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 just downloaded a book from my local library and every time I try to open the download I get a message reading:
    Unable To Download. Error Getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can successfully open my download.
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem. Just installed Adobe Digital Editions 4 on my Windows 8.1 computer and can't get to ADE's to download or return books to my library. The Overdrive app seems to be working fine but ADE's won't start? I don't get the open pop up. Books I have checked out of the library show in ADE's when I go to it independently. Sure hope someone has an answer.

    This error indicates a problem with the eBook file. It is not caused by ADE or your computer. Please notify your library of this or contact the distributor.

    I am trying to download a library book (Epub ebook) into my Mac laptop. I have updated my Adobe Edition to 4.0. I keep getting this message

    Press Command+Shift+D to deauthorize Adobe Digital Editions.
    Select Erase Authorization.
    Click OK and Quit Adobe Digital Editions.
    Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.
    I am stuck on  Erase Authorization.  After I choose erase authorization another message pops up: Unable to  Erase Authorization. Please try again after some time. I tried all day in fact I even went to the Apple Store where a staff member was also unable to get any further!!

    What I did was deauthorized and reauthorized my ADE, both the device and computer. It worked. I was able to download my books onto my e-reader. Here is a link to what I did Deauthorizing and reauthorizing Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 on your computer and your reader | Washington County Coopera…
    I would think that it shouldn't matter if the ADE is 2.0 or 3.0.

  • Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY

    HI ( I'm using mac with adobe digital additions)
    every time i try to open a ACSM file, (to be able to download the book) i am confronted with the error message
    Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem:
    E_ACT_NOT_READY
    It doesnt matter where i download the file from weather they are free books or ones that i have purchased
    it wont let me open to download it. I have authorised my account and it says there is not a problem with my account.
    This Computer Is Already Authorised and can download content from the following account **********
    i have tried re-downloading the file and opening it immediately while the website is open in my safari browser with no luck
    i am using the same email account for the adobe and for the sign in for the books website so i don't think there is a link there
    I am hoping someone can help me as I've purchased medical textbooks for thousands of dollars and am unable to open them.

    If due to some reason, you are unable to deauthorize ADE, follow the below steps:
    Mac:
    1. Go-> Go to folder.
    Go to folder dialog will appear.
    2. Type   ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions
    drag the activation.dat file to the trash.
    ADE will be deauthorized now.
    Now Authorize ADE again.
    ADE will be deauthorized now.
    Now Authorize ADE again.
    Windows:
    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
    Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.
    In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.
    Your authorization will be deleted.
    ADE will be deauthorized now.
    Now Authorize ADE again.

    Hi
    I've got a similar problem.  iTunes v10.2 worked fine, but when I tried to update it to 10.5 I got a 'Bonjour' error.  I eventually solved that but I still couldn't upgrade to 10.5, so I deleted every single Apple, Quicktime, iTunes, etc file on my PC using Revo Unistaller (because the normal Windows Add/Delete programs wouldn't work) but now, when I install the latest iTunes version from scratch (on XP SP3), it says: "the installer encountered errors before it could be configured.... your system has not been modified" 
    Any ideas?
