Adobe Digital Editions - Problem

Nabeel · 11-21-2022, 07:28 AM

(Apologies - I can't see where this would fit in Mobile Read.)

I've been downloading ebooks from various sources (Kobo, Googleplay, Hive) for years without problems.

Yesterday, my Adobe Digital Editions refused to accept three downloads from two different sources. A pop-up stated: Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ADEPT_INTERNAL (I get several variations on this.)

I looked around a bit. Other people are having this problem. The only patched-up solution seems to be to upgrade ADE to the latest, and then to de-authorize and re-authorize ADE. I've done this several times, and it's still not working.

Has anyone got any other ideas?

The adobe community discussion is here:

The Adobe website seems to be designed to prevent you actually communicating with anyone who could make a difference.

best wishes to all

I hit a similar problem a few days ago. As it was a licence server communications problem I emailed Bolinda Digital (they go under the name of Borrowbox and provide a service to my Library.

They quickly sorted the problem out and all now works as it should.

Clearly an issue in the book hosting company and Adobe having some sort of comms problem. From what I have seen elsewhere it's pointless trying to raise the issue with Adobe - get on the the firm you have downloaded the book from.

I've had this problem before. The solution was to wait and try later and eventually it worked.

Yep, it's solved itself. But it is extremely irritating that Adobe acts with such carelessness.
