authorization error

[bbbland]

I receive this error on one computer every time I try to authorize it. No problem on another one and both have the same operating systems. E_AUTH_NOT-READY. I have reinstalled the software. Solution?

Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.

Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.

Try completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).

Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your Adobe ID.
