Deactivate ade

while downloading ebooks from the libary, I receive the error message check activation. How can I deactivate ade?

ctrl-shift-D (cmd-shift-D on Mac)
ADE has lots of stupidities, one it the need for explicity deauthorization (rather than implicit with onfirmation on attempt to reauthorize), one is hiding the deauthorization mechanism.

How do I deactivate ADE?

I cannot authorize my ADE because I have two Adobe IDs and one was used as an email authorization when I first downloaded ADE so now I have to deactivate in order to start over and properly auhorize but the instructions were unclear and the customer rep referred me to the forum. Help!

I share computer with wife. We each have a nook. how do i authorize each of us on one computer?

I need to authorize 2 users on same shared computer (separate win 7 signons) for 2 Nooks. How can I do this?
thanks

ADE stores the authorization on a per OS user basis, so as long as there are two seperate OS user, this will work.
I would suggest narrowing down the problem by getting one nook to work with one account.
Assuming you start with your wife's account:
Start with making sure ADE is authorized to the correct account for the OS user (you can check this in the Library menu -> Authorize Computer),
If it's not then you can deactivate ADE by using Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) Shift D, and then relaunch with the correct AdobeID.
Make sure you can view content.
Then make sure you can copy content your wife's nook.
The make sure your wife's nook can view the content.
If you can't then you may need to deactivate and reactivate the nook, using Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) Shift E
After that's working, and only after that's working, log out of the OS user, log in with your ID and lather/rinse repeat with your nook.
Afer you are finished with your account - then go back and double check that your wifes account/ADE/Nook are all still working and you should still be good to go.
p.s. Your problem with #1 is expected if you already have different ADE IDs that you have content authorized to, and you've copied the wrong content to the wrong nook.
pps - Just to make sure - content purchased from B&N does not work in ADE 1.7.2 you will need to use either:
- Nook for Mac/PC
- NookStudy for Mac/PC
or
- ADE 1.8.2 (currently in public beta at labs.adobe.com)

Activations can not be deactivated?

Abode support called me after putting in a request to reset my activations and told me two things - it was not possible to reset my activation (I need to create a new account and lose the content on my PC) and the ctrl+shift e will deactivate the device but will not subtract 1 in the activation count. If we would like a de-activation feature. we need to put in an enhancement request. We are a library with a large ebook collection that requires ADE. We had planned to circulate several ebook readers. We would have the students download ADE on their own machines and activate the readers. They would then be able to download content from our vendor using their own authorizations, thus adding notes, etc. to the ebooks they borrow. The idea was that they would deactivate the ebook reader after using it. This would mean that after borrowing 5 devices they would have to create a new abode id and start all over. This just does not sound logical. I know that my account is locked because I did not know about the 5 device limit; I reset the devices thinking that it would deactivate ADE, but I figured if I got my account reset and deactivate each device after I use it I could keep under my limit. It sounds like once an activation is added, it is there forever. Is this correct and if so can anyone provide advise on how we can loan these ebook readers.

I need to reset my Adobe ID to start using Digital Editions

Do you mean (1) you have run out of devices on your ID and need to have them reset. see 1~~ below
Or (2) you want to use a new ID on all devices ... don't forget you will lose access to all books using the old ID if you do this. see 2 ~~~ below

Click on 'I still need help' and then you should see 'Chat with an Agent' at the bottom of the page.

Sometimes you will get ‘Sorry! All agents are busy— please check back soon.’
Don’t refresh the page, just hang on and it should eventually go to ‘Chat Now, and agent is available’.
They can reset your authorizations, and then you must reauthorize any devices you still need.
(Unfortunately, Adobe haven’t got round to an admin website for viewing and editing authorizations.)
Some of the representatives haven't been properly trained and don't know what to do (and claim there is nothing they can do);
in that case the only way seems to be to give up that chat and try another session hoping for a properly trained representative.
If your problem is with another device using Overdrive, Bluefire, Aldiko or similar third party app, it is recommended not to mention that app when on the chat, just mention that you have run out of authorizations (E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS) . Thanks to AJP_Bear for that tip.

Can't add .ACSM files to ADE, message: "Error! Check activation"

I am using Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3 with a NOOK Simple Touch, running on a 64-bit 2009 Windows 7 machine. Recently I have been unable to download my library ebooks to my Nook. The electronic library I am using (a derivative of Overdrive, I think) only allows the download of books in the .acsm format. However, recently, I am unable to open the books in ADE. Instead, the only option I have is Adobe Reader. When I select the 'Browse' option and choose ADE and hit 'OK', nothing happens and it doesn't show up as an option. When I try and manually add a file to my ADE library, I get an error message saying 'Error! Check Activation". The only thing I even got halfway working was when I downloaded ADE 1.7.2. I got the .acsm files into the library (still, I had to add them all manually through the ADE interface). However, my NOOK will not open these files, even when using ADE 1.7.2. These are the things I have tried:
-Downloading an e-book (in .acsm format) from the Digital Editions free book selections. Same issue
-downloading and redownloading Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3 (and removing the other program)
-Downloading and redownloading Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 (and removing the other program)
-Deauthorizing ADE (Every time it just says "Unable to erase authorization. Please try again after some time.")
-Adding a book in ADE 1.7.2, getting ADE 4.0.3, transferring the book to the newer software, deleting 1.7.2, and syncing my nook with 4.0.3. Nook says it's not authorized
-Doing a factory reset of my NOOK
-Unblocking the .acsm files by going to Properties>General
-TRYING (and failing) to automatically associate .acsm files with Adobe Digital Editions. Like trying to open a downloaded file with ADE, I get no response when I browse and select i
(SIDE NOTE: my Adobe IDs all match. I know that is also not the issue).
I think the issue here is that something is preventing .acsm files from opening in ADE, and nothing in particular is wrong with my NOOK. My only guess (which is probably misguided) is that Windows can't process my request for ADE to be the program to open .acsm files because it's in the x86 program files folder and not the default Program files folder. I've never heard of that being a problem but I can't think of another reason.
If anyone has any ideas, please give them to me. I am actually typing all this for my grandmother, and she is going crazy without her library books.

On the deactivation issue- I just had a similar issue where I could not deactivate and had to manually deactivate by deleting the activation information from Windows registry. That might help you as well.
Follow the instructions below the disclaimer on this page: Error "E_AUTH_NOT_READY" | Digital Editions
Or if you are more computer savvy, simply close Adobe Digital Editions and then delete this registry key:

I've just bought an ebook but I can not open it because ADE says "Error! Check Activation".

Hi,
I need an urgent support. I've just bought an ebook (from FGV Editor) but I can not open it because a message box says "Error! Check Activation."
I follow all tutorial recommends about deactivate Windows Firewall for ADE program.. I deactivate the whole Windows firewall but I still have the same problem.
Please, whenever ADE support can help me. I still believe Adore Corp. reputation.
Cheers,
Fabio.

Thanks! This worked for me. When you uninstall 4.0 and install 3.0 you will have to deauthorize and then reauthorize your account and reader (CTRL+SHIFT+D) and it should work. This saved me a lot of anguish.

ADE cannot connect to the internet

I have been using Digital Editions for some months now without any issues. Suddenly, the software cannot connect to the internet.
Firstly, I have carefully checked my ID and password and these are both correct, and I can log into my account via my browser.
I have been looking through the forums, and it was suggested that I deactivate the software on my PC and deactivate my ereader, and then reactivate both. This didn’t work, as I cannot connect to the Adobe server, and so I cannot reactivate.
I have tried changing the settings on the firewall to allow ADE through, and have also tried switching the firewall off temporarily. Neither of these worked.
I have tried deleting ADE and reinstalling, but this didn’t work.
I have been using ADE version 3, and tried deleting this and installing version 4, but this didn’t work.
I have checked that I can connect to the Adobe server via my browser using the URL http://adeactivate.adobe.com/. This shows a web page headed by the words “Welcome to Digital Editions” and confirms that my PC can connect to the server via my browser, but not from ADE.
However, my browser cannot connect to the URL http://aractivate.adobe.com. This webpage is not available. Perhaps this is the root of the problem?
Any help?

Two that might help.
1) check your firewall and antivirus. Maybe even try with them (temporarily) turned off.
2) There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. 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.

ADE id

My ADE id is an email address. Should this address be a valid one or it is just used as a username because I want to deactivate this email?

Mainly just used as a username.
However, also used for sending information and forgotten password recovery.
You can log into the Adobe website using it, and the go to 'My Adobe', 'My Adobe Details' (or some similar entry I forget)
and change the email associated while keeping the same basic internal Adobe ID/account

ADE 2.0.1 keeps always asks add epub to library

Recently I've updated ADE to its recent version 2.0.1, and now, every single time that I close an epub book, the application keeps asking me over, and over again that if I want to "add that book to my library to use the bookmarks, and blah blah".
To be fair, I've only read that message the first time, because mainly I use ADE only for reading books, and not for managing my library, and even when in that message comes the option "Don't show this alert again" (and I selected it), that alert shows every single time that I close a book.
So, how can I deactivate that alert, or how can I get rid of it... I only want to read books, not to have a library.
Thanks in advance, best regards.

Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

Before you do anything, how many of your computers now have the same Premiere Elements purchased/activated serial number installed on them - just that one old one?

I can no longer see my kobo in the ADE. What do I do?
I was able to transfer my library books by downloading and then transferring them to my kobo through ADE. Now when I open my ADE my Kobo doesn't show up but the kobo is connected to my computer and I can see it in my control panel.

I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate. The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

CS3 Won't Run, Uninstall or Deactivate, Can't Reinstall; Junked.

Windows XP Pro SP2
2GB Ram
Adobe CS3 Production Premium
Thanks to Adobe's new licensing system I have a $1700 production suite that is completely useless.
After a few weeks of working fine, it suddenly decided, for reasons unknown, to cease working. With the exception of Acrobat Reader, no portion of CS3 suite will load, all crash out with an error during the loading process, all with what appears to be an issue related to Flexnet licensing.
I've tried following the crazy instructions regarding removing it, but not even Windows' Add/Remov eprograms can remove it because it needs to be deactivated first, but I can't do that because I can't load any CS3 application to deactivate it.
When I tried manually removing all traces of CS3, including all the registry hacks Adobe barbarically suggests (rather inelegant for a supposedly industry profrssional product) the reinstallation goes awry and after it finally finishes, all applications still fail because it is supposedly not activated properly.
At this point I can only assume that the product is merely junk and that Adobe simply does not care. (they have not suggested a real solution, only clumsy and idiotic suggestions to remove it manually and reinstall over and over).
My last recourse is to completely format my hard drive, and completely reinstall Windows XP SP2 which is a major undertaking in and of itself, entailing a massive backup and reinstallation of all my software, as well as all my project and business information.
Adobe (and Photoshop) have truly gone downhill since Photoshop 7, and I see very little of any value or worth in this "Creative Suite" as the only thing it seems to create is frustration and additional problems. Is this sort of licensing really stopping software pirates? Am I supposed to suffer through lost contracts and countless hours of frustration after paying nearly $2000 for the software so that some pirate can't use it? Why don't they have a standalone application that can handle activation/deactivation and installation repair? Flexnet is practically a system crippling virus. And why did the add/remove wizard force me to shut down Yahoo messenger before it could run, and then tell me it couldn't do anything anyway?
This software is junk. Now I am forced to find a new product to edit my digital photography and create web and video content (hopefully for less than the $2000 I wasted on these discs that are now only good as beer coasters).

>Any chance your firewall is blocking Flexnet?
No, I had disabled the firewall entirely after the issue presented itself. When I initially installed CS3 for the very first time I gave it (and all Adobe products) full permissions to allow for updating and any other internet-related communications they might require. Initially everything installed correctly, activated properly and all applications worked fine. After two or three weeks everything suddenly failed. After trying to load Photoshop and getting the mysterious failure, I had tried running other apps and all CS3 specific apps failed, giving me my first clue that it was licensing related (especially in light of the fact that non CS3-specific Adobe apps *would* load, such as Flash Encoder, Acrobat, and mysteriously, Soundbooth).
It's my belief that since the Flexnet licensing subsystem (which is crucial to running CS3) is prone to corruption, deletion or other conflicts, that there should be a standalone application that can perform a verification check for Flexnet activation and repair, registration and updating without requiring an Adobe CS3 app to be loaded. Especially since the deactivation procedure requires loading into a working CS3 app. I was told by a forum member that this is "the least of my worries" yet it is a concern for those who wish to minimize the amount of time spent calling customer service and dealing with installation and activation problems.
It's most likely that something I installed, uninstalled or use, had caused a conflict or corruption in Flexnet thereby preventing CS3 from operating. Following Adobe's suggestions, I stopped and restarted Flexnet, and Photoshop asked me to reactivate, and the reactivation was successful, however the application still crashed when it got to the "Initializing Palettes..." loading stage. All other CS3 applications, at that point, also failed to load, and all gave the same error code (which also referenced adobeowl.dll).
The Add/Remove system didn't work properly, and so I also followed other suggestions (as per Adobe) of manual removal, running CS3clean.exe and reinstalling, but that also failed to resolve the issue (twice running CS3clean.exe first at level 1 and then level 2, I hadn't bothered with level 3 at this point as there seems to be no trace of Adobe software on my system), and the applications gave the same errors after reinstallation, activation and attempting to launch.
The last recourse suggested was a "low level format" as that would be the only way to ensure no remaining traces of activation, licensing or prior installation, and would generate a new and unique activation and installation environment. However, since the actual *problem* has not been determined (nobody seems to know *why* or *how* this has happened) I am extremely reluctant to take such an action if the problem is likely to crop up again.
Since other people have reported the same problem, (not to mention many issues regarding installation problems) I really don't wish to spend hours backing up my system, formatting and reinstalling Windows, updating Windows, reinstalling every driver and software package and then gambling that Adobe *might* work properly after all that.
Since there is obviously a conflict with some software I run, and the other software I run is software I own and use routinely, then it's evident that Adobe Flexnet licensing is unable to maintain a coherent and secure record of my ownership of the CS3 product. That being the case, I don't see any point in continuing to wrestle with it until such time as Adobe determines a cause for the problem and issues a fix for it (though I doubt they will, they don't seem concerned in the slightest). For now, CS3 is no longer a piece of software I can use effectively or rely upon to be part of my production pipeline. I'm looking into other options for my workflow, and recommending against CS3 (as a whole) in general, except on "clean" systems with virtually no other potentially conflicting non-OS software present.
