I keep trying to open 3 ASCM files that I purchased and downloaded from Google Play Books with adobe digital edition. the problem is that I keep getting an authorization error. now before you ask Whenever I click the help tab and try to authorize the computer.
The option is faded. when I try to erase authorization to re-authorize it says unable to Erase authorization. Please try after sometime. I've checked to make sure what I'm putting in for the username and password is correct.
I just signed in to the main website of Adobe with it. When I remove digital editions and re-download it there's no boxes where I have to sign in and authorize it seems to do it automatically. Whatever is wrong seems to render these books unreadable.
Please help because what I'm searching online to rectify the problem seems to hang on the fact that you can go to that help tab and re-authorize Digital editions. I also have acrobat reader DC and it doesn't work there either.
I ve tried to contact customer support and they just sent me here. I'll Paste the transcript below.
