When I attempt to open a .ACSM file Digital Editions gives me "Error! Check Activation."

Apr 23, 2014 Apr 23, 2014

I'v tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Digital Editions (both v2.0 and v3.0) with same result.  I have receintly had a hard disk crash and this is the first time I've used Digital Editions since I've restored from backup onto a new hard dirve.  Any ideas?

Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html)
