Error getting license: License Server Communication Problem: E_STREAM_ERROR: ???

This is occuring on DRM ebooks. The vendor where I purchased has reset the licenses and I have authorized my computer. Please help...I need to download these books asap. Thanks!

First thing to try is to deregister and reregister ADE.
Often needed after ADE reinstall, and I can easily imagine the Win8 upgrade needing it too,
That isn't the usual message from that issue, but the message does seem to vary for different people.
~~~~~
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. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0

    Error getting license Server communication problem: E_ADEPT_CLIENT
    I am trying to download to ADE so I can move it to my nook.  This is proving to be very frustrating.  I have ADE authorized and the Nook authorized.
    Any advice would be welcome.
    Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum....
    Error messages from ADE are not always clear and useful, and this one is one
    of the ones that can have a couple of meanings.  There's a posting HERE
    <http://technology.myblogzone.info/2011/01/how-to-solve-the-error-getting-license-message-i n-adobe-digital-editions/>
    that
    explains in part what's happened, and I hope it's useful to you.  Good luck!
    And I hope this helps.

    How To Change the Authorized Adobe ID
    http://www.adobe.com/go/digital-editions-createID
    What do you do if your copy of Adobe Digital Editions is authorized with the wrong Adobe ID? This can happen if you’ve started using a different Adobe ID or you somehow messed up the authorization in the past.
    If you’re trying to open an ebook when Adobe Digital Editions is authorized with the wrong Adobe ID, you’ll get an error message like: “License fulfilled by a different user” or something similar referencing licensing or authorization.
    Important note: If you have some ebooks that do require your current authorization, those will become unreadable if you authorize with a different Adobe ID.
    deauthorize
    The first thing to do is deauthorize Adobe Digital Editions. This will remove your current authorization.
    1. Open Adobe Digital Editions
    2. On your keyboard, simultaneously press the Ctrl, Shift, and D buttons (if on Windows) or the Cmd, Shift, and D buttons (if on a Mac)
    3. Click the “Deauthorize” button
    After this you should close Adobe Digital Editions, and then open it again.
    re-authorize
    If you’ve followed the steps above, your copy of Adobe Digital Editions is no longer authorized.
    Open Adobe Digital Editions
    Adobe Digital Editions will behave as if you’ve just installed it, and will prompt you to enter your login information for your Adobe ID. Use the Adobe ID account information that you want to use to authorize Adobe Digital Editions.

  • Trying to open an ebook in ADE and getting error message: Error getting license. License server communication problem: E_STREAM_ERROR

    what do I do?

    What worked for me was to pause my anti-virus (I'm using Kaspersky Pure 3.0) and simply resume after the download was complete but first check the above mentioned by Dominic Michael.
    "Please check your internet connection, any proxy or firewall is blocking the communication with the licensing server."

  • I begin a download it stops. Message reads: Error getting License: License Server Communication Problem: E_STREAM_ERROR.

    I have a working internet connection and this has happened multiple times. ADE is up to date, as well. Any assistance would be appreciated.
    I am running a PC with Vista Home Premium.
    Thanks.

  • Error getting license. license server communication problem: e_adept_document_type_unknown

    I began this day with ADE 17.2 and tried every proffered solution to no avail. The last suggestion was to update to ADE 3.0.
    The exact error message is:
    Unable to download. error getting license. license server communication problem: e_adept_document_type_unknown
    I have tried completely disabling the firewall (domain, public, private) and the problem persists. I have tried running ADE as system admin with same results.
    I've read all the posts on this forum and it appears no one has found a solution.
    Please note: I do not have a proxy, currently all firewalls disabled, no anti-virus software used.
    Windows 7 SP 1 32 bit home premium
    Firefox 27.0.1
    Shockwave flash 12.0.0.70
    Network connection is wifi home network
    Content to be downloaded is PDF from Google Play Books
    Is there anyone who can offer a solution ....
    UPDATE:
    My husband figured out how to disable the firewall on the router and we tested again (and simultaneiously with software firewall disabled). Still didn't work.
    I also created a Firewall Rule specifically for this application:
    GENERAL
    Name: Adobe Digital Editions 3.0
    [x] Enabled
    Action: Allow the connection
    PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
    This program: [local path to]\DigitalEditions.exe
    Services: apply to all programs and services
    COMPUTERS
    [nothing selected]
    PROTOCOLS AND PORTS
    Protocol type: any
    local port: all
    remote port: all

    interface types: [default]
    Edge traversal: defer to application
    USERS
    [defaults]
    Authorized: [nothing entered]
    Exceptions: [nothing entered]
    UPDATE:
    I was reading other posts on similar topics and one of the suggestions was to try OverDrive. Since I already have it, I tried it and received the following error message:
    The specified OverDrive media file "[local path]\AppData\Local\Temp\Seams-Unlikely-epub-2.acsm" is not valid. (The OverDrive media file root element is not valid.)
    According to OverDrive's help forum that means the ACSM file can ONLY be downloaded with ADE!

    UPDATE
    Have learned we have a WNDR4500 router with built-in firewall which can not be disabled. On the NetGear forums, there was the uninformative suggestion to "use DMZ in the router settings" to disable the firewall. In looking at the settings for our firewall, the nearest screen I could find to resemble that suggestion contained the following:
    [ ] Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection
    [ ] Default DMZ Server [192.168.1.0]
    [ ] Respond to Ping on Internet Port
    [x] Disable IGMP Proxying
    MTU Size(in bytes) 1500 bytes
    NAT Filtering [x] secured [ ] open
    [ ] Disable SIP ALG
    I'm afraid this is beyond the scope of my understanding and have no idea what I should be doing here so have made no changes.

  • ADE Network requirements - License Server Communication Problem: E_ADEPT_DOCUMENT_TYPE_UNKNOWN:

    Oh the joy and bliss of DRM'd training material. From my Android I can access the SAP training manual, however, from my work desktop I cannot. ADE is installed, my account activated, I have downloaded a free document (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes). However, when I try to load the training manual, I get this error:
    "Unable to download. Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ADEPT_DOCUMENT_TYPE_UNKNOWN:"
    My theory is that ADE is attempting to access a server through our proxy / web content filter and is being tripped up. I would like to view some log files, understand the network requirements, etc. in order to properly formulate a request to have our network configuration adjusted to permit this content.
    ADE Version 1.x had the option to turn on logging (Ctrl-Shift-T, enable logging...) however, in version 3.x, Ctrl-Shift-T does nothing.
    Any help is appreciated!
