Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem:

    I am getting the same error on an IPad Pro 2021.  Is it outlandish for me to get your advice for this same problem on an IPad?

        quit Adobe Digital Editions.

        Navigate to /Users/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

        If you are using 10.7 and higher, see https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html

        Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.
