I am trying to download a book from University Readers, and I accidentally clicked that I want to authorize without using an Adobe ID. Now it says it's unable to download because there is an 'error getting license'. I think I have an Adobe ID, so I need to be able to go back and input it instead of authorizing the computer to download without the ID. But now every time I restart and try to pull it up, it automatically comes up with that error and won't even let me choose to sign in.
