Acrobat is requiring a 6-digit serial number to open the application. My Acrobat serial number is 24 digits. What 6 digits am I supposed to enter to get the app to open?

I can't figure out what's going on here.  I installed Acrobat XI Standard about a month ago, and I think this started happening after a software update.  I can't get Acrobat to even open without this mysterious 6-digit serial number

Ah, I see where you are coming from. This is a bit of "smartness" in Acrobat which I particularly dislike myself.
Your 24 digit serial number will be written like this 1234-1234-1234-1234-1234-1234-1234
What you are expected to do is just start typing. The first 1234 will fill up the first box, then it will "helpfully" jump to the second box. You will keep typing, and it will keep jumping after each four, until the 6 boxes each have four digits. Now you click Next and the 24 digits are checked.
