"Error! Check Activation" Regular solutions not working- details in post

I am on a new laptop running Windows 8.1 and am setting up ADE on it. I get "Error! Check Activation." whenever I try and open an overdrive public library book. The computer is authorized and running a licensed set of CS5 Creative Suite software as well which has no issues. When I try to deauthorize and reauthorize, I get the error, "Unable to Erase Authorization. Please after some time." It has said this for three days. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalled ADE4.0. I have tried using ADE 3.0. Still didn't work, uninstalled, and reinstalled 4.0. Google suggested going into the registry and deleting the Adept>Authorization, however it will not allow deletion and I do not know if further tinkering it will affect my creative suite software. I have deauthorized my previous laptop, and reauthorized it, but now get bad ID errors when trying to download new books, and cannot return old ones on that machine now, which means I can't use that as a workaround in the meantime. Earlier I did install the overdrive console for Windows 8 by mistake, rather than the windows desktop version, and proceeded to download a few of the books using that. It has since been uninstalled, but might this have caused the issues?
Any ideas as to what may solve my problem?

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:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept

Please help. Error 16 after update - solutions not working for me

If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. Have spent the last three days since Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop update trying to get anything to work. I have tried the various solutions, but nothing seems to work for me. I am using OSX 10.8.4. Would really appreciate any assistance. Many thanks in advance. John

Blanco1234 and Capnahabnick to confirm you have both implemented the steps listed in Configuration error - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html?
If so you could still be facing permission difficulties. I would recommend logging in as a root user and trying to launch Photoshop in that account. If you are successful then your current user account still has compromised file permissions.
You can find information on how to log into a root user account at Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528.

"Error check activation" is the message I get when pulling a book from the library. My computer is authorized (per the ADE screen) I have tried un-authorrzing and re-authorizing but nothing works. Please help

I am having the same problem, and my computer is authorized through my Adobe ID and I cannot open any books. I tried downloading a book from the university library, using my ID, the book is in ACSM format, and I cannot open the book because it keeps telling me
"error check activation" I am including screen shots to show my computer is authorized.

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.

Adobe Digital Editions v4.0 Error: Check Activation on Windows 8

This isn't a question but a solution that I found to an issue that I hope will help others. I couldn't find a discussion board on this so I'm creating a new one.
I started getting the error message, "Error: Check Activation" when I was trying to download ebooks on my Windows 8 PC. I noticed this was problem for 2.0 as well, and when I tried to erase authorization and reauthorize (which seemed to be the way to fix the problem) it wouldn't allow me to. Then I tried to uninstall and reinstall which didn't work. Then I found the page for if you were having trouble installing ADE. I didn't really have problems with that part but I figured I would give it a try.
One this page, it says to "manually" install the program (which involves downloading the actual zip file and going through that). I did this and it fixed everything! I was able to erase the authorization and reauthorize after this.
I figured I would put this out there so that others might find it useful. I don't know this is specifically a Windows 8 problem or a v4.0 problem or what, but I would suggest trying to "manually" install the program before doing any of the other super complicated fixes that I came across and was scared to try.

ok, follow the below steps as listed.
1. Quit ADE.
2. Choose Start > Search for regedit
3. Right click on regedit, ans select "Run as admininstrator"
4.In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept
5. Select Adept key, right click on it and select "Delete"
6. In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor.
8. Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.
Hope this works !!

ADE error - Check Activation

I've been using ADE for downloading library books for some time but recently had work done on my computer. Now ADE gives me a message "error - check activation" every time I try to download. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ADE but the problem persists. I am able to open ADE but not download. The program indicates my computer is authorized. I'm running Windows XP. Any suggestions?

Thanks to previous discussions I was able to solve my problem by deauthorizing my ADE with (ctrl-shift-D) and then re-authorizing my ADE. Thanks everyone for their input.

Try de-authorizing and then re-authorize the computer.
Please make sure that you remember the user-id/password correctly.

Dear Rajeev,
DDIC pwd for 001 is not same as 001,Will that be a problem ? But the Extraction requests for DDIC 000 client password. Are you sure UME comes into this scenario ?
@ Raghu - I have checked the link and it speaks about the resetting the EHPI. I dont want to reset and want to solve ddic password error.
Sorry if am wrong
@ Gerard,
Yes the hostname is SAPRBSBD-01.I am able telnet the IP 3300 and it works fine. FQDN SAPRBSBD-01.chen.local. The smicm service entries are with SAPRBSBD-01 but not with FQDN. Changing it to FQDN will help us to resolve the issue. Please suggest me.
Also the error refers to some RFC connection, any idea on that.
Thanks to all and looking for your valuable suggestions.
Raj

Archive file with errors in sender file adapter not working! please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a file to RFC scenario. the input is a XML file. I have setup the flag in sender file adapter channel for archiving the input files with errors. But it is not working.
For testing I have used an invalid xML file for example without the main XML tag. I have also tested with a MSWORD file saved with.xml extension. But in both the cases the files are not getting archived.
My archive location permissions are fine and in fact normal archive operation is happening. That is, if I select the processing mode as "Archive" and gave the Archive directory then files are getting archived. The problem is only with the "Archive faulty source files" option.
What am I missing? DO I need to do some more configurations?
What are the prerequisites if any for this option?
How to test this?
Please help me! I will be greatfull to you all!
Thanks & Regards
Gopal

I downloaded the Adobe Digital Edition when I try to download my resource books I get this Error "Error: check activation" what could be wrong?

I downloaded the Adobe Digital Edition when I try to download my resource books I get this Error "Error: check activation" what could be wrong?

Have you activated Digital Editions with an Adobe ID (or a Vendor ID)?
Go to the Help menu and select Authorization Information...
A window will appear to display your authorization information. If your computer is not authorized, you'll need to do that before you can read any DRM-protected books. If you don't have an Adobe ID, you can create one here.

Activation centre is not working for cs2

How is it possible that the activation centre is not working?

Adobe permanently decommissioned the CS2 activation server in Dec 2012.
The good news is that you can now download a fresh copy of CS2 which no longer requires activation.
