Adobe Activation Error: 256

What can I do to resolve this error message? I'm trying to activate, so I can read library books on my iPad through Overdrive. I did the Overdrive update and since then it has issues with my Adobe digital. I originally was getting the "ASC4 License Initialization Error:-1001" message every time i tried to download a book so I Deauthorized Adobe on my iPad then tried to Reauthorize and now I'm getting the error 256 message.
Any help would be great.u appreciated!

Libraries have what I'll call a direct download approach via Overdrive.
That is to say the destination device is hooked up to the network, and the
ebooks are downloaded to that device.
You can consult with your library's technical support function to determine
how to hook up your iPad to their system directly. If they say they can't
do that because of technical reasons - or because of software reasons -,
then we'll have to use an intermediate computer (a Windows PC or a MAC),
download the ebook to that device, and then use other software to transfer
it to your iPad. In the Windows world, the best way to do that is to use
iTunes to do the transfer. I am not a MAC guru, but I think that it's
pretty easy to hook the iPad to the MAC.
Hope this helps!

3M App - Adobe Activation Error message - Cannot download ebooks

Please Help Me, Im really missing my eBooks!!
Adobe Activation Error Message is displayed when I select an ebook (that is already checked out and in "my books") to download onto my device so i can read it. Message says "You have reached your activation limit. you cannot read eBooks on this device until an activation is released from another device"
Thru chat and phone I have contacted adobe customer care twice already, the first time they helped me get ebooks downloading in 3M onto my desktop, but my android phone is where i need to download ebooks.! The second guy told me he cant do anything else becuz my Adobe ID is showing 4 remaining activations and he cant reset any activations untili am at the max limit of 6 devices... HELP! I have used 3M on 6 devices but i no longer have access to 4 of them.

It is puzzling that the customer care rep said you have 4 remaining device activations on your Adobe ID, but the 3M app said you reached the limit.
Do you have a second Adobe ID or perhaps a 3M ID that you have used in the past? Adobe supports account joining, which allows you to activate a device with multiple IDs (Adobe or third-party), so that you can read books purchased under multiple accounts on a single device.
It's possible that your Adobe ID has 4 remaining activations but that it is joined to another account which has 0 remaining.
You can check if your Adobe ID is joined to another account at Adobe Account Synchronization.
If you do find a second account, you might be able to work around this by having a customer care rep reset the activations for the second account.

Adobe Activation error I bought a used CS2 application with serial numbers: it loads fine and works, but I cannot activate it and it will run out in 26 days. I bought it on ebat for 40 dollars. I am willing to pay a royalty fee. In 2006, or so, I bought a student version of CS2 at the College bookstore legally and registered it and it is still running on my 2002 eMac, but my Mac cannot communicate with my wireless printer I just got. So I looked for a copy of CS2 to put on my second hand IBM PC.

Adobe Activation Error

I have an old copy of Adobe CS1 on an old PC. I need that PC to hang on a little longer until I can get a new one and install CC on it. I already have a 1 year Adobe CC subscription.
That old PC crashed and is now getting an activation error. I need a code to get it working again until I can afford a new PC.

I am trying to download an epub book from the library, which I have been doing for almost a year. Now I am being asked for my adobe id, which I enter and I get an error message stating Adobe Activation Request Error:2004.. What's this ?

I downloaded Blue Fire Reader and it requested an adobe id. I clicked on the link that was in the error message stated http//adeactivateadobe.com. Found out that if the date and time on my Ipad is wrong that it won't let me download a book. I was off 5 hours. I reset my clock settings and adobe id let me download a book from the library. I am back to using Overdrive and adobe again on my ipad.
Thank you.

Adobe Active File Monitor V12 will not start/ program crashes & other errors

I have recently installed Version 12 of Photoshop Elements on Windows XP Pro (service pack 3).
If I try to specify "Watched Folders" PE tells me to start the Adobe Active File Monitor in Admin Tools - Services.
If I try to manually start this service it reports that:
"Could not start the Adobe Active File Monitor V12 service on local computer Error 1067. The process terminated unexpectedly"
If I look at the Event Viewer in XP there are numerous errors reporting that this service has attempted to start automatically with the following error:

In addition the Photoshop Organiser crashes frequently and If I edit a picture and save it to the stack, it does not appear in the catalogue so I have to manually get the picture and stack it with the original. I assume that these problems are related to the above problem.
My original installation co-existed with Version 3 so I uninstalled this old version then uninstaled and reinstalled version 12. This made no difference to the problem.
Any ideas on this problem?

Thanks for that suggestion Michel.
Killing the AutoAnalyzer using these instructions (http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/31/the-elements-12-auto-analyzer-adobes-evil-undead/doe s ) does seem to have solved the problem of edited pictures not being saved to the stack - although I have noticed that since disabling the autoanalyzer, when saving a file, the editor almost always now does not display the option window which allows you to choose if you want to save with the stack etc. It usually only shows the JPEG quality selector window.
Its too early for me to say if making this change has reduced the frequency of crashes but it certainly has not solved the problem with the Watched Folders so Im still looking for a solution to this one.

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.

Adobe DRM Activator error (server code 24)

I updated to the most recent version of digital editions, but uninstalled it due to the fact that it does not support Palm.
I reinstalled the old version of Adobe Reader 7.0. All of my ebooks show up, but when I try to transfer my ebooks to my Palm I receive an error message stating:
Your Adobe software cannot be activated.
A bad session ID was used in the header.
Eden Info: (0x18) A bad session ID was used in the header.
Soap Info: Client: A A bad session ID was used in the header.
Adobe DRM Activator error (server code 24).
Fault location: 12
Contact customer support.
The knowledge base states that Adobe is aware of this issue and I have to contact support.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the program a couple of times but I had the same error message.
I have open two open web cases (#0180655783 on 1/8/09 and #0201592044 on 12/22/09). They both state: "open pending response from Adobe", but I can't get a response (although my case do note that they have been updated???).
When I contacted Adobe via phone they informed me that I could only get assistance by opening a web case. I was assured that I would get a response within 24 Hours! What a bunch of crap!
I really have to have access to my ebooks. I have quite a lot of money invested in books that I cannot access. Some of them I need
for school.
Please HELP!

well I'm guessing this isn't a question about Adobe Digital Editions 1.5.. I'm guessing your using some older version of Acrobat Reader, yes?
Please post your ebook reader version, and also do you happen to have a Palm device?

Hello,
what concerns your wish about an uinstaller, so you should use
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html >>> AND note this "Read before you download a CS3 product". And esp, "You need your CS3 serial number to complete the installation" but this shouldn't be a problem for you, because you had an official version and so you can use all these informations like https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

Adobe DRM Activator error (client code 31); HTTP code 404. Fault location: 15

dear all,
a few years ago I installed and configured Adobe Digital Editions. I bought some ebooks as well. Meanwhile I have switched my computer. And today I discovered my ebooks. I clicked on them and the system tells me that I have to install ADE and to activate the computer. So I successfully downloaded ADE installed it and activeated it.
ADE immediately shows me all the books I bought years ago. Then I clicked on the books I wanted to read. A window popped up which told me that the book is no more available - due to a changed path. I found no possibility to change an existing ADE configuration.
I opened ADE and added a book I bought by opening the option to add a file and openend the ebook on its new location. The ebook was loaded, authorized and I could read it. Clever - I thought. Thats the way to clean up my library. First lets delete all the ebooks in the library with the broken location. Afterwards lets add it via the option to add ebooks. Thats what I did. I deleted all the ebooks first. Afterwards I wanted to add all the books like I already did it with the first one. But - I no more could do that!
This is what I get:
Your Adobe software could not be activated. HTTP error on Adobe DRM Activator request. Adobe DRM Activator error (client code 31); HTTP code 404. Fault location: 15
Does this mean that ADE server does no more authorize my bought ebooks after I had deleted the broken-link-ones from my library?
I hope not ! - This would be awfull - all my books would be gone !!
I hope someone could follow my problem description and hope that there is a simple solution for that.
Thanks,
D.

Adobe DRM Activator error Client Code: 31 - HTTP Code: 500

a few years ago I bought a "C++ Primer" programming book from Amazon. The book is no longer downloadable from Amazon... the DRM version has gone to some other DRM format. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST DIGITAL DRM BOOK.
I have not been able to read it although I shelled out a whoppy $45.00 USD. Adobe Digital Edition is stupid and find it awkward to use. I found one copy of the book on my old laptop that appears to be not corrupt. I'm now trying to read it from my desktop (its a 23 inch screen. Adobe suppport SUCKS, I've been at trying to open this DRM book for several Years now. The last time ADE kept kicking back "No internet connection" when I clearly have a one.
Now I'm getting this error pasted from ADE after adding the book to my library (<---stupid term for this but it is what it is). I JUST WANT TO OPEN THE BOOK I PAID FOR. I'm suppose to be able to open this book on SIX different PCs...WTF

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.

System 7, code 31 is always a networking problem. Meaning something on your network is preventing the book information from getting to the rights-management server (or from the rights-management information getting sent back)
You can check firewalls, security software, etc to see where the blockage might be, or work with your network admins if you have them. See 'Error "Adobe DRM Error" when you activate Digital Editions or access an eBook" at http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402747
