    Choose Start > Run.

    In the Open text box, type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.

    In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept

    Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.

    In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.

    Your authorization will be deleted.

    ADE will be deauthorized now.

    Now Authorize ADE again.

    Hmmm.   ADR mgt. is a copyright protection code that protects people from borrowing library books and keeping them forever (for example).  You might try de-authorizing and re-authorizing again to see if that helps.  If you purchased a book from Kobo, that's a different problem.  I used to have a Kobo, but here in the US it's hard to get any customer support from that company, so I went back to Nook.  If you can get help from them, that might solve your problem.

    I've tried calling my public library but it's a waste of time, as the technical issues are too idiosyncratic.  And as for Adobe, they have no interest in supporting a product that is free. 

    On the ADR code, sometimes you can return the book and then download again.  That worked for me, ONCE.
