I bought a new computer, because the other one is broken. Adobe Digital Edition won't let me use it on the new computer? Any suggestions?

I've tried asking a staff member but he told me there is no support for ADE. Because the ADE account was on my old computer, it doesn't recognize the new computer and won't let me use it. I know I'm supposed to be able to have one account on multiple devices, but I have no idea how to add my new computer. : (

This reason behind this error message. This device is activated with an Anonymous account which has a unique UUID stored in the registry. When you try to activate the same machine with different Adobe ID (UUID), this error message will be thrown.
Solution1: Deactivate the anonymous account and activate with the existing Adobe ID
Note: In this case, the books you have fulfilled with the Anonymous account will be permanently lost.
If you like to continue reading the books fulfilled by Anonymous account, you have to follow solution 2
Solution 2: You have to assign the UUID of anonymous ID to newly created Adobe ID. For more information please refer to, Adobe Digital Editions – Anonymous Activation
Hope this solves your issue.

Thank you, Dominic. That's what I thought. How do I add the new computer? Do I go into my Adobe account? I'm trying to open a book rented from my library. The error says "Your computer is not authorized to open {the book} because it is authorized to a vendor ID" Is this a different problem?

The book you are trying to fulfill might be authorized with different Vendor ID.
