Error: e_auth_bad_device_key _or_pkcs12

Tengo varios ebooks, los cuales puede abrir en el momento de la descarga sin ningún problema, y ya he empezado a leer, sin embargo, ahora no me deja abrirlos, me dice que la clave está dañada y me muestra este error, tengo el adobe digital editions 2.0, me he descargado el 3.0, por si acaso, pero me da el mismo error. Tengo que añadir que se trata de diferentes ebooks comprados en diferentes páginas y todos legales, por eso llegué a la conclusión de que el problema es de adobe, aunque no se si ha habido algún cambio que haya propiciado esto, pues como dije al principio, en un primer momento pude acceder a todos ellos sin problema ninguno.

Some ebook sellers use the Adobe DRM mechanism, but rather than relying on the Adobe ID for authorization have their own Vendor ID (their own user/password).
You could be able to read your old books but not the new one if all the old books used the Adobe ID, but the new one used a separate Vendor ID.
Check with the ebook seller if you should be using a separate  Vendor ID.
ADE1.7.2 does not support different vendor IDs.  V2.0 does, but I am not sure exactly how to get it to do so.
The user guide says ' The best way to do this is to supply an Adobe ID or Vendor ID, associating the book with your ID.',
but doesn't say how to do this.

  • Problem beim Import/Kopieren Adobe Digital Editions

    Hallo Zusammen,
    Ich habe leider ein Problem bezüglich Adobe Digital Editions und meinem EBook Reader (Trekstor Pyrus).
    Wenn ich versuche ein Ebook in Digital Editions herunterzuladen und es auf meinen Ebook Reader zu kopieren,
    erhalte ich folgende Fehlermeldung :
    Download nicht möglich.
    Fehler beim Abrufen der Lizenz, Lizenzserver-Kommunikationsfehler
    e_auth_bad_device_key _or_pkcs12
    Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen ?
    Vielen Dank im vorraus.

    Nu ja, der Lizenzschlüssel ist entweder komplett ungültig oder schon an ein anderes Gerät gebunden. Vermutlich brauchst du irgendein Firmwareupdate für das Ding oder mußt es einfach mal zurücksetzen.

  • Error message when I try to authorise  "E_ADEPT_IO" and "E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY",

    Hi,  does anyone else get this message when trying to authorise ereader with ADE?
    "E_ADEPT_IO" and "E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY",     

    I received the same error messages. I first had a Be Book which 'died' after only one day. I had successfully registered it. I now have another e-reader, IT Works. However, it does not work since I cannot register the reader. I entered the pasword but it came up with above-mentioned error messages. E-reader works fine with books that are free of cost. It is obviously a problem related to DRM which should be solved on Adobe's side. I have not yet found solutions for computers running with Windows.

  • Opening a book generates an E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY error

    Macbook Pro
    OSX 10.6.8
    ADE 2.0
    Downloaded fine, installed fine, can read free books fine. But I can't authorize my computer for certain books it seems.
    Am trying to open an important etextbook (a .acsm file link) sent by the publisher, and it asks me to authorize my computer. Whether I use my Adobe ID to try to authorize it, or try without an ID, I'm getting an E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY error. I've unlocked, locked and reset my keychain. Nothing. There is no Adobe Digital Editions on the list in keychain by the way.
    Anyone have any ideas at all? Thanks in advance. I'm about to be bald, I've been tearing my hair out so much.

    For your free ebooks, try the free Calibre.  Much better than ADE.
    ~~~
    For ADE with DRM ebooks, try ...
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.  (That means I'm not at all sure it will help, but ...)
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    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.

  • Error communicating with AdobeID server. E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY

    Running Digital editions 1.5 on an Ibook G4 with OSX version 10.4.11
    Installed digital editions, downloaded my book. Started reading, then needed to reboot machine. once I rebooted, I tried to open ADE once more, but I again had to "reactivate" the machine... once I try to reactive it I keep n getting stuck (whether I chose to authorize or not authorize the machine is irrelevant) on the same error...
    Activate Digital Editions
    Error communicating with AdobeID server. Please try again later.
    E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY
    what's going on? When can I read my book? Is your server down? does this happen often? Is this related to the version of ADE?

    Carolina,
    regarding the E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY error...
    We can't tell you -exactly- what this is, but we can give you some general direction.
    On the Mac, Digital Editions 1.5 stores an encryption key (to make sure our client to server calls are secure) in your OS X Keychain.
    If there is a problem creating this key then E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY is the error you'd see.
    The key information is stored as an application password in your keychain. Likely causes of failure include denying access to Digital Editions, or locking your user keychain, and not entering their password when prompted.
    If you're denying access explicitly to Digital Editions, well don't do that (ha. )
    Now, you may not be doing this intentionally. The access permissions on OS X are complicated, so this could be a side effect of some other permission work. You can explicitly grant Digital Editions access to the the keychain item:
    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities)
    Select Passwords from Category
    Select Digital Editions from password list
    Click info button (or press Cmd+i)
    (Dialog labeled Digital Editions should appear)
    Select Access Control tab
    Click + button
    Navigate to our install directory and select ADE 1x5
    Click Save
    Close Dialog
    Launch Digital Editions.
    Anyway, hopefully this helps you narrow the issue down.

  • How do I fix Error Getting licence key E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY

    I'm using ADE 2 on Windows 7. I downloaded and used one book onto my Nook a few months ago,. Just purchased some more books and can't download them as when ascm is opened I get "Unable do download - Error getting license. License server communication problem. E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY_OR_PKCS12."
    The authorise computer option is greyed out on the help menu as well. Also the book I had downloaded now has says "license key is damaged".
    I do have internet access and have tried this several times. I've got no firewall software blocking anything. Any ideas what I should do so I can actually use what I've brought!?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nigel

    Two suggestions: either/both/neither may work.   Good luck.
    ~~~~
    ADE 2.0 is very good at getting registrations corrupt.
    Try removing all registrations; crtl-shift-D to ADE (cmd-shift-D on Mac).  Respond to prompts.
    Restart ADE
    Try again to register with the original ID.
    ~~~~
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Anybody know about the following error message? E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY

    Hi i am getting the error message above when trying to activiate digital editions and link with my ereader.
    I registered with adobe today, plugged the ereader in and it came up with this message after entering my log in details. I tried registering again with a different email address but same message again.
    I have tried to phoen adobe but the automated number asks for a serial number which i cant find on digitial editions anywhere. and i cant see any kind of email ro chat help available either.
    any help greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hi Ginger!
    Unfortunately, this 'ereader' stuff is more than plug-and-play.  It starts
    with techy stuff and then continues with some more techy stuff until you're
    reading the ebook.  The message you're getting tells me that something is
    messed up in the installation of either your ereader or your copy of ADE.
    You didn't tell us what kind of ereader you're using or your computer type
    and operating system.  I can't 'assume' what ereader your have, but let me
    'assume' that you've got a PC running Windows 7.  Here goes....
    If the ereader isn't registered, Adobe may generate the message you're
    getting. You should make sure that your ereader has been registered with
    its website.  For simplicity, use the same ID and password for this as you
    used to register with Adobe when you downloaded and installed ADE.
    Sometimes when you do this, the ereader website updates the software
    located on the ereader (not ADE - that's on your computer).  And some of
    these updates cause problems later on.
    Once you have done the registration bit, you 'should' be ready to download
    ebooks to your computer via ADE, and then transfer them to your ereader.
    You go to the ebook website and follow their directions for downloading.
    During that process, the website should activate ADE on your computer
    automagically, and then you'll be asked what to do with the ebook: 'open'
    it or 'save' it.  I suggest saving it.  If you choose 'open', the ebook
    will be downloaded, but ADE will open it to read on your computer, and the
    ebook won't appear in your library.  If you choose 'save', then the ebook
    will be saved and entered in your ADE library.  That's the basic process.
    Using the ereader isn't supposed to be hard either.  You would plug it into
    your computer and make sure that the computer 'sees' it attached.  The
    ereader should have a drive letter if you display your computer's
    information using My Computer or Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer),
    and the ereader should display a message saying that it's connected to the
    computer.  After this is done, you can start ADE.  During its startup
    process, ADE will look for attached ereaders, and when it is finished
    starting up, it will display the ereader on the bookshelf part (the left
    panel) of its Library view.  Now the easy part.  You just drag and drop the
    ebook you want to transfer from your ADE library to the ereader on the
    bookshelf.
    Adobe help is not necessarily helpful.  You don't have a serial number
    because ADE is a free product.  The Adobe tech's sometimes don't want to
    help you because ADE is a free product, and will tell you that you'll have
    to pay for service.  Baloney.  If you get someone on the phone or in a chat
    session, tell them that you are a Digital Editions user, and that help for
    this product is free from Adobe.
    Hope this helps!

  • E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY error

    Has anyone found a solution to this stupid problem yet?  I am using a MAC with OSX 10.4.11 and Firefox browser. Have tried uninstall / reinstall, moving the system date backwards, deactivating firewall...nothing worked so far.
    thanks to any techies who can provide guidance...

    You are all way more technologically inclined than I am.  Sometimes I get the E_AUTH... Sometimes I get TOO MANY ACTIVATIONS... In either case, I have no idea where the keychain thing is that some emails say here can fix things.  I have 14 ebooks in my borders e-library and I can't get a single book to go to my ereader and books that I had loaded before these dumb messages started have all become "unreadable".
    I spent 4 hours begging borders customer service to help me last night and being transferred into their technical service which is this horrible place with horrible music.  I can't find any way on ADE to get assistance.
    I am so upset with myself for getting sucked into an ereader and buying ebooks!
    If anyone can help a non-techie, I would appreciate it!

  • Can't activate on mac 10.7 Lion-Error communicating with server

    I followed help to remove former install and manually install; tried to sign in and activate get same error as when I also tried "don't authorize andactivate"  which was: Error communicating with  AdobeID server. Try again later. E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY"
    I'm getting VERY frustrated with this new LION OS on this mac. I can't use OVERDRIVE media-it won't work, I can't use ADOBE, it won't work. I'm about to take it back to where I bo't couple days ago and go back to iPhone which overdrive ALWAYS works and forget all else!
    If ANYONE knows ANY solution, since it seems one can never talk to a LIVE person at ADOBE to get help, I'd sure appreicate it.

    The way that it is supposed to go, is that when you Launch ADE for the first time, there is a system dialog that supposed to come up and ask you for your login password, so that ADE can get access to the keychain to add the "Digital Editions" password entry. 
    If you cancel out of that dialog, or don't enter in the password, then you will get the "E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY" error.
    Make sure that when you launch ADE that this dialog doesn't come up behind ADE  (minimize ADE).

  • I cannot activate ADE. Receive Message:  E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY

    I'm so frustrated because I cannot activate ADE on my computer. After downloading the program I cannot make it through setup assistant. I put my Adobe login information in, and am then prompted to eneter my keychain password- it keeps telling me I've entered an invalid password! But I haven't as it is in fact my keychain password and works in all other programs on my computer. What ends up happening is I get the error message:  E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY
    I've tried changing my password in keychain access and rebooting but that doesn't work either. Please help!!!

    i have exactly the same problem. did you try the suggested solution by bwolfe for carolina?
    for me it does not work, but maybe it does for you.

    I am helping my grandma with a problem with her Aluratek Libre.  Back in September I was able to put books on it using my ADE and hers with no problem. Now she is having problems getting books on it and when I brought it home to look at it I get these two messages alternating.

  • E_ACT TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS & E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY

    I am running Windows XP SP3 -- I recently purchased a Kobo and have had numerous problems.  I have had to authorize two different Kobos on the Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) program.  I have had to do numerous factory resets on two Kobos, and each time I had to authorize the Kobo on ADE.  Searching through postings, I saw that one person had success in uninstalling and reinstalling ADE.  I tried this.
    Now I cannot authorize the second Kobo.  I get the message
    E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS http://adeactivate.adobe.com/adept/Activate 5057:57:6057 urn:uuid:03a8f4b4-be14-405f-b063-2d70c10e4727
    and when I try to proceed by logging into Adobe, I get the message
    Error Communicating with AdobeID Server. Please try again
    E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY
    My firewall is configured to allow all ADE communications.  I have not changed the settings on my virus checker (AVG) since the time that I first got the authorizations.
    I have read some of the postings, but most are too technical for me...one talked about opening Keychain Access etc.
    None of the books that I have tried to load onto the Kobo have had any Digital Rights -- they are all free books from Project Gutenberg or some of the free ones from Baen books.
    Do I even need to go through ADE to load on public domain epub books?
    How do I proceed?  Any suggestions would be very helpful.

    Adobe has been able to reset the activation count for others  when the
    issues related to the ereader hardware, so I think you can call them and get
    some assistance.  I've not seen the 'bad key' message before, so I don't
    know what that one means.
    Hope this helps!

  • Windows Vista: Ipod Error Message, no longer read by PCs

    Hello,
    I have a 5th generation black ipod video with 30GB of memory.
    The other day I hooked it up to my laptop (Toshiba, 4 months old) that it's been functioning on with no problems whatsoever. This weird error message flashed twice about it not being able to sync because of some software problem.
    Eversince then, the only thing I can charge my ipod on is the family treadmill in the basement (~_~) as no other computer in the house recognizes it. I can't even charge it through the wall sockets, either.
    I have changed the ipod cord, still no luck. I've also reset the device about 3 or 4 times and uninstalled, restarted the laptop then reinstalled itunes. I would like to reset it back to factory settings but that's impossible as computers/laptops don't pick it up. I live very far from a Mac store...
    What's a girl to do? I can't live without my Busta Rhymes and Wu-Tang Clan!
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
