I am unable to authorize my computer in Adobe Digital Editions. Can someone help me?

[waldemars20275933]

After I fill in my AdobeID and password I receive: "Connection Error. Digital Editions could not connect to the activation server. Please make sure you are connected to the Internet. To retry click Try Again button". Of course I am connected to the internet, my Adobe ID and password are correct. I am using Windows Vista, tried on Mozilla and Chrome browsers. Is there any way to autorize my laptop?

Which Version of Digital Edition do you used?

[waldemars20275933]

The newest, ADE 4.5. Do you think it would be better if I install the older version?

[Nanaky]

Try it with the Version 3.0: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_3.0_Installer.exe

Windows VISTA its to old for the newst Version.

This problem occurs with ADE 4.5 version.

What you can do is to download and install ADE 3.0, the link is here: Download | Adobe Digital Editions Home 

Make sure that you have install both version 3 and 4.5

Open version 3 and authorise with your Adobe ID. It should be able to overcome the activation server issues.

Open a ebook with it and then close ADE 3 and uninstall the software.

Open ADE 4.5 and you will see the ebook in it, and the software is already authorised by itself.

But you will not be able to download and open subsequent ebook under ADE 4.5, unless you follow the below instructions.

Now the trick is to make sure that when you download the next ebook, associate it with ADE 4.5 (because by default, the computer will

use ADE 3 to open it. You can associate it from the program folder, under Adobe/ADE 4.5, look for the AdobeEditions.exe file.

Subsequently, there is no need to associate it anymore.
