Install and use Adobe Digital Editions on a computer without internet access ?

Hello,
I have a pair of PCs, one of them, with Windows Vista, has never been connected to the internet since many years. It is used for word processing mostly. I didn't even bother to plug an ethernet cable inside or think about a Wifi USB key, in a way it's better that way, no useless distractions and no security threats.
I want to use that offline PC for work, and it would require to use Adobe Digital Editions on that machine. I downloaded the offline standalone installer from adobe.com without problems, however, apparently, Adobe only accepts us to use the program after we have activated it through internet access.
Does that mean there is simply no way out, and I can't use Digital Editions on my offline computer ?
Would you perhaps know a solution to this issue ?
Thank you VERY MUCH if you can help !
Kind regards

I don't think there is a way out.
You could use it for non-DRM books without authorizing, but there are much better options (such as the free Calibre) for that anyway. http://calibre-ebook.com/
If you make a temporary internet connection, then once authorized, you should not need internet access to read books you have got elsewhere and copied to it.

I am trying to get authorisation to use Adobe digital edition, but my book's vendor is not on the list, and hence the password not accepted.

Numbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers.

Opened adobe digital edition anonymously and now can't use book on other computer

I didn't realise I needed to open adobe digital editions with my name in order to access the book I purchased from more than one device. How can I remedy this situation? the publisher is not being overly helpful

This is a vicious trap that Adobe lays for unsuspecting customers.
When you register 'without ID', ADE creates an anonymous/implicit ID with limited powers (eg can't be used to share with other devices).
Whenever you first load a DRM book, that copy of the book is associated with whatever ID the computer is registered to at the time.
Any book you load while this anonymous ID is active gets associated with that ID, and can't be read on any other device.
When you properly register your computer with a real ID, that old anonymous ID is lost.
Now you don't have any devices that can read the book.
The only way I know round this is to use a DRM stripper such as epubee BEFORE you deauthorize the device.
I do NOT advocate using such code to get around the valid limitations placed on a DRM book.
However, where the problem arises only because of the ineptness of Adobe's ADEPT DRM infrastructure and its implementation,
such a measure is totally justifiable.

Using adobe digital editions for the computer to download books to kobo touch ereader?

Can you help me. My kobo touch software is 1.9.17. (r37581 3/16/12) model no. N905B27210158.

Hi Jeff and Gibert.. I had the same issue but knew that my system prefs were fine... I found the workaround... just below is a link that will take you to a page to do a manual download... both for Mac and Windows. I did it last night and was able to open my files properly in Adobe Digital Edition. Hope that helps!

Adobe digital editions keeps trying to install itself,

I am running Windows 7 64 bit, my OS is a fresh install (3 weeks old). At random times during computer use, adobe digital editions attempts to install itself (even though it is already installed) and then multiple error messages spawn saying 'an instance of adobe editions 4.02 installer is already running'. Sometimes this will spawn 20+ error messages even if I immediately hit the cancel button on the installer.
I've gone through my entire computer and deleted every instance of the editions installer exe, checked my startup in msconfig, ran malwarebytes; spybot; security essentials; emptied temporary files; uninstalled digital editions and tried installing using the prompt.
The prompt seems to occur more often after starting my computer up, sometimes I will receive a chain of 3-4 separate instances in the first 5-10 minutes of boot. But the installer does then also randomly occur during regular computer use, even when idle. This is becoming incredibly frustrating as it the installer forces my screen to itself, dragging me out of whatever program i was using at the time.
Any help would be much appreciated, please let me know if I can provide more information in solving this stupid issue.

Well I found my own solution, it may help you as well. When I got the install error, I opened up task manager and switched over to the 'processes' tab. I selected one of the instances of the error, right clicked and hit 'open file location'.
This took me to the file within my windows user folder, which seemed to be some partially installed temp file. Delete that file (shift+delete) and the stupid problem should go away.

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.

Do I need Adobe Digital Editions 2 and 3. on my computer?

Recently I was going through 'Programs and Features' and realized I had Adobe Digital Editions 2 and 3 installed. Are both needed. I am running Vista on Windows 7 (64 bit).
I have medical memory problems and am finding Chrome to be challenging.
I also wonder if this could be related to the problem I am having with not being able to open Adobe Reader. I have the JavaScript all figured out and am trying everything I can think of to open Adobe Reader. I am open to any suggestions.
Because of my problems all replys need to be in English (not in computer jargon) and in a 1, 2, 3 sequence. Sorry to be troublesome but thats me.
Thanks to all who want to give it a try.

I had the same issue. I uninstalled version 2 and my program ran fine. Well, it still has the same problem I had with version 2, which is why I'm in the forums right now, but you don't need both versions. I don't know if having both will cause issues or not (some extensions and apps have this issue) from what I saw, downloading version 3 did not update version 2. You just got another ADE program that was a bit newer.
However, I'm not an expert. This is just what I experienced by uninstalling it. I highly doubt you'd have a problem. And if you do have some weird issue from it? Uninstall all ADE programs from your computer, and then reinstall the most current version available. Should fix you right up. Good luck!

Why Adobe digital Edition does not accept my Adobe ID for authorisation my Computer?

Hello, who has experience in this question?

Most like answer is my first below. Second added as a possible solution if the first doesn't work.
1) ~~~~~
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.
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. 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
2) ~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

I have adobe digital edition 2.0 and I am trying to authorize my erreader, but I am unable to find the 'manage library' before I open ADE.

I have adobe digital edition v2.0 and I am trying to authorize my erreader, but I am unable to find the 'manage library' before I open ADE. Where to I find the 'manage library'? and should I upgrade the ADE to version v1.7.2.?

To make Mail quit you'll need to perform a forced quit or, failing that, a forced shutdown.
When an application won't quit you can hold the Command and Option keys together and then type the ESC key. This (usually) brings up a dialog with all the running applications. Select the offending program and click the Force Quit button.
If this doesn't force the application to quit (quite rare) or if you cannot get the Force Quit Dialog to pop up, hold the power button for about 10 seconds to shut down the entire computer. This should be a last resort but sometimes is necessary.

We are trying to install Adobe Digital Editions 4.O. it errors each time.

The application will not install.
We are using Microsoft Windows XP Professional
The message that comes up is Adobe Digital Editions 4.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We did this. We then rebooted the computer and tried to install again.
The same error occurs.
How do you install this on Widows XP?

Please try the new release of ADE (link: http://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions/download.html)
Some important kobo related bugs/crashes are fixed in this release.
I hope it fixes your crash issue as well.
Let me know if it works for you.

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??

My iTunes doesn't have a section for authorizing my computer so that I can download my music? Help please.

Adobe digital editions activation errer server for my computer, what do I do

adobe digital editions activation errer server for my computer, what do I do

You can do it with Calibre. http://calibre-ebook.com/
You can do it in one step very easily without too much control,
or via HTML, add your style sheet manually, then to epub (I haven't tried this).
In fact, Calibre will also transfer to an ereader and no need to use ADE at all.
(I only use ADE rather than Calibre where there is a DRM file involved.)
There are quite a few other software that will do it as well.
