Activating Adobe Digital Editions with my ID

It has been several years since I first started to use Adobe Digital Editions.  I'm almost certain that I started with an ID immediately, but I need to figure out whether I activated the computer with an ID because I would like to purchase a book and read it on more than one machine.  According to this http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-editions/faq.html , books that are are purchased are available on more than one computer.  Can anyone help me figure this out?  Thanks!

  • Cannot sync Adobe digital edition with kobo

    I get an error message E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY

    Marie, if you are still having the problem, I was able to fix it by resetting my Kobo to factory settings with some help from another post.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3371268#3371268
    - deauthorize my Kobo in Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) using Ctrl-Shift-E
    - remove the My Documents\My Digital Editions folder from my computer (I saved it in another location)
      WARNING: backup your books if you need to. I didn't care myself since I could redownload.
    - remove the G:\Digital Editions and G:\.adobe-digital-editions folders from my Kobo (G: is the drive my Kobo uses on my computer).
    - unplug the Kobo
    - reset the Kobo to factory settings via the Settings->Advanced choice in the Kobo menu.
    - plugin the Kobo, authorize it to my  Adobe ID (same as used on computer)

  • How do I open a library book on a recently acquired Samsung Nook?  I get "too many activations" error. I have an active adobe digital editions and my other devices work fine.  Custumer Support was unable to get the new device activated.

    I have a library book on the bookshelf of a newly acquired Samsung Nook but I cannot open it.  My other devices work fine but I cannot activate the new unit.  I get a "too many activations" error message.  Customer Services say I have a valid license but they deemed my problem to be a technical issue and referred me to the forum.  Thanks

    Step 1 - by trial and error...
    So far, I have been able to create physical files containing MP3 and JPG on the NAS using the Windows XP systems to copy from shared locations on the Vista and Win7 boxes.  This process has been aided by the use of a 600 GB SATA 2 capable hard drive enclosure.  I first attach to Win 7 or Win Vista and reboot to see the local drive spaces formatted on the portable device.  Then I copy files from the user's private directories to the public drive space.  When the portable drive is wired to an XP box, I can use Windows to move the files from the portable device to the NAS without any of the more advanced file attributes being copied to the NAS.  Once the files are on the NAS, I can add the new folder(s) to iTunes on any of the computers and voila, the data becomes sharable via iTunes.  So far, this works for anything that I have completely purchased, or for MP3's I made from the AIC files created when I purchased alblums via iTunes. 
    I have three huge boxes full of vynl records I've accumulated.  The ones that I've successfully digitized via a turntable attached to the sound card on one of my computers and third party software, have found their way to the NAS after being imported into iTunes and using it to bring down available album art work.  In general I've been reasonably well pleased with the sound quality of digital MP3 files created this way, but the software I've been using sometimes has serious problems automatically separating individual songs from the album tracks and re-converting "one at a time" isn't very efficient.

  • Problems with Adobe digital editions

    I tried to authorize Adobe digital edition in my new Tablet, but I received an error message, so I decided to authorize with another personal email account. Now, the problem is that I can not download those books I had bought previously. How can I reauthorize Adobe digital edition with my previous email? How can I avoid the error message I received when I tried to authorize with that email?

    You must use your original Adobe account to real books bought and downloaded while using that account.
    I'm a but confused by I tried to authorize Adobe digital edition in my new Tablet, ADE does not run on any tablet except a full Windows 8 tablet.
    What id you try to authorize? (1) ADE running on a Windows 8 tablet, (2) an app running on a normal tablet, or (3) ADE itselft running on a computer.
    In any case, you must deauthorize the new ID, and then reauthorize with your original ID.
    On ADE, the deauthorization is ctrl-shift-D (cmd-shift-D on Mac).  If you can't reauthorize with your original ID, post detailks and the message you get when trying.
    For a tablet app, see help for that app for deauthorization/reauthorization.

  • Opened adobe digital edition anonymously and now can't use book on other computer

    I didn't realise I needed to open adobe digital editions with my name in order to access the book I purchased from more than one device. How can I remedy this situation? the publisher is not being overly helpful

    This is a vicious trap that Adobe lays for unsuspecting customers.
    When you register 'without ID', ADE creates an anonymous/implicit ID with limited powers (eg can't be used to share with other devices).
    Whenever you first load a DRM book, that copy of the book is associated with whatever ID the computer is registered to at the time.
    Any book you load while this anonymous ID is active gets associated with that ID, and can't be read on any other device.
    When you properly register your computer with a real ID, that old anonymous ID is lost.
    Now you don't have any devices that can read the book.
    The only way I know round this is to use a DRM stripper such as epubee BEFORE you deauthorize the device.
    I do NOT advocate using such code to get around the valid limitations placed on a DRM book.
    However, where the problem arises only because of the ineptness of Adobe's ADEPT DRM infrastructure and its implementation,
    such a measure is totally justifiable.

  • Adobe Digital Editions v4.0 Error: Check Activation on Windows 8

    This isn't a question but a solution that I found to an issue that I hope will help others. I couldn't find a discussion board on this so I'm creating a new one.
    I started getting the error message, "Error: Check Activation" when I was trying to download ebooks on my Windows 8 PC. I noticed this was problem for 2.0 as well, and when I tried to erase authorization and reauthorize (which seemed to be the way to fix the problem) it wouldn't allow me to. Then I tried to uninstall and reinstall which didn't work. Then I found the page for if you were having trouble installing ADE. I didn't really have problems with that part but I figured I would give it a try.
    One this page, it says to "manually" install the program (which involves downloading the actual zip file and going through that). I did this and it fixed everything! I was able to erase the authorization and reauthorize after this.
    I figured I would put this out there so that others might find it useful. I don't know this is specifically a Windows 8 problem or a v4.0 problem or what, but I would suggest trying to "manually" install the program before doing any of the other super complicated fixes that I came across and was scared to try.

    ok, follow the below steps as listed.
    1. Quit ADE.
    2. Choose Start > Search for regedit
    3. Right click on regedit, ans select "Run as admininstrator"
    4.In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept
    5. Select Adept key, right click on it and select "Delete"
    6. In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.
    7. Close the Registry Editor.
    8. Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.
    Hope this works !!
