Check Activation

[taozibub]

Recently, my Digital Editions stopped working completely, and would no longer open. I tried restarting my laptop, verifying files, all of that, and it still would not open. Upon uninstalling and reinstalling, every time I try and add a book to Digital Editions, I get an "Error! Check Activation" message. My computer and Digital Editions are registered, and I have absolutely no idea how to open books anymore. In desperate need to know how to fix this, as I use Digital Editions a lot for my work, and I am now seriously behind due to the application not working, and now even more behind due to this. Thanks.
