"Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY"

Guest
Jan 13, 2016 Jan 13, 2016

When I download a library book, I get the error message "Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY", as well as when I try to authorize my copy of digital editions to my account (in an attempt to deal with this.) I have used it to view ebooks from my college library successfully, though not recently.

Help?

For Macintosh users, how exactly do you navigate to /users//library/application support/Adobe/Digital Editions?

I still cannot get this to work.

I get the same error message. "Error getting license Server communications problem: E_ADEPT_INTERNAL"

I followed the Windows process to remove the registry file etc...

I shut down and reinstalled and went around the loop for about two hours.

I just do not know what to do...

Please help... I have several papers to write this week for University and I'm stuck.

Thank you,

Teresa Aysan

Bless this community for trying to help fellow users out of the muck, and shame on Adobe for leaving its users stranded. For years — years — Digital Editions has been the buggiest, most unstable software program on the planet. The fact that Adobe can't be bothered to fix or rebuild it is a disgrace.

I've tried this several times on Windows. It's not working for me.
