I need help! I bought a book (document ending is .acsm) and I'm not able to add it to the library, it says it can't download. "Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY"

So, I was told by Kobo, to deauthorize Adobe Digitial Editions from my macpro, following the steps below:

1) Launch Adobe Digital Editions

2) To Deauthorize the Computer hit Command+Shift+D

​Which I have done but it tells me "Unable to erase authorization. Please try after some time." What should be doing? HELP!
