ACSM file ending Windows unable to open them

[Storm]

I am trying to download some eBooks from my Library.

They download with the File ending ACSM and Windows 7 64bit is unable to open them .

Have done Google search and apparently I need a program called Adobe Digital Edition.

Can somebody help me please with the exact instructions how to do all this ,so I am able to open the eBooks.

Thanks .Storm.

Yes, that is correct. An .acsm file is an "Adobe Content Server Message" file. It can be opened by Adobe Digital Editions. You can download this free program from the Adobe website.

And here are the instructions to use this program.

Thank you Sepiana.

The Install operation went well & I thought I had done the other part correctly.

My e book was in My Documents but when I went to Open it got an Error Message.

Digital Editions unable to download.

Error getting license

License Server Communication Problem:  E_ADEPT_REQUEST_EXPIRED

It did ask for a Vendor ID and I did not give one .

I was frantically thinking what was the correct full name of my Library.

Only a second went by & then I got this Error.

The icon or picture that was shown AFTER clicking on Open was " Getting Started with Adobe Editions " not the Library book.

The file was named " Cottage at Glass Beach " but there was a brown ADE icon on the front which was not there before.

Hope you can understand my explanation Sepiana I am anything but technical.

Thank you Sepiana .

Its bedtime here & I have a Doctors apt noontime so I will check it all out tomorrow evening.

I think I am going to go back to paperbacks its a lot less stressful. 

I don't really want to read ebooks on my Windows desktop, but as I am having trouble getting used to my I PAD

I thought I would try out the process on here.

Thanks.  Storm

Good morning Sepiana I realized that my email address which I used for my ID when I joined Adobe around 10 years ago is an old one and no longer Valid.

Would it be better if I changed this email address with Adobe before I try to sort out the Error message that I got with ADE ?

Maybe this mistake might have caused this error message.

Thanks.  Storm
