Acrobat 9.5.0 update needs product activation

I recently updated Acrobat Pro 9 to 9.5.0 and now every time I try to use the app I get a dialog box that says:
Suite Product Activation Needed
Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a Suite. To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another sompnent of this suite (such as Adobe Acrobat).
Starting PS does not solve the problem. I am able to use all other programs except Acrobat Pro.
I own CS4 Design Premium (Student Edition) and I have a serial number. Is there someplace I can go to reestablish the serial number for CS4 so that Acrobat will work?

can you check out the following threads for a solution?

Acrobat pro 9.0 update needed

I own a DVD set of CS3 Design Standard for Mac, including a second DVD named CS3.3 including Acrobat 9.
I could not access the DVDs with the Remote Drive function of OSX (I am on a Macbook Air now, without DVD drive). Thus I downloaded CS3 from Adobe and entered the serial number. Works. However, I cannot update to 3.3/Acrobat 9 as there is no download available from Adobe for Mac.
Using a proper external DVD drive should work, I guess - if I can get hold of one, not much motivated to buy one, though.
Or is there another possibility of updating?
Many thanks in advance.

Jeff, thanks.
I'll try the USB thing.
However, I do not think that this is aspecific Acrobat issue, as the
original CS3 DVD didn't work either through remote, so I downloaded it
from Adobe, which worked fine.

Help-"Suite Product Activation Needed"-Acrobat Pro CS5

Hello.
I searched the forums but no one seems to have this problem (or I missed it).
See enclosed JPEG. It says,
"Suite Product Activation Needed
Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another component of this suite (such as Adobe Photoshop)."
Yes, I entered in the CS5 serial number and activated the suite through Photoshop. Yes, I entered in the separate serial number for Acrobat. It was accepted but then gives me the activation error. Yes, I tried deactivating CS5, rebooted, reactivated CS5, relaunched Photoshop CS5, relaunched Acrobat, and... same error.
Anyone have a solution? (other than trying to uninstall and reinstall the Suite which I really don't want to do)
Rudy

I was having the same problem, having just migrated CS5 Design Standard to OS X 10.7, Acrobat 9 stopped working and gave the error 'Suite Product Activation Needed' which did not work...
a (very helpful) discussion on livechat with Adobe suggested:
1. changing the name of cache.db in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD to cache.old, then trying to start Acrobat
if that did not work, try
2. deleting the FlexNet Publisher folder in Library/Application Support, which when you try to start Acrobat should now allow you to re-enter the serial number
worked for me, anyway...

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?
Like others, I have recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to the next generation and migrated all my information from old to new. Everything works seamlessly EXCEPT Acrobat. Photoshop, Indesign, Bridge and Lightroom all seem functional. Acrobat hangs with an error message "Suite Product Activation Needed. Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Acrobat, please start another element of the suite (such as Photoshop)." Needless to say, starting another element of the suite has NO impact on Acrobat.
This has to be a common problem. Now that Apple has made it really easy to migrate information from old to new machines, it has to come up all the time. What surprises me greatly is that I can't find any coherent answer in these forums.
So how do I get Acrobat running again?

Hi Anubha,
I do not understand what you said below.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9.5.5. I do not remember whether it came with Photoshop or InDesign.
When I open Photoshop, it opens without my having to follow any instructions to activate the software. As a matter of fact, I cannot find my Photoshop serial number anywhere in the Photoshop program itself. I do know it from my profile at Adobe.com. Are you suggesting I deactivate Photoshop on the new computer and then reactivate it using my serial number? Will it reactivate?
When you say
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe" at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder)
what do you mean? I do not have a startup disk. I have the original installation disk but that version of Photoshop has been updated a few times.
After staring at your instructions for a while, I realized that you might be talking about the Library/Application Support folders resident on my Macintosh HD, although why you called it a startup disk is unclear to me. IAC, I went into those folders and duly moved the three folders into a new folder I called “Acrob1” and restarted Adobe Acrobat 9 and got the following error message: “AMT Subsystem Failure The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall of call customer support.” with a small (6).
By undoing my actions I am back to the staus quo ante.
Now what?
Regards, Robert

Acrobat Suite Product Activation Error Message

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 and updated Acrobat Pro to 9.5.1. All of the sudden (not anywhere near the time that I updated) I started getting the "Acrobat Suite Product Activation Error Message". Then it closes and quits.
Launching Photoshop (or having it open) does nothing. The other similar forum discussions seem to concern Lion, which I don't have yet. Solutions?

The Acrobat X Suite has Acrobat X not Acrobat 9 Pro. So it begs the question do you have Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?

I get this error: Suite Product Activation Needed

Suite Product Activation Needed
you: "Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another component of this suite ( such as Adobe Photoshop)"
Running Adobe Creative Suite 4 on Windows 7
I have tried:
1) Uninstalling and re installing
2) Adobe Acrobat license repair tool
These have not worked.
Are there any other steps required to take ?
Thank you Graham

When I try that, I get a choice of deactivating permanently or in suspension. I have tried suspending activation but that seems to have no effect. I can continue to use Photoshop normally. I am reluctant to try permanent deactivation without a more complete understanding of what happens next. If I were to deactivate permanently, my suspicion is that, when I next opened Photoshop, there would be no option to Activate and I would be left with a dead Photoshop product and still no Acrobat.
Also you talk about the original suggestion. Where is that suggestion made?

But material price is getting properly updated at production order.
Plz help me in identifying the possible areas of mistakes.

Please check the Period for which you have created the ht activity price is same as the period in the conformation. In the workcenter in which you are confirming please check whether the activities are assigned to the work center.

Problem with the product activation adobe acrobat 9 standard.

I have a problem with the product activation adobe acrobat 9 standard.
It is a failed hard disk to the pc and was not able to deactivate the license adobe.
Now I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled the software but it tells me that all licenses are used.
Is it possible to unlock the licenses in use?
Thank you.

Adobe can unlock licenses, this is a normal thing for them to do. You must contact them directly, there is no trick or other way.

Acrobat 8.2.4 update problem solution needs clarification

Could someone please clarify the solution offered at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/861/cpsid_86169.html
Adobe Solution
Adobe has released an Acrobat 8.2.4 update via the auto-update mechanism for Adobe Acrobat 8.2.3 (CS3) for Mac OS. Adobe recommends that you check for updates by choosing Help > Check For Updates from the Acrobat menu bar.
File information
Filename: AcroFix824_Delivery.dmg
Usage notes
Double-click AcroFix824_Delivery.dmg to mount the disc image.
Open the mounted disc image and double click the AcroFix824 utility to run it.
In the Choose A File dialog box, browse to the Acrobat Professional application that you want to patch.
Enter the administrator credentials in Authenticate dialog box.
Click OK when the utility displays the Patched Successfully message.
My questions are:
After I had the problem with the 8.2.4 update, I restored my Acrobat Pro back to 8.2.3 using Time Machine. So I don't need a patch, I need a workable 8.2.4 update to 8.2.3.
So if I update to 8.2.4 using the above solution,
1. Does " choosing Help > Check For Updates" just install a patch to the original flawed update to 8.2.4?
(Since I am back to my 8.2.3 version, I presume a patch would not work, if this is the case.)
2. Or does the "Help > Check For Updates" update my 8.2.3 to the flawed 8.2.4 and then the the AcroFix824.dmg patches the flawed update?
3. Or does the "Help > Check For Updates" update my 8.2.3 to a working 8.2.4?
Thanks for your help in clarifying this. I keep getting auto update messges for 8.2.4 and I don't want to say yes to them if it still is a problem with auto update.

I followed Adobe's instructions and the flawed 8.2.4 is constantly crashing. I cannot believe the update is worst than the old version. I would recommend not to update until Adobe fixes this useless update.
Now I have to re-install the program again and make sure not to install the useless "new update".
Adobe is going from bad to worse!

Lenovo and Suse Enterprise Product Activation and Suse Update?

Hello,
I have just bought an Ideapad S10e with Suse on it.
Can anybody help me with this two questions.
1) I would like to activate my Suse product at the Suse website, where do I find my activation key?
2) Can I update easily from Suse 10 to the new Suse 11, I have got Suse 10 with my new Lenovo.
Thanks a lot for any answer!

Hi,
? Product Activation did hear that for the first time ?
and its not possible to upgrade direct...
the Suse 10 is not really up to date...
its better choice to delete it and starting from a scratch install all other linux if you want linux...
i.e. Opensuse 11,
Linux Mint, Ubuntu 9.04 ... Archlinux..
.and many more..
my favs are Ubuntu and Mint...
all function out of the box....
if you want more information in your native language
you can find news here www.netbooknews.de and answers in the german forum here S10(e) German Forum Linux Section

Nice to see That your problem is solved
But Can you let the Forum Members know

What do I need to sign into my Adobe account on every* Acrobat Reader for iOS update?

Hello,
Every time I update Acrobat Reader for iOS on iPad with iOS 6.1.x from the AppStore, I need to sign into Adobe account every single time! It's getting annoying.

In the past, you have had to re-authenticate your Acrobat.com account on update if you are using the Acrobat.com features. This is something we are working on and hope to improve in future updates. Thank you for the feedback.
