Acrobat 8 standard installation program rejects my serial number, says it's "invalid"

I have a genuine product of Acrobat 8 Standard, and when I put the serial number in the installation program, I get rejected. The program says my s.n. is invalid.
How do I solve this?

Was your AA8 an upgrade? If so, the S/N requested may have been for the prior version, not 8. You have to provide both the old and new S/Ns for an upgrade. For Win7 you will need to do the updates. For Win8, you may have to purchase the new version.

    I bought photoshop elements 11 on disc. Im trying to download it to my MAC  via the serial number, says it is invalid. I know its valid, as I've already used this version on my PC. Im on MAC at the moment.

    I bought from Amazon. The PC disc works fine on my PC, but when I try to load the MAC version on my iMac, it says the serial number is invalid. It's Elements Version 11 by the way.

  • I used up my two downloads for my standard CS5 suite, my backed up program on my external hard drive isn't working. My serial number says it is invalid, what do I do?

    I purchased the standard CS5 suite (photoshop, illustrator, in design, bridge) student package for my laptop (through a download process, not dvd, in which I had two downloads). I used my first one, that followed with my hard drive crashing. I used my second download, and then I had an accident with my laptop and had to purchase a new one. I backed up all of my programs onto an external hard drive and I just tried to re download adobe programs using that. When i enter my serial number it says it is invalid. What can I do? Live chat will not help me because I do not have the current CS6 or CC.

    Double-check your serial number here: Find your serial number quickly
    Serial numbers will sometimes become invalidated if they were hacked and made available on the internet.

  • I don't have the disk for acrobat xi standard but i have the serial number

    i need to download acrobat xi standard without using the disk. I have the serial number. New laptops don't come with cd drivers, grrr

    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html Assuming you wanted an individual version and not a volume license or such, this should do it. It also is the full version, not an upgrade. Please back it up to a CD and/or a backup HD. Don't expect it to always be available.

    I then had a problem with my new mac and Apple rebuilt the software due to a problem with Yosemite. I dont have a CD rom and want to download but it wont accept my serial number again. I have checked and I am typing the correct one.
    What should I do now?

  • Acrobat 9 Standard crashing programs

    When loading Acrobat 9 Standard crashing programs. What do I do?

    Wrong user forum. Here you have the user forum for Adobe Reader. You are asking about a different application (Acrobat 9 Standard). 
    Regardless, the Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
    The Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible in any contemporary OS (includes any updated Windows 7 eh).
    Be well...

    I am a Creative Cloud subscriber and Acrobat XI Pro is asking for a serial number.  When I enter my CC serial number, it indicates that the serial number is invalid

    >enter my CC serial number
    I don't know how that is possible, since Cloud accounts do not use a serial number... you download & install & activate Cloud programs with your Cloud log in to your paid account

    You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • 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.
