How do I deauthorize my computer in Adobe Digital Editions program?

I authorized my computer with the incorrect Adobe ID, but now I cannot authorize my computer with the correct Adobe ID. It will not let me deauthorize the wrong account nor allow me to authorize the correct account.

Ctrl-Shift-D (Cmd-Shift-D Mac) should bring up a deauthorization dialog.

  • Trouble Authorizing Computer with Adobe Digital Editions

    I'm unable to authorize my computer with Adobe Digital Editions. It just gets 'stuck' on the authorizing computer page, it tells me to wait whilst the green bar moves backwards and forwards for hours. I've tried reinstalling the software but it didn't help.
    I searched for help and there was mention of reducing my security settings, which would these be? I'm using Windows 7, I've tried switching off all firewalls and I'm using the administrator account.
    I'm not very tech savy so any advise in simple terms would be appreciated! Many thanks

    I have the same problem. I am also running Windows 7, however, within VirtualBox. I hope this makes no difference.
    I switched off firewall and reduced security settings to the lowest level. I installed and afterwards started the software having admin rights.
    The problem occurs with ADE 2, 3 and 4.
    The authorizations does not have an end. The green bar is moving for hours with the message "authorization running".
    Can anyone help??

  • How can I properly and COMPLETELY uninstall Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 from my Mac?

    OK, so yeah, I *SHOULD* have known better...
    A few months back, against my better judgement and without doing the proper due diligence, I tried installing Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 onto the primary drive of my MacBook Pro (running MacOS 10.6.8).
    The tell-tail signs:
    PROBLEM #1
    While there IS readily available "Tech Specs" documentation for the current Adobe Digital Editions v4.0.1 installer for MacOS (which clearly states "Mac OS X v10.8 or later" is REQUIRED), there is absolutely NO indication or similar documentation for supported system software for PREVIOUS versions of Adobe Digital Editions.
    Reference URL:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/downloads.html
    PROBLEM #2a
    Adobe Digital Editions v3.0 for MacOS comes as an installer (which REQUIRES admin authentication to provide root-level access to your computer).
    PROBLEM #2b
    Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0 Installer" is FULLY launchable under MacOS 10.6.8 (and the installed application will require MacOS 10.7 or later).
    PROBLEM #2c
    There is NO associated ("ReadMe" type) support document included on the "ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg" disc image and ZERO integrated documentation within in the installer.
    PROBLEM #2d
    There is NO Adobe "Digital Editions 3.0" UNinstaller either installed as part of the "Standard" installation package OR currently downloadable from Adobe.com.
    PROBLEM #3
    Adobe's ONLY MacOS solution to "Uninstall previous versions [prior to the current v4.0] of Adobe Digital Editions for Mac OS" are the following instructions:
    It's necessary to have administrator privileges to complete these steps.
      1. From your user directory, locate /Applications
      2. Drag the digitaleditions1x5 folder to the Trash, and empty the Trash.
    Reference URL:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    PROBLEM #4
    Adobe's "What are my contact options?" page indicates BOTH "Chat (within 90 days of registration)" and "Forums" as available "Basic Support" options for Adobe "Digital Editions" software for "Download, install, setup" help, however, "Forums" is the ONLY available choice under "Contact options" for on Adobe's "Contact Customer Care" page (for "Download, install, setup" help with Digital Editions).
    Reference URL:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?step=ADE_downloading-installing-setting-up_s tillNeedHelp
    PROBLEM #5
    The ONLY available "Basic Support" option for "How-to's & troubleshooting" help is the Adobe Forums...and this is an example of the type nonsense response (then followed by NON-response) that one might receive there:
    https://forums.adobe.com/message/6570142
    [NOTE:  After MUCH searching I did, however, manage to find a potentially interesting "Let us know how we’re doing" link (under the "Our support promise" link found on the "What are my contact options? page).  I am going to send them a brief message along with a link to THIS post and hope for the best.]
    Reference URL:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/what-contact-options.html
    PROBLEM #6
    While I did NOT realize this prior to my attempting to install Adobe Digital Editions, apparently it would require me to "activate" my computer with an Adobe ID.
    [NOTE:  This information IS included in the readily accessible FAQ (and I am sure it's also found in the installer integrated software "License"), however, this is a MAJOR "feature" of this software and could be presented MUCH more prominently as an installer integrated "ReadMe" screen.]
    Reference URL:
    http://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/faq.html
    ...and, as an added bonus, there is a SIGNIFICANT "spyware" issue with this software discussed in further depth here:
    http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/06/adobe-spying-users-collecting-data-eboo k-libraries/
    As an experienced and life-long Mac user, I really SHOULD have known better and I did have second thoughts almost immediately, but by then it was TOO LATE!!!
    So, now I have this TOTAL crap, super duper DRM software that required root-level permission to install (AND I couldn't even run this installed v3.0 copy under my preferred MacOS 10.6.8 if I wanted to...but, of course, I now have ABSOLUTELY NO desire to ever use this software again), and I just want to COMPLETELY remove all traces of it from my computer!
    A pretty thorough Google search yielded several so-called "solutions" that were as bad or EVEN worse than the very limited "official" resources found directly from Adobe!
    Any actual, real working solutions would be VERY greatly appreciated!
    Thank you SO MUCH for your time and consideration in reading!!!
    Sincerely,
    aadams77

    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.

  • Authorize computer in Adobe Digital Editions

    Can multiple users authorize one computer on different windows login accounts?  Several family members in our household have adobe IDs + library cards.  When I connect my NOOK color to transfer an ebook within Adobe Digital Editions, it compares the email address registered on my device to the email address authorized within the Adobe Digital Editions (which is my daughter's because we set up her ID first).  Does this limit only one user per computer when downloading ebooks through this software?

    tjb04 I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.

    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.

  • De-authorizing Adobe Digital Editions

    I know the command+shift+D trick and this works on my Intel based Mac,  but not on the software version for my old PowerBook G4. I know  it's the most updated version of the software for non-Intel based Macs  because I uninstalled and reinstalled it in an attempt to reset the  authorization. This didn't work.
    How do I deauthorize or reauthorize the Adobe Digital Editions software on a non-Intel based Mac?

    There are a lot of users on this forum currently with this exact same problem, some who've even left screenshots of the issue. Definitely is a problem. I've found that for me, the best thing to do was to just manually deactivate using the steps to remove the info from the registry. I linked to the article above, but in case the article moves, here are the steps.
    Disclaimer: The following task requires you to modify the Windows registry. The registry contains system-related information that is critical to your computer and applications. Before you modify the registry, make a backup copy of it. Adobe doesn't provide support for problems that arise from improperly modifying the registry.
    For more information about the Windows registry or the Registry Editor, see the Microsoft Help and Support site at http://support.microsoft.com.
    Close all applications.  
    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
    Select the Adept key.  
    Choose File > Export.  
    In the Export Registry File dialog box, select Selected Branch under Export Range. Enter a name and location for the backup registry key, and then click Save.  
    Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.  
    In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.  
    Close the Registry Editor.  
    Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.
