Deauthorizing Adobe Digital Editions without account password

Is there a way to deauthorize ADE 4.0.3 without having the account password?
I'm on Windows 7 Pro SP1.
Thanks.

Hi Folks,
please go to the Digital Editions forum, This forum is about video DRM, not about eBooks.

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.

Try to install a adobe digital edition for my kobo touch. i have no administrative password -using library computer. what can i do?

from Marcia.
I have a kobo touch ereader. Try to install adobe digital editions. i only access to a library computer window 7. Try to download ADE 3. 0. Installater.exe. No administrative password.
Can you help me. My kobo touch software is 1.9.17. (r37581 3/16/12) model no. N905B27210158.

Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message. If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

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.

Install and use Adobe Digital Editions on a computer without internet access ?

Hello,
I have a pair of PCs, one of them, with Windows Vista, has never been connected to the internet since many years. It is used for word processing mostly. I didn't even bother to plug an ethernet cable inside or think about a Wifi USB key, in a way it's better that way, no useless distractions and no security threats.
I want to use that offline PC for work, and it would require to use Adobe Digital Editions on that machine. I downloaded the offline standalone installer from adobe.com without problems, however, apparently, Adobe only accepts us to use the program after we have activated it through internet access.
Does that mean there is simply no way out, and I can't use Digital Editions on my offline computer ?
Would you perhaps know a solution to this issue ?
Thank you VERY MUCH if you can help !
Kind regards

I don't think there is a way out.
You could use it for non-DRM books without authorizing, but there are much better options (such as the free Calibre) for that anyway. http://calibre-ebook.com/
If you make a temporary internet connection, then once authorized, you should not need internet access to read books you have got elsewhere and copied to it.

Obtaining ebook without Adobe Digital Editions

Hello.
Our partner is planning to implement some kind of kiosk - publically accessed computer where customers would be able to download ebooks to their ebook reader devices. Thus in such a setup, fulfillment requests can not be carried via digital editions as it's not possible to reauthorise digital editions to each user adobe ID, thus we need some way to generate fulfillment request and get the file tied to user adobe ID without use of Adobe digital editions.
Is such setup possible and how it can be achieved ?
Just to make clear - reader devices that we going to use have only USB interface and no internet connectivity, and thus can not communicate directly with the server - PC have to generate fulfillment request and accept the file. Though device.xml and authorisation.xml files from the reader are readily available.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Alexander Gurvitz

I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

Adobe Digital Edition Errors/Troubleshooting

When installing Adobe Digital Editions, I received a corruption error message."
This occurs because the installation software coming from Adobe's Web site is unable to communicate and pass information through your companies Firewall or PC security to save to the computer, or there is potential that your network is "locked down" limiting the accessibility on the PC to install or uninstall software.

Adobe Digital Edition keeps showing error message when i download my ebook. Pleease help?

i have restarted my pc closed and opened the program, opened another internet page to check if its connect and its still not working?

Are you sure it is still the same underlying Adobe account that was used when then books were originally accessed, with just the password changed?
In that case, should just have continued working, but ... you are using the world's worst software so anything can happen.
Try deauthorizing the computer and reauthorizing.
~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
Another is "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.
