"to preview this ebook, you must first authorize this computer for adobe drm protected content. would you like to authorize this computer now?"

I type in my Adobe digital editions info, and it never works. I've tried 10+ times now. I keep getting the message "this computer is not authorized to view this page"

I remember way back with my old laptop that I had to register my computer as one of 6 devices allowed by Sony, but I cant remember how I did this before and the new computer hasn't been registered in any way like this. I wonder if this is the problem?

Can anyone tell me where I am supposed to go to register my computer as one of my 6 permitted devices?

I am in the UK, if that makes any difference. I can't find anything on the Sony website beyond adding a new product (ie another sony reader)

(bolded text is my emphasis)

Hi, cpj. I have a couple of pics that may help.

Thanks for your help. I don't mean to be obtuse, but I don't see any login area when I open the Reader Library, anywhere. The only account I can log into through the reader library software is my Waterstones account, and it just deals with books I've bought from there rather than any way to manage devices.

I don't know if this helps but this pic shows an area where you register the Reader. Maybe it has an area to "manage devices".

I hope I understood what you were asking and this helps.
