I tried this too and it didn't work! I deactivated and re-activated and I still get the same error message as above! I get it on my Windows LENOVO ideapad 320 lap-top and my Samsung Galaxy J6+ phone. It's really annoying! Do you have any other solutions?

This solved some weeks ago. Today, reopening ADE i got the same problem. so I again dragged the activation.dat file to the trash, then reopened ADE, but when i authorize the computer now appears a window saying wrong "Wrong id or password for this selected ebook supplier. Try again".

Very very boring!

Is it possible that every time you open ADE you get the same problem? This make the program useless!

Not Adobe Style!

Because ADE have sometimes problem with any passwords. Better you used a Password with letters and numbers. This is all.

I have the same problem as reported: Adobe Digital Editions won't open the ACSM-file. Instead, every time I try, the program crashes.

I have already uninstalled en re-installed ADE and I have the latest version.

I have also un-authorised my PC en re-autorised it again.

Is there any kind of update on what to do if adobe digital editions is unable to open an ACSM file?

Not sure if it's a good idea to de-authorize an entire machine, or to do a registry edit, just to test if that solution might work. You could lose access to books you already have.

In my case the ACSM file is visible, and Adobe Digital Editions sees it, but when I tell ADE to "add file" to the library, nothing happens. No error message. Nothing.
