What seems to be a huge problem? You don't have to have 6 readers to use, say, 6 activations... There's one per reader, one per computer and (if used) one per phone or other mobile device activated. Have you always deactivated any devices returned?

It does actually say that there are a limited number of activations for ADE as this is designed to stop people giving things away, wouldn't exactly be DRM if it didn't protect/impose limits on the number of places you can put things.

It also seems a bit of a knee-jerk reflex to blame Sony when it's ADE and exactly the same thing would have occurred with any other additional device you tried to activate.

All you need to do is contact Sony?Adobe and, as mentioned elsewhere in this forum, they will arrange additional activations.

When I downloaded the $10 book, that I bought, the reader software said I needed to authorize the reader, before I could get it on my Sony... So.. I authorized and got the message 'too many authorizations.

I then unstalled Sony reader Software, ADE... ran the registry 'fixer'. Deleted thing in the 'restore' on ADE... downloaded everything again, and I still get the same message...

I am so frustrated, and wish I had never bought a Sony...
