Error, Check Activation?

Guest
Aug 25, 2016 Aug 25, 2016

I am trying to download an ebook from Netgalley, and I have Adobe Digital Editions installed, but when I try to open the book, it tells me "Error! Check Activation". I am logged into Adobe Digital Editions and it's authorized to my computer. Why won't it work.

I already did thsi step ( necessary to de-authorize) but now won;t allow me to authorize my computer.  Says it cannot "connect to fulfillment server" and thinks I am not online (which obviously I AM).

Don;t waste your time with chat.  They have zero clue and cannot help.
