I am having issues logging into Digital Editions using my Adobe ID. I created this ID with my old computer that I no longer own. I need to access an e-book with my new computer now. I get an error "You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices. Please try again.
How do I disengage my old computer and engage my current computer. I only have one email account to associate with this.
Thank you.

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.
