Cannot load ebook in Adobe Digital Editions on Mac

HELP! I purchased an ebook (PDF) and I'm having trouble using it in Adobe Digital Editions. I receive the following error...
Error getting license
License server communication problem: E_LIC_ALREADY_FULFILLED_BY_ANOTHER_USER
I had been trying to transfer the ebook to my iphone using TXTR but the app can not load the document.
I THINK I may have originally downloaded the ebook to Adobe Digital Editions without authorizing my computer, then when I later authorized it the ebook will no longer load.
Is there a solution. Is the ebook tied to my Adobe ID when I download it. I've tried re-downloading the ebook but I still get the same error. I've also tried removing and reinstalling Adobe Digital Editions.
By the way, I am on a Mac computer.
Thank you for any help you can give.

You can print the book if the publisher has given the print permission.
Can you provide the exact error statement? It will be helpful in understanding the issue.

  • How can I re-activate eBooks in Adobe Digital Editions after changing the mother board of my MacBookPro?

    After changing the mother board of my MacBookPro to fix the video display issue, all my previous eBooks in Adobe Digital Editions cannot be activated. The error message: "Activation Server error - code E_ADEPT_INTERNAL". Please advise what I can do to read my eBooks again?

    Hmm, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I searched my entire drive for "digital editions", and this is the whole thing:
    /Applications/Adobe Digital Editions 3.0.app
    /Users/user/Library/Caches/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app
    /Users/user/Documents/Digital Editions
    /Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
    /private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.bom
    /private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.DigitalEditions.plist
    The application itself, three small files scattered in your user account, to unimportant installation receipt files, and another preference file in the root Library folder. Removing those should remove everything related to version 3, which is what I have installed.
    Where I substituted "user" above (for the three entries of /Users/user/...), replace that with whatever the actual name of your user account is.
    Edit: I double checked the installer using a small app that sorts out every file in an installer, and where each item would normally be installed. The main app is literally the only item in the installer. The receipts are created by the OS per the installer's data, and the other minor preference files are created when the app is first run. There is nothing else.

  • How to transfer an eBook from Adobe Digital Edition to samsung note 2 ?

    How to transfer an eBook from Adobe Digital Edition to samsung note 2 ?

    You will need to install an Adobe DRM compatible app on the samsung, such as Bluefire or Aldiko.
    Then copy books using a file manager (eg Windows Explorer, Mac Finder) to the device as a mounted drive.
    You can't copy from ADE (digital editions) directly as you can for a dedicated eReader device.

  • All ebooks in Adobe Digital Editions Disappeared

    Thought I had lost all my ebooks when I opened Adobe Digital Editions to find a blank library.  For future reference for anyone else who experiences the same, follow this advice:
    Next to 'Library' click on the downwards pointing arrow.
    In the drop down menu click on 'Add item to library' which will open up your 'Documents' folder.
    Open the folder called 'My Digital Editions'
    Select the ebooks you want to restore to your Digital Editions library and click 'open' which will put the ebook(s) back into your library.

    Perhaps my instructions weren't very clear.  If you click on 'Library' in Adobe Digital Editions, which has a little arrow next to it, you will see a drop down menu.  In the drop down menu, click on 'Add item to library Ctrl + O' and the My Digital Editions folder will open.  In this box, select the ebooks you want to restore to your Adobe Digital Editions Library and then click 'open'.  This will restore your ebooks and you will no longer see a black / blank library.
    I re-loaded Digital Editions as well, before I located my ebook files in the 'Documents' folder.  So re-installing the program shouldn't delete your ebooks, they should stay on your computer in your documents folder!

  • Missing and blank pages in my .ascm ebook in Adobe Digital Editions

    Hello,
    I am having some trouble with an ebook I just bought on booktopia.com.au
    Some pages don't seem to be loading. It is not just blank white pages, but no page visible at all in some places, just the grey background of Adobe Digital Editions.
    I found this adobe troubleshooting page which seems very promising:
    Blank pages or missing images when you read digital content (Digital Editions)
    yet when I follow the instructions Adobe Reader 7 is not an option to download, even though that is what this page tells me to do. As it is, I have Adobe Reader XI, but since the file I am having trouble with is an .ascm file, not a .pdf, I don't know how Adobe Reader would help at all.
    I am using Windows 8.1 on a PC.
    If anyone could help me get to the bottom of this, I would be very grateful.

    There might be two parts to the answer.  First, from what you saw, you can
    get ebooks to ADE without the ereader attached.  The ereader might not be
    supported by ADE, and because you've 'been through the steps several
    times', I think that is probably the reason.
    Second, the ebook you're attempting to transfer (which is what I'm reading
    into your wording) may be DRM-protected, and may not be transferrable.  You
    can check this by looking at the Item Info of the ebook.  When you're in
    Library mode, put your cursor on the small arrow next to the ebook name.  A
    drop-down menu will appear, and you can choose 'Item Info' from the list.
    Click on that, and a screen will appear showing you where the ebook is and
    the properties assigned by the publisher to it.  If the 'copy' parameter
    says no, then you have your answer.
    Hope this helps!

  • Does anyone know how to move ePub ebooks from Adobe digital editions to a Kobo?

    Does anyone know how to move ePub ebooks that I've purchased onto my Kobo eReader?  I've tried everything...help from where I bought the books, surfing the net, etc. but even though the book is in the library of my Adobe Digital Editions I can't drag it onto the Kobo library.  The dragging stops at the border of the Adobe site.  I've spent hours and am SO frustrated - hope somebody can help.

    Have you tried contacting Adobe?

  • How do i download an ebook from adobe digital editions to my ipad?

    I have a brand new iPad Air that I want to download some of my ebooks to from Adobe Digital Editions.  However, I can't figure out how to do it, and my ipad user manual doesn't say.  Can you help?
    Thanks!
    Sue

    You just need to sign in to same Adobe Revel account on both the devices - Elements Organizer on PC and Revel App on iPad. Revel app is available for free on MAS so you may download it from there.
    Thanks

  • Problem copying Epub files to Sony 505 for library ebooks using Adobe Digital Editions.

    I am using Adobe Digital Editions to copy library ebooks to my Sony 505 using a Vista Home Premium 64 bit machine.
    Adobe PDF files successfully copy and are readable.
    However, when a subsequent copy is done for any Epub book from the library the previously copied PDF files change
    to proprietary on the 505. They are unreadable and show as one page long.  The Epub book is the only library book that is
    now readable.
    I have all of the latest software on the PC (it is only one month old) and the latest firmware on the Sony 505.
    I have also reformatted my internal memory on the Sony 505, but this did not have any affect.
    Any suggestions?

    You could have the issue whereby .acsm files do not get properly registered.

    One solution to may issues with ADE2.0 is to use the more reliable v1.7.2,
    Try that and see if it helps.
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Downloaded document cannot be opened in Adobe Digital Editions, error is #2038

    I have downloaded a document for Adobe Digital Editions, but it cannot be opened, error is # 2038, what to be done ??

    Hi minczel,
    The #2038 error indicates that ADE cannot get to Activation server. This generally happens because of either system or application level firewalls disallow access to the Adobe activation site (http://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/)
    Try disabling the firewall and check.
    You might also want to refer to the solution mentioned in the thread : Error # 2038
