This gets a bit tougher because it depends upon the OS, the browser (or the other software used) to access the store, the preferences for the browser, and exactly what happened when (or if) the .acsm file got downloaded.
It's supposed to go something like this. The site generates a link* and clicking on the link will cause the .acsm file to get downloaded. Where it gets downloaded and if ADE will start will depend upon the browser, the default download directory for the browser, etc... and I'm not sure enough of the various browsers to state authoritatively what all the defaults are, but generally it's on your desktop folder in Windows, and either on your desktop or more recently in your Downloads folder on Mac.
Then also depending on your preferences and the browser ADE or Sony EBL (if you have it installed) will be launched. There is a good discussion of both Safari for Mac and Opera problems and workarounds in the
ADE 1.7.1 Release Notes
One more quirk, ADE on Windows will delete the .acsm file after opening it. ADE on Mac will leave it alone.

Adobe's sample library for an example.
