Question

Can't erase authorization (Mac)

Bought an ebook but can not open URLLink.ascm and keep getting the notification: License server communication problem: E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12

The retailer advised to erase authorization in Adobe Digital Editions. But each time I try, i get the notification that at the moment it is impossible to do this, please try again later.

I've tried time and again. Even restarting Mac as well as ADE.

Please help?
