This is my issue.
Since my 3M Cloud Reader desktop app for Windows recently updated to PC version 2.1.17 I can no longer download books from any of my 3 library Overdrive accounts (Says "Check Activation!") . I also can I no longer open/return OD books from ADE & get an activation error.
Both 3M & OD use to work off the same ADE ID & 3M/Cloud books & OD books both downloaded to the desktop ADE app. This is no longer the case. In Windows, 3M/Cloud now downloads to C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\Bibliotheca\cloudLib rary\PROD\ebooks.
When the 3M app update installs it asks if you want to use a 3M generated ID or your own unique ID to authorize ADE. I choose my own ADE ID as this is the same ID I have used in the past for both 3M/Cloud & OD. Now 3M works with this ID & downloads properly but Overdrive does not. While my computer has only 1 authorized ADE ID it does not appear to work for any of my Overdrive library accounts any longer.
I did post this in another thread not realizing it was quite old. So, sorry for the repetition.

Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention. My experience is slightly different. However, I am using the Mac version.
When I updated Cloud Library to v2.1.17, it did not ask me about using a 3M generated ID. It just updated to the new version like it has for previous updates.
On a Mac the EPUB now downloads to the folder path:
Users\username\Library\Application Support\Bibliotheca\cloudLibrary\PROD\ebooks.
I did not have any issues with Adobe authorizations. I was able to import the EPUB file into Adobe Digital Editions so I can transfer it to my Kobo. I am also still able to check out EPUB files from Overdrive and import them into Digital Editions like normal.
In summary, the only difference for me is that the Cloud Library now downloads the EPUB file into an annoyingly buried hidden file path causing one the extra step of having to import it into Digital Edition for transfer to one of my ereaders. I don't want to read the book on my desktop in the Cloud Library software.
