Acrobat fasils to open, cannot reinstall from original cd-rom, hsve serial number, stuck

My Acrobat x stopped opening, will not run, on my Windows8 computer. Yet, I cannot reinstall even though I have my original CD-ROM and serial number.
I have always been able to reinstall software in the past but maybe Adobe has locked me out with their licensing hurdles. Anyone know how to get Acrobat installed from original cd-roms and a serial number?

Thanks for responding. This forum is so helpful.From another suggestion, I went into control panel, Install/Uninstall Programs and selected to reinstall Acrobat. Also, I found a fix online called AcroFix.exe which is reported to correct problems loading.Together the problem was fixed.
Thanks,Jeff

Hi 12msonti,
Please try the following:
Delete the Adobe PCD folder and caps.db file:
Windows: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD
\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
Launch Acrobat and enter the serial number and check.

What version of Pages?
How did you first buy it?
On what version of OSX?
It sounds like you are in Maverick (OSX 10.9) not Lion (OSX 10.7.4) and have deleted Pages '09.

Cannot reinstall from CD-ROM on Linux/MacOSX laptop

I've inherited this old 17" Powerbook G4 from where I work. The previous owner was a sysadmin who has some kind of dual install on the laptop. So, when you turn the power on it gives you a choice to boot up in Linux or OSX. I want to completely start-over from scratch on this machine. I have the CD-ROMs that came with the laptop, but I'm having problems.
1) I can put the CD-ROM in and get an additional option when I turn the power on to boot from the CD-ROM. This results in the fatal crash screen, but it's overlayed with a bunch of Linux code.
2) I can boot in OSX and then choose to reinstall from the CD-ROM menu. The laptop powers down and restarts, but the results are the same as in #1.
What are my options? Can I physically remove the hard drive from the laptop, reformat it using my personal laptop, put the hard drive back in the laptop and then launch from the CD-ROM?

Thanks for the reply, eww.
The disks I tried to reinstall with ARE NOT for the laptop in question. It didn't occur to me that that would be required. I just figured as long as it was a version of OSX that the hardware could handle, that it would work. Now that I think about it, it makes sense that you'd need the correct disks.
Now my problem is the fact that I have about a 5% chance of locating those disks. The guys in my office aren't as disciplined as I am when it comes to keeping in mind where these things are.
Is there a web site maybe that keeps disk images alive? Are there any alternatives to using the original disks that came with the laptop?

I have just transferred my entire application file from an Imac to an identical Imac, both running OS 10.9.5. Everything works fine, excepting that when I attempt to open Photoshop 6, I am prompted for the serial number. I enter the serial number provided by Adobe, which I have confirmed with my "previous purchase" records kept by Adobe. It is demanding a "qualifying product", all of which is contained in the complete files I transferred. Why can't Adobe recognise my valid serial number for Photoshop 6?

Say what?
Please use the proper installer.
Are you really talking about Photoshop 6 or about Photoshop CS6?

Satellite A60: Can't open any programs from the CD Rom

I have a problem when trying to open any program from the CD rom, the computer runs a Windows Explorer message every time
which says there is a fault and has to close down. I have run the computer through every virus program going and i have all the Microsoft updates from there website. Has anyone got any further ideas what the problem could be.

Hi
Well, strange issue. Maybe its something wrong with the CD rom?
The best idea is to recover this unit with the delivered Recovery CD but firstly you can try to remove the CD rom device from the Device Manager. After OS booting the drive will be recognized again. If the problem persists after this procedure I would recommend to recover the unit.
Bye

My logic board was replaced on my Mac and now my CS4 will not open. I re-downloaded it, gave the serial number, but it still won't open. It said that the licensing had expired. But this is not the case. Now what?

uninstall, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then properly install (do not migrate, use timemachine etc) using the installation files.

I bought Photoshop Elements 12 and I cannot install it..It says invalid serial number and says invalid Redemption Code

I bought Photoshop Elements 12 and I cannot install it..It says invalid serial number and says invalid Redemption Code when I try that way. I need the program and because I have opened the box it can't be returned to the store. I have over $100 tied up in this product that I can't use. Someone said install the free trial version...Ok, I did...but it is just a 30 day trial and I want the full version of the product I paid for!! So how do I get a valid serial number? The serial number on the box and the redemption code card both come up as invalid. Not a very happy customer right now!!

You will need to contact Adobe Support by chat or by phone.

I just install a brand new lightroom 5 in my computer. But when I open its icon, it asked to buy a serial number. I already have a serial number. How can I proceed?

There should be an option to enter the serial number you have, either in that dialog box or from the "help" menu "Lightroom Registration".

I have the Photoshop Photography Program and every time I try open Photoshop CC it asks me for a Serial Number. It keeps saying my trial period has ended. How can I get this working since Adobe doesn't issue Serial Numbers for CC.

Jodie84,
I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.
