ADE Activation & Adobe ID Problem

Please help...
I too am one of those who bought a Sony Digital Reader for Christmas thinking that by moving to EPub format I might avoid all the problems that have plagued me with ADE and its repeated activation requests.  Now I find that you just can't get away from DRM and ADE, even with the new digital reader products becoming available, so I am stuck with trying to get ADE (and now my Sony Reader) to work.
My problem is two-fold, i.e., (1) I have exceeded my limit on activation requests for ADE and now have a couple of dozen purchased and downloaded books that I can no longer read using ADE, and (2) I have Sony Reader software installed on my computer, but I get an Adobe Authentication Failure message when I try to log in.  Presumably the Adobe ID is different on these even though I used the same e-mail address and password for both.
I have tried repeatedly to get help from both Sony and Adobe (both chat and telephone support), but neither one seems to be able to solve the problem(s).
In desperation, I am turning to this forum, to see whether anyone can help me.  Jim, you have been a great help to many others with this problem.  Can you also assist me?
Thanks,
Kevin
The activation error message is as follows:  E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS http://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/Activate 43:10000:10000 urn:uuid:699159c8-05f4-4b7c-871e-af97929c64c1

My problem is similar.
It seems my adobe ID and Reader are incompatible, because I tried to buy books from the Sony Store and live in Africa, so was unable yo do so. I spent hours on the phone to Sony and think that the Digital Editions management protection is off the reader now (I have not been able to test as I can only get free books) However in trying to offer me a solution I was forced to delete 8 books from Books on Board and 2 from Kobo, which say these are issued to another user. Books on Board suggest I find which ID is registered to my reader and e-mail address and ask Adobe to make them compatible.
I have been offered another solution, but am a bit unsure about it as I am not very computer literate and am scared to get into more of a mess. So I thought i would try an adobe solution first.
Please help as I feel I have wasted hours of time and lots of money on this Christmas gift so far and have managed to read only one book out of 8.
Many thanks
Heather

  • Problem with the product activation adobe acrobat 9 standard.

    I have a problem with the product activation adobe acrobat 9 standard.
    It is a failed hard disk to the pc and was not able to deactivate the license adobe.
    Now I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled the software but it tells me that all licenses are used.
    Is it possible to unlock the licenses in use?
    Thank you.

    Adobe can unlock licenses, this is a normal thing for them to do. You must contact them directly, there is no trick or other way.

  • Activated Adobe Encore CS6 from Production Premium CS6 suite, closes with Trial Expired error

    Good day,
    We have customer owning 10 Adobe Production Premium CS6 packages. And he expiriencing huge problem, after activation, sometimes it was offline cause Workstations were moved from one location to another without internet, and we were forced to process offline activation. After activation all programs activated and starting as it should, but Encore on startup raising error window "Trial Period expired please entere valid serial number to continue" with small OK button in the center, when you press it Encore closes without any additional information or input dialogs or activation. So it's stupid and it's problem, Production Premium CS6 is activated but single package from suite not, but should and i don't see any buttons or options saying activate encore here! or enter valid serial number here!.
    So in such obstacles how to start Encore ? Cause it's bought and customer want to work with it and he can't at all, not even in demo/trial mode.
    Best Regards.

    This is a user to user forum, with the space provided by Adobe, not Adobe support
    Adobe staff RARELY post here, so I think you need to contact Adobe directly
    But, some links that may (or may not) help

    Adobe acrobat activation problem
    September 9, 2013 11:33 AM
    Hello,
    I try to activate adobe acrobat reader 8 on my workstation in windows7 internet and I can not do it because my job is not connected to the internet.
    I have all references: serial number and activation code.
    Response:
    Reader doesn't Activate.  You must have Acrobat Pro 8 or Acrobat Standard 8.  You should contact Adobe Customer Service perhaps the number of activations is exceeded.
    Google Translation of the Response:
    Lecteur ne s'active pas. Vous devez disposer d'Acrobat Pro 8 ou Acrobat Standard 8. Vous devez contacter le service clientèle d'Adobe peut-être le nombre d'activations est dépassée.

    Great help from a nokia forum
    The problem is that companies who are offering a company forum on the internet don't realize that THEY have to get involved too, not only by setting up a forum and leaving the users alone. Unfortunately a lot of companies are doing that, they probably hope that this is the cheapest solution to offer online support for their customers (customer helps customer...). Bad thing to do.
    Well, getting back to your problem: I'm afraid you need to hard reset your phone and try again.
    I have serious problems with the Adobe Reader in the N93 or any other Series 60 3rd Ed. phone too because it doesn't seem to "like" larger files. This seems however to be Adobe's problem, not Nokia's problem. On the other hand I wonder if Nokia ever tested the Adobe Reader in their phones because when I try to open a 3 MB .pdf file, I'm running out of memory.
    Taking a look at the current Nokia products, I can't help to notice a pretty big difference in product/software quality from one phone model to the other. Maybe this has to do something with different development teams working on a phone or another but Nokia's reputation is taking a deep plunge downwards if they don't succeed to increase product and FW quality, even from the start of a new phone.

    Are you trying to say that pointing to your computer in Bridge you get an error message telling you that you need to purge the central Cache?
    If so, go ahead and purge it.
    Your post is not clear at all.  Try rephrasing it, please.
    Also:
    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.

    How can I determine which machines have activated Adobe Acrobat Standard 9?

    Hi jrector3,
    You need to go to the respective machines and launch Acrobat and check if it prompts for serial number.
    You can also go to the help menu and check if 'Deactivate' option is highlighted.

    HI Experts,
    We are trying to perform ADS Configuration from ERP(DEV) system  to SOlman Java. One more thing is we already have ADS connection(GSD) from another ABAP system to Solman Java.
    In GSD,ADS is working fine but in DEV System(2nd ADS connection to Solman) we are getting below error when we execute FP_CHECK_DESTINATION SERVICE but we are able to execute FP_TEST_00 and FP_PDF_TEST_00 reports successfully.
    SYSTEM ERROR : com/adobe.processingexception:Problem accessing data from Destination dest :FP_ICF_DATA_DEV//sap/bc/fp/form/layout/FP_FORM_SECURITY_TEST.XDP?fp-language=DE
    My question is:
    1.Is it possible to create 2 ADS connections to one Java System(in my case GSD,DEV ABAP systems trying to connect to Solman Java system via ADS)?
    2.If yes, please tell us how can we rectify the above issue we are facing.
    We didnt miss anythig from the config guide, thus we are able to config GSD perfectly.

    Hi Sethu
    I rechecked roles and found the below roles assigned to the ADSUSER but not generated. i generated and executed the program FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE and now ADS  setup is perfectly working fine.
    Z_ADS_SAP_BC_FP_ICF
    Z_ADS_SAP_BC_FPADS_ICF
    Z_ADS_SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION
    It was a mistake that i forgot to generate roles after copying from one system to another system.
    my problem is solved.

    Hi,

    Go to T-code "SM59"  -  "RFC Destinations (Display/Maintain)"
    select "HTTP Connections to External Server" - > ADS
    Double click there and check the all the settings " Administrations "  ,  Technical setting , Logon and security , Special option .
    Please check the log on and pass word with the help of your SAP BASIS consultant it will work fine .

  • Com.adobe.processingException : Problem accessing data from destination

    hi guys,
    i have an ECC 6.0 server(db : sql) and i am getting the below error while testing the destination service
    (((com.adobe.processingException:Problem accessing data from destination
    dest: fp_icf_data_isp)))
    i checked rfc connection and it is working fine .
    i dont remember the ADS_AGENT password for checking the user.but i have provided all the required roles for that.
    please guide me to resolve this issue

    Hi
    When you say you checked the rfc are you refering to the one in SM59? The fp_icf_data_isp should be an entry in the visual admin of the server that runs the ADS. In the visual admin under server->services->destinations goto to the http folder and check that there is an entry with that name there. Also the address should be http://<host of abap system>:<abap http port> and the client field and username field should be filled in.
