I have been trying to download an acsm file this morning, and initially got the error "error! Check activation?"
I was unable to get ADE 3.5 to authorise, so I downloaded and installed the latest version (4.5), and was still unable to authorise.
I've uninstalled both version, reinstalled 4.5, tried deleting the registry key for Adept, as suggested in another thread, re-opened ADE and tried again.
Every time, the first try get an error - "Digital Editions cannot connect to the Activation server. Please make sure you are connected to the internet." - Obviously, I am, I am posting here.
When I click Try Again it says Authorising your Computer, but doesn't get any further than that. It just keeps trying.
I was just interrupted by a 28 minute call, and it's still trying.
I hope this is fixed soon, since I'm sure that as so many people are posting similar problems that it's a server issue, not us.

oh wow, today it works! I would say that there was a problem with the server that has been fixed. It will be interesting to see if all of the other people posting similar things are able to get them to work now.
Thanks for your help anyway!

No. the problem has not been resolved! Its the 14th January 2016. For some reason my laptop needed to be reauthorised. Ive done nothing to chnage it! I entered my user ID and password but received the message Activation Server Error. code: E-Auth_Not_Ready. to retry click on the Try Again button. I have on a number of times but still get the same error message.
a) why did I have to reauthorise my latop when it had already been authorised last year?
b) why wont the authorisation work?.
