2. Re: Digital Editions 4.0 Win 8.1 "error! check activation"
wildoatz Nov 23, 2014 6:37 PM (in response to reddogs)Well looking through the forum I see quite a few "error check activation" posts spanning a couple of years with no answers. I was able to sort of solve my problem.by deauthorizing my laptop and reauthorizing it again. Now when I try to borrow a book from Open Library I get a message that I've taken out the book but not opened it in Digital Editions with a link to download the book again.I download the book again and when I get to message if I want to open or save I pick open and it finally opens up in Digital Editions. I already have Digital Editions open when I do this. Don't know if this helps you or not but it's worth a try since it looks like we are not going to get much help here.
I've written to Open Library complaining about the fact that borrowing books from them is dependent on Digital Editions which seems to have problems and seems to be unsupported by Adobe.

Janet Aldrich Nov 24, 2014 4:42 AM (in response to wildoatz)Thanks. I tried that but no go. I'm still getting the error. Very frustrating, since Open Library won't allow anything else to open the files. Has anyone had any luck with Overdrive?

wildoatz Nov 24, 2014 12:10 PM (in response to Janet Aldrich)Sorry that didn't work for you Janet. Maybe if more people complained to Open Library about this, this issue would get resolved. From looking at older posts it seems to go back to vers. 2.0 of Digital Editions.

Janet Aldrich Nov 25, 2014 4:28 AM (in response to wildoatz)I wound up downloading the .PDF file through OverDrive on my Kindle. *sigh* Will complain to OL, because Adobe could obviously just give ****.
