I have a new computer and I can't authorize it for Adobe Digital Editions because my Adobe ID is still associated with the old computer.    The old computer is not operable so I can't use it do de-authorize that computer.  I don't want to create a new Adobe ID because I don't want to create a new email address just to do that and my current email is already associated with an Adobe ID.

I'm not sure if this is for you but I have a similar problem with my activation. I am activated and everything but when I try to get the books I bought 2 hours!! ago it says "check activation". So I can read them on my phone but not the (new) computer. Help and support is useless, I suggest that you check with where ever you bought the books originally and download to your computer if you did not at the time. Then, find another reader, that is the only way I can get to my books right now. Good luck, please post if you figure a better way.

Thanks.

My books are loans from my local public library and the required app is Digital Editions, so I need a solution that lets me access Digital Editions.

Ik geraak tot stap 6. Doch in stap 7 krijg ik nergens iets te zien over exportbereik. Ik weet niet hoe ik verder moet.

Kan iemand mij helpen.

[Kristin27281373q6rd]

Bij exportbereik staat wel:

1. Alles of
2. geselecteerde subsleutel

En na de keuze, waar moet ik naartoe exporteren?

[Kristin27281373q6rd]

Hallo sorry voor de verwarring. Blijkbaar automatische woorden

er staat:

1. alles
2.  geselecteerde subsleutel

Ik geef het momenteel op. Het zou fijn zijn als iemand mij kan helpen.

Goede avond en slaapwel
