Acrobat X not lauching in CS6 (registered/activated version)

I looked up in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html for a solution in WHY my acrobat X pro is not lauching anymore and found this procedure: but this applies to a newly installed CS6 just after 30 days but I have now CS6 (and acrobat X included) working for months and again acrobat does not start, this is not the first time I reported the problem and again I have to deactivate/activate the entire CS6. This is NOT A SATISFYING SOLUTION
Solution Reactivate Acrobat through another Suite product:
Important: It's necessary to perform the following instructions when connected to the Internet. Select a following product when requested to launch a CS6 Suite product: Photoshop, After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver.
Launch a CS6 Suite product.
Choose Help > Deactivate.
Follow the onscreen prompts to deactivate.
Close the application.
Launch a CS6 Suite product again.
Click Accept to continue launching the product.
Sign in with your Adobe ID associated with CS6 suite.
Close the application and relaunch.
When prompted, click Sign in.
Enter your CS6 Suite serial number and click Next.
Close the application and relaunch.
To permanently resolve this issue, update all of your CS6 applications via the Adobe Application Manager.

If Acrobat previously installed on this computer where you installed CS6 and it says serial number exeeds maximum use when launch Acrobat, do the following.
Goto C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache and delete cache.db file.
Launch any CS6 product other than Acrobat and activate -> Close the product -> Launch Acrobat.
You are done.
Thanks to Adobe technical support

Acrobat X not Installing with CS6

My CS6 CD gives me no option to install Acrobat X Pro. How do I install it with the license key?

When you run the main installer on disc one you will have an option to install Acrobat 10.

How do I activate Acrobat XPro- I've installed CS6 Premium on my new computer and Acrobat does not work and says its not activated. How do I resolve this problem?????

How do I activate Acrobat XPro- I've installed CS6 Premium on my computer and Acrobat does not work and says its not activated. It is listed on the programs on the computer but will not respond. How do I fix this?????? Help Adobe?????

Hi t0m#2410,
How did you install Acrobat, did you install it as a part of Suite installation.
If it is a part of suite then deactivate suite uninstall Acrobat, Reinstall Acrobat using Suite media. Launch Photoshop first and Activate.
Then try launch Acrobat.

I have the exact same issue. I can print one document and then I get the error mentionned above ("adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"). Then I need to reboot in order to be able to print a new document.
I have suite and went to Photoshop as suggested, but this program is already activated. I tried to launch Acrobat Pro but it won't.
I'm using the Design and Web Premium CS6 Suite on Windows Vista.
Thank you so much for your help.

Why is Acrobat XI not Included in Creative Suite CS6?

Our company has just purchased Creative Suite CS6, eLearning Suite CS6, & multiple copies of the Technical Communications Suite V4 (just released). None of these expensive packages include the new Acrobat XI, not even the Std version. In addition, PhotoShop has been removed from TCS V4, where it belongs. I see this as a callous marketing policy by Adobe to force companies to buy multiple product suites, or at least extra (expensive) essential programs (or be stuck with legacy programs). Even the so-called Master Suite CS6 does not include items in TCS. When you add the incredible cost of EU versions of Adobe products wrt to US prices, it is no wonder that customers are moving away from Adobe, or at least not upgrading as often as they used to.

Good day gzhtub,
Acrobat XI was announced today, but still hasn't shipped. The ship date is still a few weeks out. That said, CS6 will not include Acrobat XI. However, Creative Cloud subscribers will have access to Acrobat XI if they would like to install it. Per the Acrobat XI FAQ:
Which version of Acrobat is available in the Adobe Creative Suite® editions?
Creative Suite 6 and CS5.5 editions include Acrobat X Pro. Acrobat XI Pro is available through Adobe Creative Cloud™, which provides access to the latest versions of Creative Suite applications on a membership basis.
I can understand your concerns as it relates to the TCS products and the Master Collection. The best way to influence change on that front is to provide feedback directly to the product teams via the Feature Request form.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Acrobat XI not activated!

My first post here and I'm not a high end user so please be patient with my ignorance
I've seen previous threads on this issue in various places, but don't think solutions in these will work for me.
I have had Acrobat XI for about 5 months now. All was working fine.
THis morning when I tried to print: Message popup says Acrobat is not activated.
So I reinstalled.
and it works
BUT
It now says I am using a trial version. WTH? I PAID for this!. I am in a large company and have a stand-alone version installed.
SO what now??
Ron

WHOAA.
Further to the previous post.
Now I see that the TRIAL version I'm using is the PREVIOUSLY INSTALLEND ACROBAT 8
WHAT?????????????

Adobe Acrobat XI: Error Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create PDF File.

After installing Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7 Ent. w/Office 2010.
From MS Word, select Save as PDF, I recieve "Adobe Acrobat is not activated. Cannot create PDF file."
Any and all troubleshooting has failed.
Uninstall Acrobat, language packs, re-install, install updates, Install on fresh image.

kglad your link refers to Windows XP. As to the rest it is questionable. First of all it would be nice to know the cause, before fixing the problem. For in some cases eliminating the cause will solve problems later on. So, in my case for ex. The problem did not exist until I protected my Word 2010 document and then saved it to PDF--which it would not allow to do so and giving the error message stated above.

Acrobat will not start-up and mac osx and will not register

Acrobat is installed on my Mac Mini, but will not allow me to register with Adobe. Also, the same Acrobat 8 pro will not operate on my MacBook pro because it is not registered and does not recognize my serial# etc. How can I call someone at Adobe? This product is worthless to me, and I have tried everything.

Hold down the option key while starting your iMac
You should see a screen with some imagines of hard drives appear.
Press the eject key to eject the disk, then select your boot partition (likely named "Macintosh HD") and hit the return key.
If you still hear the three beeps, the computer may be unable to access its system memory. Preform the resets detailed in these articles:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
Or try as den.thed suggested if you have recently installed memory into your computer.
If your boot partition does not appear when you hold down option and "Recovery HD" also doesn't appear, or if it does not allow you to eject the disk, you may be experiencing hardware issues. Try the above resets, and if they don't work, you will need to go to your closest AASP or Apple Retail store for service.
Good luck.

Lightroom says acrobat is not active

My lightroom says that I cannot print to PDF because acrobat is not active. What can I do?

Hi Stephanie ,
Please follow the steps below to change the default program for viewing pdf's
Launch Acrobat
Click on the 'Edit' button in the toolbar, and then select 'Preferences'
A new window would come up. On the left column, higlight the 'General' Tab and on the right hand side at the bottom there's a button called 'Select Default PDF Handler'
Click the button and select 'Adobe Reader' as the default for PDF's.Click on 'Ok' now to save the changes.
Alternatively, you can simply right click on any pdf file and then select 'Open With..' > 'Choose Default Program' and select 'Adobe Reader' from the list of programs.
Make sure the option at the bottom is checked that says ' Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'.
Click on 'Ok' now to save the changes.
To uninstall Acrobat you can simply uninstall it from the Control Panel > Programs or use the Acrobat cleaner tool : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

Acrobat XI Pro: Licensed / activated version in trial mode and expire after 30 days

First, when viewing a PDF file, my licensed Acrobat XI Pro (v11.0.10) closes the PDF and shows accept license agreement window.
I accepted the license-agreement.
Then a window showed up telling me to log-in into my Adobe-account, clicked on log-in.
Log-in window did not appear though.
I re-launched Acrobat and it is now telling me that it is a trial version for 30 days.
Great!
"Help->Deactivate" is greyed out.
I may go into my Adobe account, Acrobat XI Pro is listed there, together with the key.
Now what?

Later:
with thanks to the solution from Vikrantt Singh
on: Re: Acrobat XI Pro Repeatedly Asking to License Despite Registering/Activating
minor exception - in my case the folders
\Adobe PCD
\SLCache
were located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
so:
1) Delete the Adobe PCD-folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD
2) Delete the SL Cache-folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache
3) Delete the Sl Store-folder under C:\ProgramData\Adobe
4) Launch Acrobat again and activate
Now things are fine again.

I have purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium but will not allow me to register?

I have purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & web Premium & it will not allow me to register the software --- I'm having to use the trial version --- will you please help me in updating --- the products that I have paid lots of money for?
And I currently have Adobe Audition 1.5 --- please contact me via [email address removed]
but I would like to get this registered immediately ---
Currently I have been the recipient of a very bad experience regarding the manner in which Adobe is forcing me to spend more money on products without allowing me to upgrade accordingly --- or in having to speak to a FOREIGNER --- who cannot communicate properly .... please respond as soon as possible ... please.
My experience in trying to speak to someone with a 'Extremely Thick Accent' was very unpleasant and aggrivating ... and ended up 'going no where.'
I need to speak/communicate with someone who can help in using the product that I have paid a lot of money for.

p.s. my current purchse of Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium

Well, what exactly isn't working? Do you get any errors? What system are you on? As a start, check this:

Acrobat will not Activate. Ever, Ever? Ever.

STILL HAVING issues with Acrobat closing for no reason after about 8 seconds, also when converting to PDF in Word 2013 I get error statement that Acrobat is not activated. Also keep having to delete the OBEE folder every day to use CC. Ridiculous!!!!! Well known and well documented through out these forums. FIX IT ADOBE!
I spent 2 hours on the phone with Adobe "no speak english" support and no solution.
Im running Windows 7 with CC subscription.
Steps I have followed from Adobe that do not work:
First Try on support call:
Signout of CC
Delete OBEE
Delete Local and LowLocal Acrobat pref folders
Restart system
Opn PS CC and follow steps to activate/signin
Open Acrobat and see if it works. It does not.
Second try on support call:
Remove all of the CC apps
Run CC cleaner on all apps
Restart System
Install all CC apps
Open Acrobat and see if it works. It does not.
Third try on support call:
Delete Windows 7 user Admin account and create a new one
Go through all the steps above from second support try
Im thinking the only way to fix this well known and well documented problem is to start posting links to alternative PDF software solutions and maybe drop my companies 20 CC licenses and ALl of the Acrobat licenses

"Note: The information below is based on the Classic version of Windows XP."
I'm on a Windows 7 machine, tried the XP solution you suggested. No change, Acrobat still closes and not activating. I did not have acrobat previous to CC subription. I did have IT completely gut my PC and reloaded the entire machine today, loaded CC, installed the apps, opend PS and accepted the agreement, opend Acrobat and it closes within 8 seconds so same B.S.
I am going on 4 months of this problem, usually Adobe can get it figured out, but after a quick search on these forums you can see its clearly a problem that has been ignored.
And this doesnt help me convince my company that we should stay with Adobe products. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2027946/researchers-zero-day-pdf-exploit-affects-adobe-read er-11-earlier-versions.html
