Acrobat X Pro pop-up says serial number to activate product has expired? Why??

We purchased 2 licenses for Adobe Acrobat X Pro to allow us to digitally certify engineering plans in PDF form, and now this installation of Acrobat X Pro says the "serial number you used to activate the product has expired" and this "is your last opportunity to launch the product before it is automatically deactivated."  It also says we "must provide a new serial number or start a trial on next launch."
Why?  Why would we need to re-purchase serial numbers when we purchased the product already?

Just got done with a tech support telling me
I am really sorry to inform you that, the serial number is a invalid serial number.
In this case, I request you to contact the reseller for the refund.
I contacted the Reseller (LSS)  and they asked for my orriginal order number, I sent it and they promptly sent me a new serial number to use.  It worked.
My copy is working.
TRC go to their website and send them an email in the contact us area.  Give them a link to this forum thread.  Problem solved.

  • I inadvertently installed the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my laptop as a trial. It has expired and I want to remove it.

    I inadvertently installed the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my laptop as a trial. It has expired and I want to remove it and  use the previous version that I had on the machine before the install which was a full version of Adobe Acrobat. Please provide me with the steps to complete this.

    You can uninstall in the usual way (Control Panel). You will probably then need to reinstall the older version, which the trial most likely removed.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro fails to accept serial number

    I have installed an upgrade from CS2 to CS4 Design Premium. All software has opened with the serial number supplied except Acrobat Pro which displays a red cross next to the serial. I have seen references to this problems on other forums but not any solutions. Can anyone help? Thanks, Dan

    Mate, did you get your problem sorted out? I just got the CS4 Premium student version, everything was fine except for Acrobat that asks me for the serial then will say it's wrong. And phone support is only Mon to Fri 9 to 5. Thanks

  • Why is Acrobat X Pro Asking For A Serial Number?

    I have an up-to-date subscription on The Cloud and now for some reason Acrobat X is asking me to enter a serial number. The Cloud also says that I have the updated Acrobat XI version already installed. It is not on my system and I never initiated an upgrade to XI to begin with. Any ideas why this is occuring? I can't use the software. It will no longer launch.

    Hello,
    this didn't solve my issue unfortunately. Subscriptions to the Cloud do not require the input of serial numbers. What was also odd about this particular situation was that my subscription was telling me that Acrobat XI Pro was installed and updated, but it was not showing in my Applications folder. I had to locate the Installer for Acrobat XI Pro (HD>Utilities>Adobe Installers), launch this and then UNinstall the program. I then had to reinstall the program through my Cloud Application Manager. This solved my issue. Also, Acrobat X Pro is not part of the Cloud subscription - Acrobat XI Pro is, however. That is why it was asking for a serial number.  I hope this helps someone else. Thanks.

  • Acrobat XI Pro Upgrade Issue Recognizing Serial Number for Acrobat X Pro

    I purchased Acrobat XI pro upgrade yesterday, was able to install, deactivate Acrobat X pro.  Now however, it is rejecting the serial number for Acrobat X pro and I can't use the program.  Please help!!

    Hi Stajascha1,
    We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    Can you please provide the exact message on the screen while you are trying to enter the serial number.
    If that is possible can you attach the screen shot of the error message. Make sure the serial number is not visible in screen shot.

  • Cant run adobe acrobat x1 pro after installing it - serial number upgrade problem

    i have installed adobe acrobat xi pro on my new microsoft surface computer running windows 8.1.  i just got this new computer ... the product was originally installed on my old computer. (i purchased the product a little over a year ago)  the download and installation appeared to have gone well ... but now when i attempt to actually run the program, i get the message "serial number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer"  a window asks me to select a product from a drop down list - but adobe acrobat x1 pro does not appear on that list

    The message you are getting indicates you purchased the software as an upgrade version and it is asking you to identify the older version that you upgraded from to prove that you qualify for using the upgrade version.  YOu need to select the older version and provide its serial number as well.

  • Acrobat XI Pro trial asking for serial number?

    I downloaded this program via the direct link after having so much problems with the adobe assistant thing giving me the same error numerous times. I finally have it downloaded and now it wont let me use the trial version of it. It keeps asking me to validate it and enter in my serial number. What if anything can I do to get it to work? My homework is already a day late because of this program not downloading properly. I have Windows 7 dont know if that matters or not on how to fix it.

    That was the first time I ever tried to install Acrobat XI Professional though so that doesnt make sense to me. When I started my A&P class + A&P labs I found out I needed this software. I purchased it from my school however I have no idea of when it will get here and since my class has already begun I am just at my wits end. I dont have another computer to try it on to see if it would work or not on there.

    I have the same  problem. Have paid. Messages say I have downloaded it but the file is inaccessible apparently download is somewhere on my hard disk. How do I find it?? Is there not help at an Adobe phone service. If so what is the number to call??

  • I have an Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription without a serial number.  After a format of my hard drive, how to I reconnect with my program

    I have an Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription without a serial number.  In a needed reformatting of my hard drive, Adobe Acrobat was removed.  How do I get access to my Adobe program again?

    Hi,
    Go to http://www.adobe.com and sign-in with you Adobe ID ( on which you purchased the subscription).
    Then, on right hand side panel, click on 'Desktop' under Apps section. And then location Acrobat XI Pro and download it.
    Regards,

  • Acrobat Pro 9: have upgrade serial number. Where can I find qualifying version serial number purchased in 2005?

    I purchased Acrobat 9 Pro many years ago. Apparently, this is considered an Upgrade. I do not have the original serial number for whatever product I had purchased in 2005.  Last year, Adobe provided me with a serial number. This year, the company will not. They can confirm that my 9 Pro is legitimate, but I guess they don't believe me when I tell them that I don't have the serial number for the product purchased in 2005.

    No one in these forums has the ability to provide you with a serial number - only Adobe Support can do that.  If your serial number from the last time they gave you one doesn't work then you have no choice but to try to get them to provide you one or find the original one that you should have retained from 2005.  While it might be hard to win any favor with customer support with your forum id as it is, if you are friendly with them they might be more willing to try to help.

    You would have to purchase Acrobat Pro XI in order to get a serial number.
    If you made such a purchase and have not received a serial number, you need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone.

    Hi Sivd3,
    Please make sure the serial number is correct and you are using it on the right version of Acrobat.
    You can send me a private message with the serial number and I can check the same for you if it's valid or not.

    During the years I have reached vesion 9, but I don't have any old serial number.
    What to be done?

    you got a discount because you bought an upgrade version. it needs proof that you own a previous version. more info can be had if you post in the correct acrobat forum. this forum is for questions and comments about the workings (or not as the case may be) of the forums themselves.
