Server Communication Problem

I have my first development multifolio magazine app in the Newsstand. On first launch of the app (using the installed .ipa in the sandbox environment), the library updates and the first issue appears correctly. Tapping on it and choosing subscribe, or alternatively, tapping on the Subscribe banner, allows me to use my test user which I set up in iTunes Connect. It asks the pertinent questions, which I allow, but at the end I get the following error:
Server Communication Problem - Your subscription was successfully purchased. Unfortunately we encountered an error while determining which issues are available for download. Your subscription will be applied the next time the library successfully updates.
I have a Free subscription set up for this app. There are no retail subscriptions. I can download the issue successfully without subscribing but I'm trying to nail down this subscription issue.
I'm not sure what to look at to begin to solve this issue.
The app is also currently in review and was kicked back today by Apple for having en empty storefront, which, from the screenshot they sent me, did not pull in the first issue, but showed "Purchasing Subscription..." at the top of the screen. I can only assume the problems are related.
I've rebuilt my app in the DPS App Builder, uploaded to my iPad, and still have the same issue. All of my certificates seem valid.
Anyone have any experience with solving this one?
Thanks.
Rob

As an additional thought. I had intended for this app to have only a free subscription for the first year and did not set up the retail banking contracts, only the free contract in iTunes Connect. Therefore, there was never a link to a shared secret. My reading in the forums with this error previously applied to paid subs or free subs using the shared secret. I know I didn't so I'm thinking this may be my problem. I've processed the banking/tax contract with iTunes and when complete my thinking is to fold this into the app.
Am I on the right track?

    Charles P.: Okay, what you need to do unfortunately, is contact Adobe at  http://www.adobe.com and they will need to get your license issue resolved.
    Charles P.: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
    Me: title of error is    Unable to Download
    Me: i dont see how that would be an adobe problem?
    Charles P.: I understand, but it appears that the reason for the download issue is because of the license error the license is related to the Adobe Digital editions software. I understand how this could be confusing but it's due to the authorization of the ADE software. Adobe would need to correct your account issue with the license
    Me: ok but i thought this was a free license from adobe??!!  this is just a digital editions reader, right??
    Charles P.: That is correct it is a free license but your account has to be associated with one license and yes the Digital edition is a ebook reader that our ebooks use for you to view

    Well, just for the halibut I tried opening the book again today and , GLORY BE!,  it worked.
    Guess it may have taken overnight for Adobe to OK my license to their free ADE software. Also works now using Bluefire app as the reader on my android phone, although it was a pain
    to get the book file in the right file folder for bluefire to see it.
    I hope that time also heels the issue with all other Error Getting License users.

    Unable to download Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY.  Cannot open ebooks on my Adobe DE.  How do I fix this?

    I had the exact same problem & this worked for me. All I needed was the first step. Good luck!!!! (copied from another thread):
    "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.

    I had version 1.7 (win 7, 64bit) working fine until this morning.  Books downloaded ok from both local library using overdrive and school library using EBL.  Then one *.ascm file failed to load citing an IO error on network request.
    I followed the instructions at OverDrive | What to do if there is an "IO Error... and this didn't work.  Same error still appeared.
    Next tried upgrading to most recent version of Digital Editions, which migrated in my borrowed books and my authorisation okay.  Tried clearing cache and ensuring every adblock etc still turned off, redownloaded the *.ascm and got a new Check! Activation error....
    I removed my authorisation, then closed, reopened and reauthorised and then cleared files as per Overdrive link above...  now getting

  • 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.

    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:

    Action: Allow the connection

    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.

    Adobe Digital Editions Communications Error When Downloading PDF from Overdrive (and maybe elsewhere too):
    If you get an “error getting license server communication problem” message in Adobe Digital Editions:
    1.  Try downloading any of the PDF files from Adobe here: http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-editions/eBook.html
    2.  Now re-download the book from Overdrive
    3.  Enjoy!!
    I figured this out after many, many hours of frustration . .  hope it helps!!
