If you have a previous version of Adobe Digital Editions already installed, you can replace it with a new version. Installation is primarily the same as described in 4.2.1 above. The installation program will ask you whether you want to include books in the old version with the new version. If you select Yes, previously downloaded books will also be available for reading in the new version. The program does not need to be re-authorised - the previous authorisations will be automatically used.
The reader program is activated for use with your Adobe ID. When you use the same ID with other devices, you can transfer e-book files and borrowing rights between them.
The program is activated by selecting "Help" and "Authorize Computer” on the top menu or by pressing
Apple+Shift+U (Mac OSX) and
ctrl+shift+U (Windows).
Enter the email address and password given when creating your Adobe ID account.

ctrl+shift+D (Windows)
