"Activation Server error

(you could google that error for a quick fix.)

1. quit Adobe Digital Editions.

Thanks for your assistance.

I followed the instructions faithfully.  However, the problem remains unchanged.

My PC's operating system is Windows 10 Home (I don't know if this make a difference).

Have you remove the Registry key and then authorize again?

[brunod40304665]

I deleted the registry key.

I did not authorise D.E. because it is already authorised and I cannot de-authorise D.E.

[Nanaky]

When you remove the key its should deautorize. You make it as admin?

[brunod40304665]

I have deleted the Key a few times.

Every time I open D.E. the Key returns to the registry.

I don't understand why or what to do about it.

I am the administrator for my PC.

o.O anything are on you system are wrong. When you remove the key its should not appear alone.
