Hello,
My Digital Editions has been running great for years (even across migrations from one PC to another), then suddenly yesterday I could not download any new DRM protected EPUB or PDF files.
I was running Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2.1131
Every time I would get errors like:
Europe_at_War_1939_1945:
IO Error on Network Request.
Please check your network connection and try again.
Network Path:
Event Detail:
Error #2038
--- end ---
So I upgraded to Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3.117585
Still can't download any DRM protected books, but now I get a simple:
"Error! Check Activation"
I have been activated the whole time on both versions.
Please.............. what's wrong?

you can also try below steps:
1. Install ADE 1.7 [Your old version od ADE]
2. Deauthorize ADE [Keyboard shortcut "ctrl+shift+d" for windows or "cmd+shift+d" for mac]
3. Install ADE 4.0.3.117585.
4. Now again AUTHORIZE ADE, Help-> authorize computer.
Hope this works !!

For this problem, you need to deauthorize and authorize ADE again.
Launch ADE
Help -> Erase authorization.
ADE will be deauhorized.
Now again AUTHORIZE ADE
Help-> authorize computer.
Error will be fixed !!

Thanks for your suggestion.
I tried what you suggested. When I de-authorise, I receive:
"Unable to Erase Authorization. Please try after some time."
Now, I did try de-authorising yesterday, numerous times, when I was uninstalling 1.7.2.1131 and installing 4.0.3.117585.
I got the same error then.... at 1.7.2.1131 and 4.0.3.117585.
So this does not look good.
Nevertheless, I will try every now and then for a while, and get back to you.
