ADE authorization Windows 10

[garybo123]

Finally got 4.51 to open. Next problem: E_adept_request_expired. Here's what I've done:

1. uninstall ADE

2. export Adept reg key

3. delete same reg key

4. reboot

5. re-install 4.5 as admin; install details show "completed"

6. open ADE, library view

7. ctrl-shift-D to delete activation; no message, so not activated

8. associate acsm and epub files with ADE

9. download NEWLY requested epub library book, today's date, time and time zone

10. click on acsm file: opens ADE and requests authorization

11. attempt with Adobe ID and Overdrive ID: error msg: E_adept_request_expired

12. authorize without ID doesn't work

13. create Adobe ID and I forgot password don't work and freezes the app.

I can manually add an epub book and read it in ADE, no problem, so the program is working, the activation seems to be blocked, probably on my end.

What step can I next try?

thanks,

After installation the registry shows:

Adobe Digital Editions

  default value not set

  LatestAvailableVersion 4.5.1

  LatestInstalledVersion 4.5.1

Adobe Digital Editions 4.5

  default value not set

  ConfigPath, EnableAutoUpdate, Features1-4, FeaturesPath, ReaderState, UpdaterPath

Digital Editions

  default, InstallPath

I believe my prior registration had info about my pc being recognized?

OK, time for the pros to come to my rescue!

thanks,

Gary

I've found this: users>name>roaming>Adept. There are two dat files, one for 2014 and one for 2015.

Might I delete these and retry authorization?

If that doesn't work, uninstall 4.5, reinstall and retry authorization?

[garybo123]

I deleted the above Adept files- didn't help-

Uninstalled ADE

Ran chkdsk and sfc repairs

Reinstalled ADE- the program works but authorization does not.

The program won't let me choose a NEW email and password. Any idea how I can do this?

Also still can't register with Overdrive ID/ password.

I ran a diagnostic program based on dependencies with these results. Perhaps someone can ferret out a file that is corrupted/ not working?

I would like to get a NEW authorization but when I click on "Gat an Adobe ID", ADE freezes and closes!! Can I go to the Adobe site and sign up with a NEW ID and password??

[garybo123]

I meant sign up FOR a new ID and password.

If you get still E_adept_request_expired should check the time, date and the timezone of your system.

[garybo123]

First, thanks for responding.

I just turned on "Set time automatically", and "Set time zone automatically". Certainly it couldn't be that simple. I've followed your same instruction to many, many others. I've always just checked my clock/date in the lower right corner and it has been correct. Maybe there's another "system" time/clock?

You had others use "run" and type in a location to go to to check the time/date/timezone.

Can you tell me those instructions?

I really really appreciate your help.

[garybo123]

THAT WORKED.   I've spent 5 days trying many things.  It seemed that turning on the "set time/time zone automatically" did the trick.

I just downloaded a library book. My life is back on track.

THANKS !!!!!!!
