Deauthorizing an adobe id

[Guest]

My husband downloaded an ebook to add to Adobe Digital Editions. I wanted to run it on my computer, however, I accidently typed in the wrong Adobe id into Adobe Digital Editions. Is there anyway that I can "deauthorize" my computer in order to put in the Adobe id that was used initially to purchase the ebook?

Thank you,

Annette

Ctrl-Shift-D (Windows)

Cmd-Shift-D (Mac)

Note: deauthorizing does not increase your activation count.

When and where do you use the Cmd=Shift-D command to deauthorize a computer?

Start Adobe Digital Edition then use:

Ctrl-Shift-D (Windows)

Cmd-Shift-D (Mac)

to Deauthorize ADE

Then enter your new authorization ID.

I have done this but it keeps saying try again later...literally. I know my password is correct as I have checked it. Any suggestions?

If due to some reason, you are unable to deauthorize ADE, follow the below steps:

Mac: Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

ADE will be deauthorized now.

Now Authorize ADE again.

Windows:

Choose Start > Run.

In the Open text box, type regedit and then press Enter. The Registry Editor opens.

In the left pane of the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept

Right-click the Adept key and choose Delete.

In the Confirm Key Delete dialog, click OK.

Your authorization will be deleted.

ADE will be deauthorized now.

Now Authorize ADE again.

Hope this works !!
