Check activation error

I keep getting am error Check Activation! message when I try to load a book into Digital Editions 3.0. My computer shows to be authorized with my Adode ID. What seems to be problem?

I am having the same issue, have de-authorized and re-authorized several times. Cannot seem to get Customer Care to respond in their "24/7" chat. Really getting annoyed!
+UPDATE+ I fixed it, I uninstalled ADE 4.0 and installed ADE 3.0
After deauthorizing my computer (again) and reauthorizing it, the program allowed me to download my books.

I am not able to download an ebook to my PC. I have windows 7 x64. I get a "Check Activation" error. The question is that I have 2 Adobe users. I have the ebooks associated to one of them but every time I download Adobe Digital Editions, independently from what user I download it, it always create the Adobe Digital Editions associated to the worng user. If I try to delete the Authoritation it says that it is nor posible and recommneds me to try later, but I never get it.

This is a user-to-user forum, and although Adobe staff make occasional appearances here, there is no guarantee that you will get any "officila" Adobe feedback.
If you have difficulties to install the online installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, then download the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe; save it to disk, then run it after closing all browser windows.

Check Activation Error Message

I get this when I try to download from Overdrive to ADE 2.0, How do I activate??

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.

Check activation error message is popped up every time I try open a book.

I tried using both 3.0 and 4.0 version in my windows 8.1 HP laptop. Doesn't work. What could be the solution?

I had the same problem after upgrading to Digital Editions 4.0 on Windows 8.1. I could open books purchased previous to upgrading but not those purchased after upgrading to 4.0. I resolved this by de-authorizing and then authorizing Digital Editions 4.0.

When i try to down load a book from the library i get a error that reads check activation only for overdrive not for 3m cloud

i am having trouble downloading books from the library i get a check activation error when using overdrive

Error! Check Activation and Can't Delete Authorization, getting "Please try after some time"

Hello,
I am getting "Error! Check Activation" error message when I try to download epub from acsm file. I found that I should erase and re-authorize. When I try to erase authorization I get, "Please try after some time."
I need a solution.
Thanks.

try this
I can't de authorize my computer. It just keeps saying to try again later.

Windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
(If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
(If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
I hope it helps.

Can't add .ACSM files to ADE, message: "Error! Check activation"

I am using Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3 with a NOOK Simple Touch, running on a 64-bit 2009 Windows 7 machine. Recently I have been unable to download my library ebooks to my Nook. The electronic library I am using (a derivative of Overdrive, I think) only allows the download of books in the .acsm format. However, recently, I am unable to open the books in ADE. Instead, the only option I have is Adobe Reader. When I select the 'Browse' option and choose ADE and hit 'OK', nothing happens and it doesn't show up as an option. When I try and manually add a file to my ADE library, I get an error message saying 'Error! Check Activation". The only thing I even got halfway working was when I downloaded ADE 1.7.2. I got the .acsm files into the library (still, I had to add them all manually through the ADE interface). However, my NOOK will not open these files, even when using ADE 1.7.2. These are the things I have tried:
-Downloading an e-book (in .acsm format) from the Digital Editions free book selections. Same issue
-downloading and redownloading Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3 (and removing the other program)
-Downloading and redownloading Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 (and removing the other program)
-Deauthorizing ADE (Every time it just says "Unable to erase authorization. Please try again after some time.")
-Adding a book in ADE 1.7.2, getting ADE 4.0.3, transferring the book to the newer software, deleting 1.7.2, and syncing my nook with 4.0.3. Nook says it's not authorized
-Doing a factory reset of my NOOK
-Unblocking the .acsm files by going to Properties>General
-TRYING (and failing) to automatically associate .acsm files with Adobe Digital Editions. Like trying to open a downloaded file with ADE, I get no response when I browse and select i
(SIDE NOTE: my Adobe IDs all match. I know that is also not the issue).
I think the issue here is that something is preventing .acsm files from opening in ADE, and nothing in particular is wrong with my NOOK. My only guess (which is probably misguided) is that Windows can't process my request for ADE to be the program to open .acsm files because it's in the x86 program files folder and not the default Program files folder. I've never heard of that being a problem but I can't think of another reason.
If anyone has any ideas, please give them to me. I am actually typing all this for my grandmother, and she is going crazy without her library books.

On the deactivation issue- I just had a similar issue where I could not deactivate and had to manually deactivate by deleting the activation information from Windows registry. That might help you as well.

Or if you are more computer savvy, simply close Adobe Digital Editions and then delete this registry key:

"Error! Check Activation" Regular solutions not working- details in post

I am on a new laptop running Windows 8.1 and am setting up ADE on it. I get "Error! Check Activation." whenever I try and open an overdrive public library book. The computer is authorized and running a licensed set of CS5 Creative Suite software as well which has no issues. When I try to deauthorize and reauthorize, I get the error, "Unable to Erase Authorization. Please after some time." It has said this for three days. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalled ADE4.0. I have tried using ADE 3.0. Still didn't work, uninstalled, and reinstalled 4.0. Google suggested going into the registry and deleting the Adept>Authorization, however it will not allow deletion and I do not know if further tinkering it will affect my creative suite software. I have deauthorized my previous laptop, and reauthorized it, but now get bad ID errors when trying to download new books, and cannot return old ones on that machine now, which means I can't use that as a workaround in the meantime. Earlier I did install the overdrive console for Windows 8 by mistake, rather than the windows desktop version, and proceeded to download a few of the books using that. It has since been uninstalled, but might this have caused the issues?
Any ideas as to what may solve my problem?

Error! Check Activation.

I purchased an eBook from Books-a-Million and downloaded it. When I try to open it with Adobe Digital Editions, I get a message that reads, "Error! Check Activation."

Have you registered your AdobeID with your version of ADE2.0?
If you had a previous version of ADE (even an uninstalled one) it is possible that ADE has got into a confused state with registration.
Try to deregister whatever it has, using ctrl-shift-D (cmd-shift-D on Mac) in Library view.
The restart ADE, and reregister with menu/Library/Authorize Computer.
~~~
I have had lots of problems with v2.0, so quite understand you might what to try 1.7.2 again.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

New PC with ADE 4 activated with existing adobe ID, all books won't open with Error! Check Activation

Hi
I have recently bought a new PC with windows 7 and have installed Adobe Digital Editions v4.0.3
I authorized the computer using my existing adobe ID, the same one used on my old PC that ran windows XP.
I cannot seem to open any ebooks (files with the .acsm extension) or add them to the library. I get this unhelpful little error dialog:
Error! Check Activation.
I have tried to deactivate the computer (in order to retry activation), but that fails too with the error:
Unable to Erase Authorization. Please try after some time.
Please Adobe.... why does nothing work????

Ok so, I finally managed to remove the failed activation and then I reactivated after which I could read the ebook.
I used this method here: I can't de authorize my computer. It just keeps saying to try again later.
to deactivate, and then repeated the activation process.
Adobe, surely many many people have this problem with a new install, and to have to resort to editing the registry in order to fix it is just madness.
Why does the activation fail the first time, and why then does deactivation also fail? PLEASE FIX YOUR PRODUCTS.

Error! Check Activation. What do I do?

Hi, I have installed ADE v3 with Firefox. I have authorized my computer and my e-reader. When I try to load books, I get "Error! Check Activation." Anyone else have same problem?

Select Erase Authorization.
Click OK and quit Adobe Digital Editions.
Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize. [Help->Authorize Computer]
Windows:
