Acrobat 9 - Remove Serial number for image?

Hi all,
We are purchasing Dell PCs with OEM installations of Adobe Acrobat Standard 9. I am attempting to create an image based on one of these machines, but I want to remove the Acrobat Serial number, so when I push this image onto another machine, I can enter the proper serial number for that machine.
I know you can go into the registry and change the serial number, so I tried to just delete the value from there. However, when I did this and start up Acrobat, it runs through the installation and the previous serial number is back in it's place. I found the serial number listed in a "Repair" key as well and when I delete it from there, I have the same result, with the exception of the registry values for the serial number remain blank. Surprisingly, Acrobat works fine even though it appears (at least in the registry) that there is no serial number associated with it.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks!

Can anyone help here?
I've downloaded the Adobe Customization Wizard and set the user name, company name, etc. and left the serial number blank. When I attempt to run an unattended installation, it fails with a dialog box that simply says "error."
I changed to an interactive install to see if I could get any more information on when and where it was failing. User and company name are filled in, as expected, but Serial Number is blank and I cannot advance without entering a Serial Number. I assume this is also why the unattended installation is failing.
How can I install without a serial number, so that I will be prompted for that upon first launch?

Hi Anthony Aduhene

Got a new laptop and don't have my original Adboe disk. I do have my serial number for Acrobat 9 standard. How do I download it onto my new laptop, please?

Hello Ive gotten a new laptop. I cannot find my Adobe Acrobat 9 disk as it's still packed and in storage from moving residences.
I have my Adobe Acrobat 9 serial number. How can I download it now for my new laptop, please?
Thank you. Andrea

Thank you, Anubha, for your reply. I will search for the disk as soon as
I'm able to go to another state where my storage unit is located, however
right now, I have a serial number for my Adobe 9 - it is:
1016-1934-5048-3315-8945-0131 according to my account on the Adobe website.
I do have, with me, an Adobe 8 disk - however, at some point, I must have
upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 9 - because that is the serial number in my Adobe
account. So, do I have Adobe 9 via an upgrade download link sent to me by
Adobe? I believe that is the case, but cannot find the record of that in
my Adobe account.
Can you please let me know if you show an upgrade to 9 in my account on
your end? If not, can you tell me what an upgrade would cost from Adobe
Acrobat 8, to Adobe Acrobat 10?
Thank you....
Andrea

How do i find out a serial number for acrobat Pro on a computer?

One of our staff has left the company and I want to transfer the license over to another computer. I have called Adobe Support and they kept on asking for the registered email address which I do not know. Phone support has referred me to this forum. Is there any way i can find out the acrobat Pro serial number on this computer?

Hi bachus.d1,
Please check the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

I recently subscribed to Acrobat XI after the trial expired but when I went to activate it I was asked for the serial number. I only have the order number on the invoice. How do I get the serial number for the trial software that is on my computer?

Please do not try to send attachments in mail responses to forum messages. Please return to the forum and click Reply. You can then use the CAMERA icon to add your pictures. Looking forward to seeing what is wrong with your license screens - the general advice is simply to sign in, and everything is done. Make sure you use the SAME Adobe ID that you used to purchase, and check your account details to be sure the subscription is active.

I downloaded a Trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI. Now the trial has runout and I've signed up for a subscription. However, my software still needs a serial number. How can I get a serial number for the installed software?

There is no serial number and you don't need one. What you need for a subscription is to SIGN IN within Acrobat, so it knows the subscriptions you own.

After installation it says unable to validate this serial number for Acrobat Pro XI. Why? What do I do?

I received my serial number online and went through the installation process. After it was successfully installed I wend to open Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and followed the prompt to enter my serial number and then received this error message "We are unable to validate this serial number for Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. Please Contact Customer Support."
I've read several FAQ and troubleshooting discussions but none have touched specifically on this.
I would have called customer support but did not see a number to call.
Does anyone know what exactly is wrong or what I can do to resolve the issue?

I have a serial number for Acrobat Pro 8 that won't work. I can't upgrade to Pro 11, so I am shut out of using what I paid for?

I was just given a "new" serial number for my Acrobat Pro 8, but it is the same number as the one I got from the
Adobe site-- and does not work. How can I use a program I paid for without buying Pro 11 brand new?

What message do you get, exactly? (Please don't include the serial itself).
Is this using the original CD that came with the Acrobat 8 product?
Does it say anything about a "qualifying product"?

I have a serial number for Adobe Acrobat standard, however I no longer have the software installed

I have a serial number for Adobe Acrobat standard, however I no longer have the software installed and need to re-install it - the only download I can find is for the free trial of Acrobat Professional, which is no good as my serial number does not work with this.
Please can you provide a download link for Acrobat Standard
Thank you
Scott

Did you choose the download option at the time of purchase? If so please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download the software from your account.
