Hello,
I'm having some issues regarding opening epub files in the digital editions program.
The file is an epub file, which is recommended to use this program to open. I need this for school work.
I'm getting the 'Error! Check Activation' message everytime I attempt to open this file.
I've attempted to deactive, reactive, but the program gives me an error, and tells me to retry again later.
I've also attempted to reinstall multiple times, and still no success.
I've attempted to delete the key file from the registry, and also had problems where it wouldn't let me delete it.
I would attempt to install an older version, but for my class I need this current version of Digital Editions.
Any help is much appreciated,
Thank you for your time.
