought authorising with ID might then allow me to sync book from laptop to ereader. When I attempt do so there is a message “Activation Server error

Code: E_AUTH_NOT_Ready

Digital Editions encountered an error on the activation server”
