Authorize Multiple Devices?

New Here ,
Apr 04, 2016 Apr 04, 2016

I authorized a first computer Adobe Digital Editions with and Adobe ID. But I cannot seem to authorize a second netbook computer ADE with an Adobe ID in order to transfer books from 2nd device to an ebook reader? How do you authorize multiple devices. You are supposed to be able to do 6. I keep getting error message Cannot authorize with the same ID as used to authorize another device?

Thx.

I have also a question about autorising. I have autorized my ADE on my laptop and now I want to autorise my ereader. But ADE does not read / recognize the device whereas I can that the device is connected to my laptop. I tried several laptops but they all don't show the ereader.

Can someone please help me to autorise my ereader???
