Adobe digital editions authorization issue

i have been having problems with authorization.  i authorized one of my laptops and could yous the ADE without issues but now i cant authorize my other laptop even after using the Ctrl+Shift+D to de-authorize it on the first one. it just says "please wait your computer is being authorized", its been like that for more than 5hours. i have done it severally and it still says the same thing. what should i do.

You should be able to authorize up to 6 devices (computers, eReaders, tablets) with the same ID at the same time.
But I'm afraid I can't see why the second computer didn't authorize if it was correctly connected to the internet and with no firewall issues.
Are the laptops both running the same operating sytem?
Old XP devices can have problems with ADE2.0, which is somewhat unreliable in other ways too.
Worth trying the older 1.7.2; though I am afraid it probably won't help.
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Adobe Digital Edition Authorization Problem

    I can't authorize my Adobe Digital Edition for my new computer with my Adobe ID because it says that the ID was used and authorized previously to another computer ( which is my old computer, currently crushed and hard disk was damaged, I have no access to the computer anymore). What should I do now??? If I can't authorize my new computer with the same Id, I can't get access to my previous paid digital books!!!!

  • Adobe Digital Edition authorization problems

    Although I have a newly acquired Adobe ID and password, they are rejected by ADE when I attempt to authorize my computer.  I use "Adobe ID" as the e-book vendor, and then my Adobe ID and password.  When I click "authorize" I get the error message "invalid ID or password for the selected e-book vendor".
    I have checked out  a library e-book from Overdrive and want to transfer the e-book from my PC onto a Kobo e-reader, so that is why I am authorizing my computer. 
    Any suggestions as to how to proceed next?

  • Adobe Digital Editions authorization

    I'mnt' able to authorize Adobe Digital Editions anymore. The message is "Too many activations". I formatted my pc several times and i have this trouble. How can i authotize it again? My ID is [email protected]
    Best regards.

    The problem has nothing to do with your PC.  You have exceeded the number
    of device authorizations allowed by Adobe.  This happens when your ereader
    wants to be authorized every time you access it with Digital Editions - and
    you run out.  You cannot reset this count by yourself - only Adobe can do
    this.
    Contact Adobe in Italy and ask them how you get your authorization counter
    reset.  They should be able to help you..

  • Issue on copyng an e-book from adobe digital editions 2.0 to my pocket book

    The issue is the impossibility to copy an e-book from adobe digital editions 2.0 to my pocket book. In particular, it appears a pop-up with an attention signal in which is written "impossible to write the destination file". How could I solve that issue?
    Thanks

    Modern kobo books should just use regular Adobe DRM and be readable on compatible ereaders that are authorized to the correct Adobe ID.
    I understand older kobo book had different DRM: but I wouldn't expect those to
    When Adobe DRM book information say 'no copying', that generally means no copying outside those Adobe DRM limitations.
    You should be able to copy within the restrictions.  You can double-check that with the sellers (Kobo).
    Just double-checking
    the pocket book is Adobe DRM compatible?
    that you have authorized your pocket book with your current Adobe ID?
    menu/Help/Authorize Device when plugged into ADE:  Library/Authorize Device if using the older more reliable ADE 1.7.2
    If the pocket book is already authorized but to a different ID, you will need to deauthorize it first, ctrl-shift-E to ADE with device plugged in (or cmd-shift-E on Mac).
    Be aware that will lose the ability to read DRM books authorized with the previous ID.

  • Adobe Digital Editions de-authorizations

    I've registered ADE for the limit of six computers and devices, some of which I  no longer own.  Now I'm using a new computer and would like to authorize it.  Is it possible to have Adobe de-authorize all my existing computers/devices so I can update and authorize my new equipment?  Will the books I purchased under the old authorizations be usable if I re-authorize and transfer my  books before de-authorizing?  Thank you!

    There are a lot of users on this forum currently with this exact same problem, some who've even left screenshots of the issue. Definitely is a problem. I've found that for me, the best thing to do was to just manually deactivate using the steps to remove the info from the registry. I linked to the article above, but in case the article moves, here are the steps.

    Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.

  • Adobe Digital Editions won't prompt to authorize e-reader.

    I want to authorize my new Nook WIFI (and my WIFI is down).  I downloaded and installed Adobe Digital Editions, created an Adobe ID and authorized my computer.  I have downloaded books to my computer.  With ADE open, I plugged in my Nook. ADE detects it but DOES NOT ask to activate.  I pressed Ctrl +shift+E.  Unplugged the nook and replugged it.  Under J drive I opened the Nook drive and deleted the file entitled adobe.digital.editions.  I closed it, plugged off, plugged in the nook. (As customer service instructed)  It still does not prompt to authorize. I have dragged books to the Nook in ADE.  I can see the book titles on my reader but when I try to open it: User not activated. Can anyone help me?

    Not sure if you will get an answer if you ask in the ADE forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_digital_editions

  • Authorize computer in Adobe Digital Editions

    Can multiple users authorize one computer on different windows login accounts?  Several family members in our household have adobe IDs + library cards.  When I connect my NOOK color to transfer an ebook within Adobe Digital Editions, it compares the email address registered on my device to the email address authorized within the Adobe Digital Editions (which is my daughter's because we set up her ID first).  Does this limit only one user per computer when downloading ebooks through this software?

  • How to authorize more than one device on my adobe digital editions Ebook reader

    I have a computer, iPhone and iPad, and can't read a downloaded ebook (EPUB) on more than one device  at a time. If I try to open the item on my Overdrive account with a device other than the one I originally used when I downloaded the ebokk,  it gives me an error code "Fullfill  2004. This license has already been fulfilled by another user".  When I contacted Overdrive Media  they explained that I need to contact Adobe to authorize my various devices to have access to my Overdrive account which utilizes Adobe digital editions 4.0
    Please provide info on how to authorize my additional devises to have access to downloaded e-books  on my overdrive account

    Please authorize your devices with same credentials in order to read the book across devices.

  • How to authorize ebook reader in Adobe Digital Editions?

    I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions from the website so that I can borrow ebooks via the public library system.  I was able to authorize my computer, but can't figure out how to authorize by ebook reader (Kobo Touch) - without authorizing the device, I can't transfer the ebooks from my Mac to the Kobo Touch.  Any information on how to authorize the ebook reader would be appreciated!

    Assuming your reader is supported you need to have it connected via usb and turned on prior to launching Adobe Digital Editions.  Once you launch Adobe Digital Editions it will ask to authorize your device.
    If you have additional questions please post your inquiry to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.
