No valid Password, Adobe Acrobat closes

Hi,
My Acrobat 6 suddenly says "No valid Acrobat Serial Number - Acrobat will now Quit - OK",
I can go no further and Acrobat closes down with an error box that there was a problem with Acrobat,
Did I wish to inform Microsoft?,
I cannot find where to re enter the password
I have tried reloading but I started with 4 then upgraded to 5 then to 6 but putting in the previous CD does not work
more often than not it freezes the PC
I have the packaging and the passwords
Windows XP sp3, 8GB Ram, 16TB discs
any ideas than than killing off all the installations and starting from version 4 again???
No answers so I deleted all Adobe files and reloaded Version 4 and all the upgrades - it now works
I lost my love of Adove Acrobat when trying to fatham out the Corporation Tax version issued by HMRC
Could they make it more difficult?
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem as Oxbay - but, I do have the CD & the serial number. When reinstalling the program, it just loads, never gives me the opportunity to save to a specific drive (which caused the problem in the first place), enter the serial number, or ask which type of installation (full or custom). I use the program erratically so no intention of upgrading to 8.0 Professional, but do need the program. You can't get into the "Help" section for a detect or repair issue. Any other suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you!

Adobe Acrobat closes after error...

I am getting the following error each time I open Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional...
"An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application."
I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the program. It didn't help, got the same error shortly after opening the program.
What is strange is that the problem just suddenly appeared therefore, I believe that it may have been malware related causing this problem. And I have had this program and have been using it without any problems now for over 3 years.
It appears that a vital part of the program is being blocked.
Can anyone please help and offer a detailed solution to this problem? Maybe someone has already encountered it.
Thank you!

Adobe Acrobat - "No valid serial number found. Acrobat will quit now" message

I moved some things around on my computer from the C drive to the D drive to make space, including Adobe Acrobat professional 6.0. Now, when I go to open it, I get the message "No valid serial number found. Acrobat will quit now". I have tried moving everything back to where it was, but that does not work. I do not have the CD to reinstall it, but I do have the serial number. Where do I go to enter the serial number? After the message pops up, Acrobat closes altogether and will not let me do anything.

Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Just recently when I launch Acrobat X after about 10 seconds I get this error, "Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I can create PDFs and open PDFs for 10 seconds. I've done a repair of Acrobat, I tried a new user account, and I disbled all my start up items. I still get the same error I have no clue what to do. Any suggestions?

OK Will, I pressed ctrl + Shift and double clicked on a desktop icon of a file.pdf I had saved there and it opened and is still open. By not pressing ctrl + Shift the file opens then closes with that error in about10 seconds.
So now, what has that proved to us is the issue? Doesn't that load Acrobat without all the extensions?
This issue just started a few days ago and all I remember installing on my computer were some Window's updates.

Error: adobe acrobat elements has encountered a problem and needs to close

When I right-click to Convert to PDF or Convert to PDF and EMail for .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .pptx, .ppt, .pub, and .igx items (what I've tried so far), I get the following error: "Adobe acrobat elements has encountered a problem and needs to close". It works fine on .bmp .tif, .txt, .htm, and .jpg (what I've tried so far). I am not having problems printing to Adobe to convert, nor am I having problems creating a PDF within a program, and I'm not having problems converting from IE. I am using Windows XP Professional, Microsoft 2007, and IE 7. My Adobe product is Adobe Acrobat X Pro Version 10.1.2. What can I do to resolve this problem? Thanks.

No, I don't have an older version. I did a search on my C drive for anything that has a name of Acrobat Elements and came up with the following: (I'm hoping you can see this)

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hi!
I'd like to start using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 with Acrobat.com, but I don't get very far before I get the error message "
Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close." This happens after I click "distribute form" and fill out the email addresses. It get to the point of starting to publish the response files and then the error message pops up and I can't go any further. I've made sure to uninstall older versions of Acrobat and I restarted my computer. I have a PC and am running Windows XP and IE 7. Help!

Bill:
Thanks for all the tips. Actually I already did most of this (multiple times) to no avail.
·         I’m running Win XP Pro SP3 on a Dell Latitude D630 laptop with 2GB memory.
·         I Bought Acrobat 7 Standard (it came bundled with my scanner) so I do have that CD and the key
·         I purchased the upgrade to Acrobat 9 Standard on-line for $99.
·         Actually, everything was working fine until I uninstalled ATM. (I did that because my laptop wouldn’t undock or hibernate and I read that ATM could be the cause.)
·         I’ve done several repairs from Control Panel. Didn’t help.
·         Finally, this morning I decided to uninstall everything and install a trial version of Adobe 9 PRO from their web site. That didn’t work either.
·         I notice that none of these actions has brought ATM back. On the other hand, I can’t find a place from where I can download ATM either.
Here’s the really funny thing. Acrobat is not completely broken. I can actually get it to work for the first few seconds. And if I type real fast, I can even save the pdf file that it opens before it crashes! For example, if I click on a pdf file on a web page and it is small enough that it opens right away, I can click the save button and hit OK immediately (don’t mind where it saves the file, I can find and move it later) before I get the “Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” message. The same happens if I just open Acrobat and let it sit. It doesn’t crash immediately. It takes about 5 seconds before it does.
This should give a clue as to where/why it is crashing.
Tomorrow I’m going to try and get Adobe on a chat line and have them take a look.
Let me know if you get any other good ideas. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Thanks,
Jamshed Mulla

I have a valid Serial # for Adobe Acrobat XI, and it shows on my account, but when I try to install it seem to automatically go to "Pro" and says that my Serial # is invalid. I need this right away!!!! How can I fix this???

I really need help with this! I have a valid Serial # for Adobe Acrobat XI and it shows on my account with Adobe. When I try to install on my new hard drive it says that the serial # is invalid.. I tried to install the free version to get me out of a jam and it keeps saying that it failed!!!! What can I do?

I am on Windows 7, and I was on Adobe.com. I went to downloads and clicked on Acrobat XI standard. It downloaded. But when I went to run it said Acrobat XI Pro and would not accept my serial number. I have done this now 4 times. I think that the system is downloading the wrong version. I am getting very frustrated and unhappy with Adobe!!!!

Adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid"

I recently had my macbook pro logic board fail and had to purchase a new macbook pro (expensive reinvestment after only 3 years but that's another story).
Anyway, all of my cs4 upsell products loaded just fine, except adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid." After contacting adobe thru chat several times, here is the info I got back: my serial number IS valid, I still can activate 3 more times (deactivation was not an issue in this case), the final answer was the cs1 server (my previous version before cs4) is no longer available which basically renders my version of acrobat unusable. Is that really the case? Now that I have a new computer I can't use that software any longer it was working fine on my old laptop? Why did all the other software load okay? Did I miss something or is buying another upgrade neccessary?
ps: using Macbook Pro with MacOS X.8.5

Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver are all working just fine. I haven't needed any other apps yet since the reinstall. Install actually worked fine too for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I try to open anything in it I get the Software Setup Screen and it wants me to enter the serial number for the product, when I do it says the serial number is invalid. I included a screen shot below with the serial number removed so you can see. In chatting with adobe, my rep said it is a valid number (obviously since it worked fine on my other apps), but the server for CS1 is no longer available and since I have an upsell from CS1 they cannot offer me support and to take my question to the forum board, so here I am.

I need to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard because my new computer doesn not have cd media. When I put my serial number in, it says it is not valid.

My new computer does not have CD media so I need to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard online. I am able to download but when it prompts me for the serial number, it says my number is not valid. I have double and triple checked, the serial number has been entered EXACTLY as it says on the box. What could be causing this?

Adobe acrobat 9 standard you will need to use a computer which does contain an optical drive and copy the contents to a USB drive. You can then install from the USB drive on your computer which does not include an optical drive. Unfortunately if you did not choose download at the time of purchase then I am not aware of any download locations for the installation files.

Not sure what you mean by that: is that URL in an image, or is it actual text?
If it is in an image, then you need to extract the image, edit it with something like Photoshop, then add it back to the PDF.
If the URL is actual text, I suggest that you remove the entire URL, then add the corrected link.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional Suddenly Closes

I just reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional on a new XP SP2 machine and I have never been able to get it to stay open longer that about 5 seconds before it closes with no error message. I reinstalled it a few times, no luck. I've installed the acrobat upgrade, no luck. I had no problems with the install. I do not have any other adobe product installed. I do not have a virus program running.
I've seen solutions to this for those with ver. 8 running Vista. I have neither.
Thanks

Have you "activated" your software?
That could be your problem if you haven't.

I had Adobe Acrobat Serial loaded before the hard drive crashed on my old PC. I have tried to download Acrobat 9 on my new PC, but always get the message “This is not a valid serial number”.
I had Adobe 9 Standard on the old. But what downloads from the page http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html is Adobe 9 Pro. Perhaps this Pro version is the problem.
Anyway, can you point me to a way to install Adobe on my new PC?
