Error message : "Check Activation"?

I have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions and authorized my computer. When I try to open a downloaded library book, I get the error message "Check Activation." Can someone please help?
Thanks.

i talked to my library and they advised that there had been problems with version 4.0 and that there was a new version 4.0.2. I deactivated the authorization and uninstalled the old adobe and then deleted the downloaded books from my computer. i restarted my computer and reinstalled the newer version of adobe and downloaded another book - when prompted i authorizes the computer. this worked..... i still could not open the old books, but is now works with new downloaded books. i think i also had a problem with the adope password as i think i gave two differatn ones when i reinstalled previously - so make sure you have the correct password.
hope this helps

  • Can't add .ACSM files to ADE, message: "Error! Check activation"

    I am using Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3 with a NOOK Simple Touch, running on a 64-bit 2009 Windows 7 machine. Recently I have been unable to download my library ebooks to my Nook. The electronic library I am using (a derivative of Overdrive, I think) only allows the download of books in the .acsm format. However, recently, I am unable to open the books in ADE. Instead, the only option I have is Adobe Reader. When I select the 'Browse' option and choose ADE and hit 'OK', nothing happens and it doesn't show up as an option. When I try and manually add a file to my ADE library, I get an error message saying 'Error! Check Activation". The only thing I even got halfway working was when I downloaded ADE 1.7.2. I got the .acsm files into the library (still, I had to add them all manually through the ADE interface). However, my NOOK will not open these files, even when using ADE 1.7.2. These are the things I have tried:
    -Downloading an e-book (in .acsm format) from the Digital Editions free book selections. Same issue
    -downloading and redownloading Adobe Digital Editions 4.0.3 (and removing the other program)
    -Downloading and redownloading Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 (and removing the other program)
    -Deauthorizing ADE (Every time it just says "Unable to erase authorization. Please try again after some time.")
    -Adding a book in ADE 1.7.2, getting ADE 4.0.3, transferring the book to the newer software, deleting 1.7.2, and syncing my nook with 4.0.3. Nook says it's not authorized
    -Doing a factory reset of my NOOK
    -Unblocking the .acsm files by going to Properties>General
    -TRYING (and failing) to automatically associate .acsm files with Adobe Digital Editions. Like trying to open a downloaded file with ADE, I get no response when I browse and select i
    (SIDE NOTE: my Adobe IDs all match. I know that is also not the issue).
    I think the issue here is that something is preventing .acsm files from opening in ADE, and nothing in particular is wrong with my NOOK. My only guess (which is probably misguided) is that Windows can't process my request for ADE to be the program to open .acsm files because it's in the x86 program files folder and not the default Program files folder. I've never heard of that being a problem but I can't think of another reason.
    If anyone has any ideas, please give them to me. I am actually typing all this for my grandmother, and she is going crazy without her library books.

    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:

  • I have an error message with ADE 2: "Error! Check Activation"

    Downloading ebooks from the library I find that the only thing downloaded is a 2Kb file downloaded to the "download" file.  When I click on this file I get the message: Error!  Check Activation"

    This is probably one of the files that is required by the template you are using.
    These files are inside the iWeb app. Control click the iWeb app icon and select "Show package contents".
    You need to dig down through the folders and files to find what you want...
    Contents/Resources/da.lproj/Templates/
    If the file is missing you would need to re install the iWeb app...

  • Error! Check Activation.

    I purchased an eBook from Books-a-Million and downloaded it. When I try to open it with Adobe Digital Editions, I get a message that reads, "Error! Check Activation."

    Have you registered your AdobeID with your version of ADE2.0?
    If you had a previous version of ADE (even an uninstalled one) it is possible that ADE has got into a confused state with registration.
    Try to deregister whatever it has, using ctrl-shift-D (cmd-shift-D on Mac) in Library view.
    The restart ADE, and reregister with menu/Library/Authorize Computer.
    ~~~
    I have had lots of problems with v2.0, so quite understand you might what to try 1.7.2 again.
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Unable to open acsm files in ADE. "Error! Check activation." Any idea?

    Unable to open acsm files in ADE (e-books I have recently bought and borrowed, too). I get the message "Error! Check activation." The ADE programme is authorized on both PCs in use. Any idea?

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

  • Error! Check Activation and Can't Delete Authorization, getting "Please try after some time"

    Hello,
    I am getting "Error! Check Activation" error message when I try to download epub from acsm file. I found that I should erase and re-authorize. When I try to erase authorization I get, "Please try after some time."
    I need a solution.
    Thanks.

    I can't de authorize my computer. It just keeps saying to try again later.

  • I've just bought an ebook but I can not open it because ADE says "Error! Check Activation".

    Hi,
    I need an urgent support. I've just bought an ebook (from FGV Editor) but I can not open it because a message box says "Error! Check Activation."
    I follow all tutorial recommends about deactivate Windows Firewall for ADE program.. I deactivate the whole Windows firewall but I still have the same problem.
    Please, whenever ADE support can help me. I still believe Adore Corp. reputation.
    Cheers,
    Fabio.

    Thanks! This worked for me. When you uninstall 4.0 and install 3.0 you will have to deauthorize and then reauthorize your account and reader (CTRL+SHIFT+D) and it should work. This saved me a lot of anguish.
    You can find the old versions here: Adobe Digital Editions downloads

  • "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.
