I've just upgraded to ADE 2.0 and can no longer open .acsm files. I've tried to associate ADE 2.0 to .acsm files via Windows 7 control panel and 'open with' but when I click ok, nothing happens - no error message but no acceptance of the association

Windows association seems to do that sometimes. Really irritating.
I think it is a Windows bug, not an ADE one.
You could try making a shortcut to ADE, for example on the desktop, and associate with that instead of the .exe itself.
Of, if you are already doing that, try to directly associate with the .exe (probably "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions 2.0\DigitalEditions.exe")
Very likely won't work, but worth a try.
As a workaround, you can drag-drop .acsm files from Explorer onto ADE2.0.
Unfortunately, ctrl-O or menu Open does not work.

Tried to associate shortcut with the same result - nothing happened. Also unsuccessfully tried 'drag and drop'. Error message : <Licence Server Communication Problem : E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED>

E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED could mean that a library loan has expired.
It can also happen if you get times or times-zones wrong.
There are quite a few bugs introduced in V2.0 that were not there in v1.7.2.
If you don't need the new features of V2.0, you might find an install of 1.7.2.
You can have both installed at once.
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
