How to obtain an ID for Digital Editions

Question

Hello, at 21:30, 10/06/2014, I downloaded and installed Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 on my Windows 7 laptop in order to read eBooks (on my Sony Xperia Z 4.4.2 android tablet, Samsung Galaxy S3 4.4.2 android phone, and Apple iOS7  iPad 4). The software installed on my laptop without error. I tried to create an ID but my Opera browser generated an error message and '404 page not found'. I tried again to create an ID but Adobe informed me that my email was already in use. I checked my hushmail.com email account and no message from Adobe. It looks like Adobe has created an ID and registered my account but has not issued the ID to my email account. This means I am unable to use Adobe Digital Editions. How do I recover my ID? Is the easiest solution to just create another email account and have the ID sent there? Suggestions and help much appreciated.
By the way, am I right to assume I can use Adobe Digital Editions to send eBooks to android and Apple devices?

Follow Up - I managed to verify my copy of Adobe Digital Editions. The ID required is simply the email used for registering with Adobe. Doh!

What kind of relationship are you trying to set? I'm assuming you're referring to a foreign key constraint? The most straightforward way of doing this is to configure a column in a table to be an identity column. By doing so, when you add a record to the table SQL Server will automatically create a unique value for this column. You can then set this column to be the one-half of your foreign key constraint. As far as getting the value of this column after SQL Server has added the new row, the way I've always done it is by adding a parameter to a stored procedure. Here's an example of a stored procedure that adds a row to a table and returns the value of the identity column for that new record:
 CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spPartNumberProductCode_Add
    @productCode char(3),
    @productName varchar(50),
    @id int OUTPUT
AS
INSERT INTO tblPartNumberProductCode (
    product_code,
    product_name
VALUES (
    @productCode,
    @productName
SET @id = @@IDENTITY
RETURN @@ERROR
GO
The key line is SET @id = @@IDENTITY.
