    There are other threads on this topic suggesting you de-authorize and authorize anew your computer.

    I cannot even de-authorize my computer; I get the E_AUTH_NOT_READY error.

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling ADE 4.0 to no avail

    Extremely frustrated.

    Please try out the below solution.

    Mac:

      1. Deauthorize ADE. To do so, navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to trash.
      2. Authorize ADE again.

    Windows:

      1. Click Start > Run.
      2. Type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.
      3. In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept
      4. Right-click the Adept key and click Delete.
      5. In the Confirm Key Delete dialog box, click OK. ADE is deauthorized now.
      6. Authorize ADE again.

    Hope this solves your problem

    I also have problems with "authtorization can not be deleted, please try later". I tried to do as suggested above but I have no folder "Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions" and no file activation.dat on my computer (a Mac). What to do?


    OK, I have found the folder Library/Application Support/Adobe. It contains numerous folders about other Adobe applications on the Mac but no folder named "Digital Editions". And when I search the entire computer there is no "activation.dat" file anywhere. I have tried to remove ADI and reinstall it but that did not help. What to do next - any help is appreciated.
