Downloading ebook to Adobe Digital Editions produces activation error

Hi there,
So I bought an ebook from the Google ebook store. I then wanted to change it to the Epub format, so I can read it on my Kobo Touch device. Using Digital Editions, I went to 'File', then 'Add to Library'. I went to 'Downloads' on my pc, and changed the file name to 'Adobe Content Server Message (*.acsm), which then showed the book file I wanted to download. But when I clicked on it, it came up with 'Error! Check Activation'. I see this happened to another user on this forum, but there's no answer to his question as yet. Please can someone help? So frustrated!
Thanks.

I am having the same error, but I have not been able to find a solution either

  • Error when downloading ebook to Adobe Digital Editions (ADE)

    The ADE program has been uninstalled, installed and updated on my personal laptop; however, when downloading an ebook via my university library proxy, I get the following error when attempting to open an ebook (*.acsm file) in the ADE program. The only way to initially gain access to an ebook is using my university library proxy server to access an ebook in the .acsm file format.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

    windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

    Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
    The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
    And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
    (If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
    And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
    (If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
    I hope it helps.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Unable to download library ebooks to Adobe Digital Editions....

    I have always been able to do this. Have not used it for a couple months and now after downloading the library ebook, the book does not show on the ADE "screen". How can I fix this? I miss my library books! TIA

    I was having the same problem with the same error message which was quite frustrating, but I finally got it to work. Trying another browser did not work, trying to remove and reinstall the software did not work either. What finally worked was deauthorizing the computer and then authorizing it again. However, that was not so simple as every time I tried within Digital Editions it would not let me, kept giving me a message saying 'try again sometime later'. So, then I typed in something like 'can't deauthorize computer' and that is where things started working. Someone left instructions for deauthorizing on another post which I have pasted below for your convenience. Once I went through these steps I went back to digital editions, authorized the computer, and I was finally able to download my library books - was quite a frustrating process!
    If due to some reason, you are unable to deauthorize ADE, follow the below steps:
    Mac: Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.
    ADE will be deauthorized now.
    Now Authorize ADE again.
    Windows:
    Choose Start > Run.
    In the Open text box, type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.
    In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept
    Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.
    In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.
    Your authorization will be deleted.
    ADE will be deauthorized now.
    Now Authorize ADE again.

  • 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.

  • 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.
