ACROBAT XL PRO SERIAL NUMBER ISSUES AFTER INSTALLATION

Bought a new computer with Windows 8 OS. Went to my account in Adobe and downloaded my Acrobat XL Pro. Installation seemed to go well. However, the first time I used the software I was prompted to enter the serial number. I did and now I ALWAYS get the following message any time I use the software: Serial Number is valid but not for this product. Choose from one of the products given. The only product that somewhat matches in the drop down box is the Acrobat XL Standard. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still receive the same message every time I use it. The software does seem to work, but seems to respond slower and I always have to click the QUIT button on the message above in order to move forward.
Frustrated that I cannot find a support phone number to get help with this issue.

You purchased (or were sold) an upgrade, at reduced price. During install it wants the serial of the qualifying product.
The qualifying product is the older version of Acrobat which you must own before buying an upgrade. So just type THAT old serial number, when asked.

Acrobat XI pro serial number issues

I have just upgraded my pc to a larger SSD and win 8. and reinstalled XI pro with the serial number originally provided (I have double checked the serial number online).
When I attempt to start XI pro I receive a message stating the serial number is valid but a qualifying product could not be found. The 'select a product' drop down does not include XI pro so I can't re-enter the serial number.
Any suggestions?

The software you purchased was an upgrade. It is asking for proof of the older version of Acrobat you owned before.

Adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid"

I recently had my macbook pro logic board fail and had to purchase a new macbook pro (expensive reinvestment after only 3 years but that's another story).
Anyway, all of my cs4 upsell products loaded just fine, except adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid." After contacting adobe thru chat several times, here is the info I got back: my serial number IS valid, I still can activate 3 more times (deactivation was not an issue in this case), the final answer was the cs1 server (my previous version before cs4) is no longer available which basically renders my version of acrobat unusable. Is that really the case? Now that I have a new computer I can't use that software any longer it was working fine on my old laptop? Why did all the other software load okay? Did I miss something or is buying another upgrade neccessary?
ps: using Macbook Pro with MacOS X.8.5

Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver are all working just fine. I haven't needed any other apps yet since the reinstall. Install actually worked fine too for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I try to open anything in it I get the Software Setup Screen and it wants me to enter the serial number for the product, when I do it says the serial number is invalid. I included a screen shot below with the serial number removed so you can see. In chatting with adobe, my rep said it is a valid number (obviously since it worked fine on my other apps), but the server for CS1 is no longer available and since I have an upsell from CS1 they cannot offer me support and to take my question to the forum board, so here I am.

I am trying to install CS3 on Windows 8 and keep getting a message saying "the serial number I entered is not valid please enter it again" Does anyone know how to install successfully on Windows 8?

CS3 is unsupported under Windows 8. That said, you'll need to contact Adobe
directly for serial number issues.

Please Help! Error message: Incorrect serial number, The serial number you entered is not valid. Click OK to retry serial number.???

My old PC crashed and died, and I am unable to deactivate the licence of Photoshop Elements 7.
I re-installed Photoshop Elements 7 via a trial download from Adobe website onto my new PC, Windows 8.1 single language.
My serial number is not accepted.
Error message: 'Incorrect serial number, The serial number you entered is not valid. Click OK to retry serial number'.
Customer help care is not helpful and keep ending my chat before I get a solution.
Can someone please help me and let me know how I can rectify this problem!!!

Thank you Benjamin MItchley. I reviewed the chat log and I can confirm that they are correct we do not provide installation support for Photoshop Elements 7 due to the age of the software title. Photoshop Elements 7 also does not support activation so there is no risk that you were unable to deactivate the software on your previous computer.
I am showing the serial number under your account was provided from an equipment manufacturer. It is possible there may have been a customized installer for that version. Have you contacted the computer manufacturer to obtain the installation files for the copy of Photoshop Elements 7 included with your computer?
Since you did not migrate/transfer over any files it is unlikely there is a software issue preventing the installation. You can try running the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure that no corrupt licensing files may be preventing the installation process. You can find details of the use of the CC Cleaner Tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

Acrobat XI Pro Serial Number Invalid after transfer to new Mac

I recently got the new MacBook Pro OS X 10.9 and when I started up my computer I transferred all of my information over to my new Mac from my old MacBook (2008 version).
I was happy that my Acrobat XI Pro transfered over, but it only transfered as a "trial" software and all previous records of purchasing my sofware in my account at Adobe are now gone. I thought I would be fine because the trial software frequently reminds me that it is a trial, and prompts me for my serial number. I have my serial number from my previous Acrobat saved and entered that number. When I do, this message pops up,
"This serial number is not valid for Acrobat XI Pro. You can either use a valid serial number for Acrobat XI Pro or use this serial number on the appropriate product."
What???
Please help, my trial ends soon and I've run out of options. I can't lose this expensive software!

Hi NLC alamo,
Adobe does not recommend using any migration software to transfer the software.
Please remove Acrobat and reinstall it and use the serial number to activate it.

Problem with serial number! It is not valid!

Hello,
i'm Italian and recently I downloaded the trial version of Flash Professional... when the 30 days ended I was asked to fill in a serial number! And that's the problem: my teacher gave me several serial numbers but they are not valid!
Please, speak Italian if you can! If not no problem! I'm fluent in English too!

Acrobat X Pro - serial number and languages issue

Hello!
My OS is in English but I'm used to use the Adobe suite in French, so I bought the french version.
While installing all was OK, the serial number worked.
Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop work perfectly.
But when I try to launch Acrobat, it askes me for the serial number. It somehow automatically detects North America while I'm in Europe. And my serial number doesn't work (This serial number is not valid for your product).
I tryed to change the system language to French and Acrobat worked correctly without asking for the serial.
Back to English, it asks me for the serial...
Does anybody have an idea of how to solve issue?? I really hate having my OS in French...
Thanks!
Larissa

I got the answer somwhere else, so I copy here the link if it may be helpfull for someone: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110522014935224

Acrobat 9 Pro - Serial Number Problem - 3 Separate Licenses

I own 3 separate licenses of Acrobat 9 Pro and have owned several licenses going clear back to Acrobat 6. We have used them on the office computers and home or laptop just as the license authorizes.
Recently we had a problem of employees getting confused as to which license or Serial Number of 9 Pro was installed on which machine and apparently the number of authorized installs was exceeded.   The solution to that was to go around and try to determine which SN was installed on which computer.
With all prior versions, this was an easy task. You simply clicked on the Help tab and selected the About option and it gave you a screen that showed the SN of the license installed on that computer.   That way you could keep straight which was installed on which, and you could that way monitor employees so that the authorized number of installs were not exceeded and that deactivation had been done properly. We had a new computer we needed to install 9 Pro on but we needed to know the SN on the old machine in order to make sure we had the deactivation done properly.
I was taken by surprise to discover that this method of determining the installed SN would not work on 9 Pro. The "About" screen showed no SN. It showed patent information and credits, but no SN. I checked this on all three licenses and it was the same on each one.
I called Tech Support and got into the support problem from Hell over what should be a simple issue. I went through 4 separate techies and 5 different calls. After spending most of the day dealing with this issue, and a substantial loss of revenue. I was given completely wrong information by 3 of the techies (called lies in my culture) and the 4th one claimed there was no possible way to determine the SN of the license running on any individual computer under 9 Pro.
I then called the sales department for volume licensing and was told that if I bought 3 licenses under the volume license program, I could have one serial number and get rid of the 3 SN problem. I was told that I could get a refund on my 3 separate licenses and this would fix my problem. I stated 3 times that I would buy the volume licenses only if I was guaranteed a refund for the 3 separate licenses. Each time I was assured that would occur. After the new sale for the volume licenses was completed, I was transferred to another department for the refunds and the refund request was refused!!!!   It took the rest of that day and part of the next to get a response back from the sales person that sold me the volume licenses and get that transaction cancelled. They still charged my credit card and then it took several more days to get that reversed. On top of all of that, Adobe keeps attempting to close my support incident claiming it is resolved when it most certainly is not.
I have been computing for over 20 years and I would have to say this was the worst tech support treatment I have ever experienced. I am simply amazed and disgusted. As a user of Acrobat over many years, I am so mad that if 10 users wanted to file a class action suit against Adobe, I might do it for nothing.
Can anyone tell me if there is any way to determine the SN of the license of 9 Pro that is running on a computer? If not, how else can you keep straight which install is on which computer and which needs to be deactivated when you replace the computer or try to move it to another?
This would seem to me to be a huge problem and I am extremely surprised that Adobe seems to simply be ignoring it and that the tech support people are telling fibs.
Any information would be most appreciated.

Sorry that you got such a hassle. Try this. I don't have Acrobat 9 per se, but I have the TCS2 and found the following.
Run Regedit (all the serious warning apply here. Look but don't touch).
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHNINE->SOFTWARE->Adobe->Repair->Adobe Acrobat->9.0->IOD Look under the entry under SERIAL.
Maybe it works maybe it doesn't. But it might help.

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - serial number rejected as invalid

I bought Adobe Acrobat XI Pro at Amazon.
While running a trial version, I installed the product from the CD. It installed the newly purchased product concurrently. While trying to register, Adobe detects the XI Pro installation, but comes back with a message that the serial number is invalid. I checked the number and it is exacly what is printed in the CD sleve. I tried to chat with an agent, but it is impossible. No matter how many hours I wait, nobody picks up my request.

Acrobat 8 Professional serial number issue

i recently upgraded to a new Mac and transferred files and programs to the new Mac. when i try to use Acrobat 8 Professional to view and edit a PDF, a window pops up asking for the serial number. when i add the serial number, i get an error stating that the serial number is invalid. ??????

Hi lorena pape,
Have you used any migration software to transfer the software from the old Mac to the new Mac?
Try installing it from the purchased disk and retry.
Assuming that the new Mac has Mavericks installed, Acrobat 8 has not been tested on Mac Mavericks and you might face compatibility issues.
