I do not have the "Erase Authorization" option.  Just "Authorization Information."  When I click on that it says computer already authorized and shows my default account.  I have uninstalled and tried to reinstall under a different account but it keeps setting it up under my original account....and back to the "Error-Check Activation" message when I try to download a book.  I do have an "Authorize Computer" option that is grayed out and I cannot click on.

I am getting the Error Check Activation message but when I try to erase authorization it says, "Unable to erase authorization. Please try after some time."  It's been almost 2 weeks.

If due to some reason, you are unable to deauthorize ADE, follow the below steps:

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

ADE will be deauthorized now.

Now Authorize ADE again.

Windows:

Choose Start > Run.

In the Open text box, type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.

In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept

Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.

In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.

Your authorization will be deleted.

ADE will be deauthorized now.

Now Authorize ADE again.

ADE will not allow me to delete  authorizization either??? Nor will it 'authorize' my ereader (KOBO GLO). In this case, I continue to get the 'check activation error' message????
