Hi,
For some reason I am no longer able to open ebooks downloaded from my library on my Adobe Digital Editions 4.0. Book downloads and when I attempt to open I receive this message. Any suggestions for how to fix this?
Thank you,Sharon

Try deactivating and reactivating. Use the instructions on this page (even though the error message is different, the fix is the same). : Error "E_AUTH_NOT_READY" | Digital Editions . The bit under the disclaimer in the Windows section is a second way to remove the activation and was what I had to do on my computer.

Thank you for the recommendation. I probably should have stated this issue
is on a laptop running Windows 7.
After Command + Shift+D I then selected Erase Authorization and receive the

I tried using my Adobe login information for Vendor Login ID and my
password, but it seems to want something else.

I had the same problem. Also running Windows 7. Ignore the part of the instructions that wants you to deactivate using the software and go on to do the stuff under the disclaimer, making sure that the Digital Editions software is closed. Editing the registry manually removes the activation from your system.
This is the part you want:
