Can I add  a second account to Adobe Digital Editions

I have two adobe reader accounts. One for my family one for personnel use. The computer has my personnel account on it. I want to add the family account to add books to my wifes nook. Can not seem to find out how to do that

Hi manobird,
If you used one ID to install ADE, you cannot download an ebook from a site into ADE if you used a different ID.  That's the way the Digital
Millenium Copyright Act of 2000 was implemented to prevent unauthorized copying of ematerials.  ADE tells you that in its HELP section.  You can't add a second ID to ADE either, for the same reason.
What you CAN do is to change users, and authorize ADE with the same ID you used when you downloaded the ebook.  You do this by bringing ADE up, then using the CNTLSHIFTD key combination, you will deauthorize ADE.  Close ADE and reopen it, and ADE should ask you to authorize it.  At this point, you can enter the second ID, and ADE will take off from there.  BUT, keep in mind that any other ebooks you downloaded into ADE with the first ID will not be accessible until you go through the same process again and revert to the first ID.
Hope this helps!

  • Can I de-authorize an account on Adobe Digital Editions, or authorize more than one account?

    I have Adobe Digital Editions, and had authorized it to an email account that was hijacked and later deleted.  Now, I want to change to a new account, and it WILL NOT admit that it is possible to do so.  I even tried uninstalling and re-installing Digital Editions, and it still insists that it's authorized to a dead account.
    Can I undo this?  I'd like to check out ebooks through my library, and can't without authorizing Digital Editions to my current email.

    If you don't have any bought books from the old account you still want to use,
    probably easier to make a brand new Adobe account to your current email than to mend the old account.
    ctrl-shift-D should deauthorize the account ADE is currently using.
    If you have devices linked to the old account, use ctrl-shift-E to ADE while the device is plugged in.

  • Can someone help with device authorisation for adobe digital editions?

    This may not be the right forum, I could not find one for Adobe Digital Editions.
    As you can see in the attached image the activation server is not responding. I tried with another email address, same problem. Have reset password on both accounts and still doesn't work.

  • How can I add a second account/screename to my mail (version 2.1.3) ?

    I am in need of adding a second account to my mail.  I have done so with my server (Verizon) but I do not want to get my mail at the Verizon site, but on my computer.  Unfortunately I have no idea how to create this second account.  Can anyone out there help me?

    It's likely the Ports & Autentication...
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

  • How do I add a second Kobo to my Digital Editions?

    My wife already uses Digital Editions for her kobo, and now I have a kobo too, but our computer doesn't recognize mine and so I can't download books from the library, except onto HER kobo. Help!

    Your single license allows you to have two active installations, meaning you can have it installed and enabled on two machines.  You can have the software installed on as many machines as you like, but only two of them can be in an activated state at a given time.
    As far as using the two machines at the same time goes, the jury is currently out on that - I had the question in for clarification but did not get a response yet.  They recently rewrote the license agreement and the portion that explicitly stated you cannot use the two at the same time was either removed or relocated somewhere else that I have yet to find.
    If you mean that you want to have another machine licensed for someone else to use then you need to buy a new license for that other person.

  • Can't copy text from eBook on Adobe Digital Editions

    I was able to copy and paste the text from my eBook, but now it's not working. Any suggestions?

    Hi Richard,
    That's really strange and worth testing.
    Please provide me the exact version of PS found under About PS option. If possible, attach the Photoshop system info file from Help > System Info.
    Also, would suggest to update Yosemite to 10.10.3 and then check.
    Cheers!

    Hey edsonascimento,
    You might need to first deactivate Acrobat from the Help menu on your old machine.
    Then, you can download Acrobat X Pro from the below mentioned link and activate the software (from Help menu) with the same serial key:
    Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X
    Please note that you can activate and run Acrobat software on maximum two machines (say your desktop at work and laptop at home)
    In order to use it on third machine, you need to first deactivate it from any of the old computers.
    Hope this helps.
    regards,
    Anubha
