Suddenly, and for no apparent reason, Adobe Digital Editions won't download .ACSM files from my library. When I drag files into Digital Editions, I get the following error message:
Unable to download
Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem:
E AUTH BAD DEVICE KEY OR PKCS12
Can anyone shed light on this? Kind thanks for your help.
