Acrobat XI Pro keeps asking for activation

Hi,
I've got my CC going for couple of months without any problems, recently I've installed Acrobat XI Pro and it was working ok, but for some reason it keeps asking me to license this software after I open a pdf file or launch it manually. When I go to login and it connects correctly its asking me for serial number.. I must launch another Adobe app like Photoshop and the same license window pops out, but right now after I login it goes fine and disappears - right now my Acrobat works fine but I have to do this every day to get it work :/
How can I fix this annoying problem? All other CS programs run fine without asking me to activate but when I start Acrobat even them seem to lose activation info, its strange... Help?
I've checked the Hosts file, checked activation server connectivity, tried to fix Acrobat installation but still nothing..
My OS is Windows 8 64bit
Best Regards,
S.

    I don't know how that is possible, since Cloud accounts do not use a serial number... you download & install & activate Cloud programs with your Cloud log in to your paid account

  • Why does Acrobat X CS6 keep asking for a license number?

    Why does Acrobat X CS6 keep asking for a license number? When I enter it, it's declined. I have the suite from school and loading it at home as allowed as the teacher.

  • Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them

    Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them.  What can I do?

    Try the advice here. I had the same problem and it worked for me.
    You have to delete the "SC Info" folder from /Users/Shared. You will have to use Terminal to enable you to see this folder first. Make sure iTunes is not running when you delete the "SC Info" folder
    There is an article from Apple on this here. The "SC Info" folder contains iTunes authorization information.
    I did this two weeks ago and iTunes accepted by login. I haven't been asked for my AppleID or password since.

  • CS6 and Premiere Elements keeps asking for activation

    Hi
    I am a system engineer in a school. We have a K12 Site license for CS6 and we purchased about 30 single license versions of Premier Elements through certified resellers. I deployed CS6 a few years ago on our old PC's by installing the software on one computer and then cloning the pc 30 times with CloneZilla. That worked fine.
    A year later i repeated the procedure on 25 other computers. No problem there.
    Last summer i did the same to replace the 30 pc's i had cloned the first time. Since then i have to activate CS6 over and over again indicating a trial version. Also the other classroom with 25 pc' began to ask for activation after 2 years with no worries.
    In oktober i Installed Premiere Elements on each individual computer one by one. And that went well for a few months but then all of a sudden PE began to prompt for activation. My collegues drive me crazy with their remarks and worries.
    So far i tried to activate CS6 by creating a serialization file with the adobe application manager. When i run the file and retry the program i am no longer prompted for an activation... for a while.
    There is no way to tell which device will prompt of when. It is random. Sometimes it is just one device, then all of a sudden it are 3-4.
    Please help

    Hi Maarten,
    Adobe Premiere elements 12 (individual license) requires sign in /activation if you have installed individually however you can suppress the sign window using Adobe provisioning toolkit
    In case you have Adobe volume license for PRE 12. Please visit the link below to find the workflow.
    Deploy Premiere Elements 11 and earlier | Windows
    Thanks,

  • Acrobat 8 Pro Installation asks for a non-existent file

    I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my Alienware laptop, FINALLY replacing the beta version. When I try to run the installation of Acrobat Pro 8 it gets most of the way through then stops, putting up a dialog instructing me to install my Vista DVD and point to AdobePDF.dll which is to be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Xtras\AdobePDF\i386. This, of course, is absurd, as there is not such folder on any installation disk ... but I happen to have a Vista install disk, so I looked anyway, searching all over the disk with no luck. Then I looked on my Windows 7 disk. No success in finding the errant file there, either. They I checked that folder on my desktop computer, which has the identical operating system. I found an AdobePDF64.dll file and offered it to the installer, but it didn't like it. I even checked an old WinXP 32-bit computer I had laying around, but no such file exists there. I'm stuck. I cancelled out of the dialog demanding the .dll file and the installation proceeded to conclusion. The resulting Acrobat installation reads PDFs fine, but doesn't write them. Any clues?
    Thanks,
    Lanny T.

    Thanks for chiming in, Bill, but it seems like you missed my comment about checking my other computer, same OS, same Acrobat 8, and it installed fine into 64-bits. It didn't ask for any files from other disks, and I've been using it on that system for almost two years in that environment. I am puzzled, though, as to why all files needed for installation of any program would not be included on the installation disk.

    Hi,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • 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.

  • Trying to activate Adobe elements 12 on other laptop, the one it was on crashed. ser number [removed by moderator]. The new laaptop it is installed keeps asking for activation.

    I woold like to activate the photoshop elements 12 on a different laptop, the other one crashed

    What is preventing you from using the serial number to activate it on the new machine?   You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations so you should be able to with having to ask for a reset.
    If you o need a reset due to having activated twice already then contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask for an activation reset...

  • My new MacBook Pro keeps asking for my password in any application that I am in. I transferred from old Mac Pro via Time Machine

    My new MBP will randomly ask for my password. It doesn't matter what application I am in, it could be in the middle of watching a dvd. The window will pop up.This is my second MBP, my last one kept crashing, and it was finally replaced. Can anyone help, please?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select

    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Yahoo Mail: on Mac Pro (keeps asking for my password and then doesn't work)

    I have used Yahoo Mail through my Mac Pro Mail Account for years and enjoyed fine service.
    For the last few months, the Mac Mail says I have the wrong password, and it won't allow me to access
    mail.
    If I change the password, it will work for a while (days) and the cycle starts all over again.
    Sometimes, I stop using Mac Mail and use Yahoo off the web, and then suddenly Mac Mail will start working
    on its own again.
    I read a thread for earlier in the year and tried every single thing suggested - this still happens
    I have used Yahoo mail for 22 years - but maybe it is time to switch?
    Gmail never has this problem...but I use the Yahoo mail for my business, my friends, and groups.
    Anyone with a working solution?
    PS: My Yahoo email ALWAYS 100% of the time works on my iphone, and ipad...this only happens on my Mac Pro.

    You don't have a Mac Pro (*65lb tower) but a notebook.
    There is a support page and setup wizard to help plus links to support articles and community.
    you may have to rebuild mail index or see if you can export, (re)move the existing mail folder and setup a new one and import old mail. Mail does and can have its issues for sure.

  • Windows keeps asking for activation

    I installed windows through bootcamp (no problem) and when it asked to be activated I did (word to the wise, if using fusion wait until then). So after installing fusion I had to call Microsoft to reactivate Windows and Word. Now if I go into my partition directly, meaning not virtually, but through bootcamp it still asks me to activate windows.
    What gives? I'm afraid that if I activate it, then fusion will ask to reactivate and the whole thing will keep going.
    Help!

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    I assume that you used your BootCamp Windows for the Windows Installation in Fusion, right ?
    Since Windows uses the native (physical) hardware when in BootCamp and virtualized hardware when in Fusion, it always thinks that it is running on a 'new computer' which leads to the reactivation process.
    It might be possible to overcome this.
    Have a look at the Fusion support page: http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/support.html
    Good Luck
