Adobe Digital Editions authorization [2017]

[Theo71]

I only have one Kobo reader presently authorized for ADE.  At one time I had two.  For some reason, one unit dropped the authorization, and now I cannot reauthorize.  How many units can I authorize with an Adobe ID?  How can I unauthorize that which I cannot see.  And how can i begin to authorize my second unit. When I attempt to authorize I get an error message stating Limit of number of machines authorized for this ID has been reached

You can authoirze 6 devices. Which error message you get exactly?

[29widder]

I need activation reset because I have been trying to fix error downloading books from library and doing factory resets on ereader. I get message “ I have reached maximum # of devices “ when I try to authorize my device but only have one ereader.

In this case should wirte a adobe staff person. (Staff under the name in forum.)

Kobo update and use overdrive direct for liburay works great. Will not fix the Google purchases though

Limit of number of machines allowed per ID reached

this computer cannot be authorized with your ID because you have reached the limit number of computers or devices that can be authorized with the same ID

I am assuming, because I have tried many times, that may be the reason that I have exceeded.  In that case I would need a method to reduce the supposed activations

For the issue should send a staff person a private message (under the name are display Staff).

[Theo71]

I am very new at this and do not know my way around the forum.  where do I find display staff

[29widder · Accepted solution]

I have done that but as of yet received no reply

[Theo71]

I don't know about you, but my authorizations are now working.  As I did not do anything lately, I can only assume that Adobe has done something at their end.  I will never know

[29widder]

Yes hopefully they were monitoring this discussion and did a reset

My authorization is also not working. I have not included new libraries or changed devices. What is the problem?

[wimg15853454]

Ik heb hetzelfde probleem , misschien dat het bij mij ook lukt

Another Sylvie. Same problem. Frustrating. Any news? It seems to be a very common Adobe Digital Editions issue. 

[suzanne344674660u42]

I have all these wonderful books that I have been waiting for and can't read them ! This is ruining my holidays

[Renée30597960xbdy]

Same problem, been spending hours trying to find a solution...

error E AUTH BAD DEVICE KEY

I also have a problem with ADE.

It worked fine up until July 15, 2020. Since then, when I click the PDF link at Archive, nothing happens except that I get an empty new tab. ADE does not start up as it used to. I tried erasing authorization and re-authorizing, to no avail. Running Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron, if that's relevant.

[KipTW]

I've made some progress, though whether it's from my own effort or just randomness is hard to tell. In short, I tried different browsers, and one of them works and lets me download books from Archive again (to the extent that Archive itself permits it, of course, which has changed recently--but that's another story).
