Acrobat 9.0 install key invalid on 9.2 installation

Hello,
I have just updated my Install Point to install as Acrobat Pro 9.2 and the installation package is telling me that my installation key is invalid.  The same key works fine when I install a 9.0 package.  I am an Adobe CLP customer.  The installation only goes as far as the Enter Product Key screen and when I click Next it tells me that my key is invalid.
I first tried installation from a GPO and it failed.  I next tried installation from the command line with the transform file and that failed.  Next I just ran the installer and that is when I figured out why it was failing.
Anyone have any ideas of what is going on?  Is there a different key that is needed for the 9.2 version?
Thanks,
Matt

Well if your oganization gets a new computer and wants to install Acrobat then why do a 9.0 install then a 9.1 update then a 9.12 update only to be followed by a 9.2 update?  Why not just slipstream all of the updates into a Automated Instalation Point then install the product from that installation point?
Adobe has documented how to create this Automated Installation Point.  But I am havinf trouble with the installation after this.

  • Acrobat 9 Standard serial key invalid error

    My Acrobat 9 Standard Serial number is not working. It keeps saying the serial is "invalid". The Chat support said it's a valid serial number. I'm not sure if it's ok to post the serial number here, so I won't. I need some assistance as soon as possible. This is killing my productivity.

    Equally, even if you posted the number there is nothing we could do with it. (Except, possibly, install the software, which would leave you without it).
    It's really a cop-out. We can't look up or check serials (unless you happen to find an Adobe staff person who happens to see your message and help).
    Things to double and triple check.
    1. That you have the right software, for the right platform (Mac or Win)
    2. That you are using the ORIGINAL installer - disk or download. Don't assume you can download a replacement for a disk.
    3. If you are typing the number try copy/paste. If you are copy/pasting it, try typing it. Problems can happen e.g. with copy/paste a serial starting with a space.

  • Adobe Acrobat won't install, can't get past "reader installer" "retreiving install"

    I'm unable to open PDF files on my computer and cannot install Acrobat Reader
    1--Click the "download now" button for: Adobe Reader X (10.1.0) (37.86 MB)
    2--Click the "save file" button
    3--Click the "Adobe Reader Installer"
    4--On computer "Retrieving Install................0%" pops up and this is where the process ceases.
    5--Nothing happens
    6--FIREFOX HELP saves the day
    7--I'm no longer pissed.
    8--Thank you!

    Hey Goingup2,
    Please note that you can activate Acrobat subscription on maximum two computers using your Adobe ID credentials.
    In order to install and activate Acrobat on the second machine, you must first deactivate it on the first machine using the Help menu.
    You might get User Account Control prompt after selecting 'Privilege Level' option under Compatibility tab of Acrobat properties.
    Please check for the same and let me know.

    Despite the above error, the application is in the APP folder and starts with no errors.  Recently an update became available to Acrobat X Pro and the Update will not install -- it says that Acrobat has been modified since its original installation.
    Any ideas what might be going on here?
    Thanks for looking!

    Restart with the Option key held down and use Lion's recovery partition to install onto that drive. Alternatively, clone your existing system to that drive, run DiskWarrior on the clone, restart from the clone, and use DiskWarrior to repair the internal drive.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro license key issue.

    Why won't my Acrobat 9 Pro license key work on the install onto my new computer?

    I have two days left on my "Trial version". From what I've read in the forums, reinstalling from a link has fixed this issue with other users. Can you send me one? (This is driving me crazier than normal)

    I personally whould not recommend that, because uninstalling the update KB2918614 places the Windows Installer service back to its original design, but also leaves it vulnerable to the reported security issue https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS1​4-049
    more info about this here: http://windowsitpro.com/security/bug-or-feature-kb​2918614-alters-windows-installer-behavior
    so, the right way to solve this this, is fixing user credentials and permissions, that could be corrupted by a virus.
    1 - Reset File Permissions: http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/reset_file_pe​rmissions.html
    2 - Reset Registry Permissions: http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/reset_registr​y_permissions.html
    3 - Repair MSI (Windows Installer): http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/repair_msi_wi​ndows_installer.html
    after that, you can try uninstall KB2918614 and then install KB2918614 again from Windows Update in Control Panel.

    Hi Bruce,
    Please open registry by typing "regedit" in the Run window (Windows + R)
    Now, navigate to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\acrobat\shell\open\ddeexec\application and changing the Key from "AcroviewA10"  to  "AcroviewR10.
    Now, try launching Acrobat and let me know if the issue resolves.

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

    Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Installing Update

    I have just needed to re-install Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    After the install I had to complete all following updates v 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, 9.13, 9.20, 9.30, 9.31, 9.32, 9.33, 9.34, 9.40 and 9.41
    A rather lenghty process but did this to make sure all the elements of Acrobat have been installed.
    My question
    is is necessary to install all the update like I have - or is it possible to choose the latest available update?
    Probably a good question for Adobe Technical to answer.
