Digital Editions - unable to download

Hi
I purchased an eBook (epub) about a year ago. I authorized the computer (laptop) and downloaded the eBook successfully. My laptop was subsequently stolen a few months later. I'm now trying to download the eBook again onto a new laptop but I'm getting the below error
Unable to download. Error getting license. License Server Communication Problem:
E_LIC_ALREADY FULFILLED_BY_ANOTHER_USER.
I have authorized the new laptop using the same Adobe ID previously used with no success. I have deauthorized / erased authorization and reauthorized the laptop as per advice on some of the forums but this has not helped at all.
I contacted the store I purchased the eBook from and they advised I contact Adobe directly for assistance.
Please help urgently.
Kind Regards,
Juan Pretorius

    I have downloaded overdrive on my windows 8.1 and authorized it for digital editions How do I download the library book on overdrive to my kobo

    This is probably the article that you were referring to with the registry fix:
    "Help! After installing Windows 8.1, my USB drive disappears or file transfers
    stop unexpectedly..."
    This article was updated to state that the registry workaround is no longer required, as the Update has a fix in it. However, you still might want to check the power settings and make sure 'suspend' is disabled.

  • Adobe Digital Edition freezes after downloading a book via -acsm file

    Hello,
    Three hours ago I have downloaded the Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) so that I can read a book for my studies.
    I use Win7 on my netbook.
    I fully authorized it, downloaded the .acsm file, unblocked it in the properties and opened it with the ADE.
    A smaller window popped up saying: Fulfilling[book name] and a progress bar went up to 100%.  Then it dissapeared and the ADE froze in a fashion that it can be moved around and minimalized, but nothing else.
    Eventually, after about 30min I closed it via task manager.
    I've already spent three hours digging through the forums instead of studying so any help is appreciated.

    I am also having this problem. Did you find a solution?

  • Digital Editions 3.0 downloading problems

    I installed Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 because I was having trouble downloading library books with 2.0.  Now I cannot download anything to the Digital editions and therefore to my Nook.  I have authorized my computer.

    yes - my installation/upgrade worked as expected (although, 'your mileage may vary')

  • Need help w/ Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) to download to Nexus 7 using Sony eReader

    I am wondering if I can download an etextbook on Adobe Digital Edition (ADE) from my labtop to my Nexus 7 using Sony eReader.
    I am trying to do this and coming up w/ this problem on my Nexus 7 - Sony eReader currently.
    It will not accept Adobe ID under "Adobe ID Confirmation" on Sony eReader.
    It also says: 
    ATTENTION:  You need to enter the Adobe ID originally associated with your Reader Store account.  Usually, this ID is automatically created.
    Do you know will these programs/devices be compatable w/ each other?   If not can I use Ipad as a last resort?

    You should install an Adobe DRM compatible app on the Nexus 7.
      I suggest Bluefire; also consider Akdiko or Overdrive but some people have issues registering them. Some tablets come with such an app preinstalled.  Authorize the tablet from within the app to use your Adobe ID (details vary from app to app, usually somewhere within Settings)

  • Digital editions unable to install

    After downloading digital editions it will not install

    Hi Lord13 Moz,
    Please let me know what error do you get while installing Digital Editions.

  • What Digital Editions should I download using Windows 8

    Does Digital Editions work with Windows 8, books download to my computer but adobie does not launch 

    Both ADE 2.0 and the older 1.7.2 work on Windows 8.
    ADE 2.0 has some bugs that prevent it working well in some cases (most connected to certain devices and to Overdrive).
    If ADE does not launch, it is probably because the file type registrations didn't get properly made.
    Try an 'Open With' on .acsm and .epub files, and force them to open with ADE.
    (Can't give more details now, post again if you need help with that).

  • When I try to authorize the adobe digital edition that I downloaded it tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I am.

    I purchased some CEU courses from humankinetics.com and I was trying to download the course information. It said I had to download Adobe digital edition to read the ebooks associated with my courses. I downloaded it and I was trying to authorize it so I could run it and for some reason whether I use an Adobe ID or not it keeps telling me that I am not connected to the internet. I have checked and rechecked my connection and it is fine. Is there any way around this?

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Why is EPUB not downloading to adobe digital editions anymore?

    I have Adobe Digital Editions and have downloaded EPUB from online bookshops previously but all of a sudden they won't download and the following message comes up "Connection Error Detected - Digital Editions couldn't connect to the fulfillment server, Please make sure you are connected to the internet" - I AM connected to the internet.

    Hi,
    I looked at the link and it didn't work. I have uninstalled digital editions and reinstalled it and it still didn't work. I clicked "unblock" on the properties of the file concerned and it still didn't work. Any further suggestions would be appreciated if you have any.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Does Windows 8.1 support Adobe Digital Editions 2

    I have an Archos 9.0 eReader. Adobe Digital Editions has always worked on Windows 8 but since upgrading to Windows 8.1, I am unable to download from Windows 8.1 to the eReader. Should I delete the Adobe Digital Editions file and download a newer version.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Howell E

    ADE2.0.1 sort of works for me, going through the Win 8 to 8.1 upgrade without deterioration.
    I don't actually use it to transfer to my eReader (Sony PRS-350),
    as bugs in ADE2.0/2.0.1 mean that it will not work with that eReader and Overdrive library books.
    That isn't an OS version isssue, but an ADE bug.
    General solution to many curious problems ...
    ~~~~~~~~~
    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.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    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.
