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.

Acrobat 9 Pro license key issue.

Why won't my Acrobat 9 Pro license key work on the install onto my new computer?

I have two days left on my "Trial version". From what I've read in the forums, reinstalling from a link has fixed this issue with other users. Can you send me one? (This is driving me crazier than normal)

Acrobat x pro crashes when I try to flatten a pdf after using typewriter to insert a date

acrobat x pro crashes when I try to flatten a pdf after using typewriter to insert a date.
Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there a fix?
I wanted to download the demo of acrobat XI but it says the previous version will be removed and deactivate the license. That sucks!

Yes it is up to date.
I can use the stamp tool and flatten it after with no problems, but the typewriter tool crashes it upon attempting to flatten.

Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

Hey ilyaz20360341,
Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
Hope to get your response.

Anubha

I have a macbook pro 15" 2007 version 10.6.8 and try to up date to mavericks and it's not allowing too. what should i do?

What does it tell you. If it says it isn't compatible, then you don't have a mid/late 2007 MBP. You might have an early 2007 MBP, which cannot run Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
You can check here to see exactly which MBP you have: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4132
If you hold down the Option key and select System Profiler from the Apple Menu, it will display the model identifier under the Hardware Section.
It must be a macbookpro3,1 or later.

I made a mistake when I downloaded Photoshop in my Mac, I removed and downloaded again, but it's in trial mode and ask me for a licence

I made a mistake when I downloaded Photoshop in my Mac, I removed and downloaded again, but it's in trial mode and ask me for a licence. Lighroom works perfectly, same in my PC Ps and Lighroom works well.
What can I do?

Hi Jaime,
You can follow the article: Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number which will help you to fix this issue.
Let me know if it works or not.
Thanks,

Hi it's puzzled of Evesham....I didn't ask the question but have experienced exactly the same. I switched the computer on and it went straight to safe mode

Installed RoboHelp 11 for trial and it overwrote Acrobat 9 pro with broken version of Acrobat 11 which I can't uninstall.

The subject says it all. I installed Robohelp 11 to try it. Without my permission, the installation nuked my perfectly functional Acrobat 9.0 Pro and replaced it with a completely broken of Acrobat 11, which I neither wanted nor needed. I went to control panel to get rid of it so I could re-install Acrobat 9 Pro, and Acrobat 11 doesn't even appear as an application that can be uninstalled. Yes, the installation is that broken. So now I can't work with PDFs at all. I am more than happy to uninstall the trial of Robohelp to get back Acrobat, but I'm not even sure that will fix the issue since the installation program seems so squirrely. Anyone else had this problem. If so, how did you resolve it? Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

Thanks for your reply. As I mentioned in my post, when I went to Control Panel to uninstall Acrobat 11.0, it wasn't listed among currently installed apps. However, after going back and looking through the Installed On dates in Control Panel, I realized that for some reason, it's called Adobe PFD Creation Add-on XI, rather than Acrobat 11.0. Interestingly, the program folder name in Windows Explorer still uses Acrobat 11.0.
Fortunately for me, I always have disc versions of my software. So I was able to re-install Acrobat 9.0 once I got rid of Adobe PDF Creation Add-on XI. I really wish that Adobe made clearer what extras they are installing with these trial versions :-(
Thanks again.

Acrobat XI Pro Installed, Activated, Cannot Register

Acrobat XI Pro (Mac) was purchased, installed (a valid license key was entered at time of installation), and activated. I did not register it at the time of installation because I did not then have the Adobe ID available. I have subsequently attempted to register the installation with Adobe using the proper Adobe ID.
The first attempt was using the online registration page (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/gpr/index.cfm) but that link yields either a blank page (in Firefox, Safari) or a 404 error (in Internet Explorer) on every computer (Mac and PC) and browser on which I have attempted to use it. The link to that page came from Adobe - Product Registration Options.
Next I attempted to register from within the installed product. When I clicked on Help / Register, I received a message that my TRIAL would expire in 30 days! This would seem to me to indicate that the software was not activated even though I received an activation confirmation at the time I installed. When I used the option to enter the serial number, the window just closed without any other response and when I clicked Help / Register again, I got the same "trial will expire in 30 days" message.
This installation is for a public library, which obtained a download link and license key from Tech Soup, which is a highly reputable, legitimate organization providing limited quantities of reduced-cost software to qualified non-profit organizations. It is for a perpetual standalone license, and it was not installed using Creative Cloud.
I contacted Adobe Help via chat but they were not helpful.
Acrobat XI Pro also was installed and activated on three Windows 7 PCs at the same time. Other than the failed attempts to register online using the link above, I have not yet attempted to register them from within the software.

Yes, I installed 3 different valid license keys on 3 PCs and one valid license key on one Mac. Same problems originally described exist on all, except that I have subsequently been able to register all with Adobe. But I still have the bogus messages about my trial expiring in 30 days even though I installed with valid license keys and activation was confirmed at the time of installation.

Acrobat Pro XI goes to trial mode and signing in fails when printing (in not Adobe programme)

I'm from Finland and when I joined Creative Cloud, I soon found out that Creative Cloud signing in doesn't work in Finnish even though it is possible to install some programmes in Finnish. So I uninstalled everything and installed all the programmes that I am using in English (International). No problem with that.
So I have also installed my Acrobat Pro XI in English and printing / exporting pdfs works fine as long as I am working within Adobe programmes (e.g. InDesign, PhotoShop, Illustrator). The programmes sometimes ask me to sign in but it works fine in English.
However, when I am trying to print or convert content in pdfs via webbrowsers or MS Office programmes (I have them in Finnish), I get a "Adobe Acrobat XI trial mode expired" window in Finnish and I am asked to sign in. When I try to sign in (via "Finnish window" which I cannot change in English at this phase), signing in (= Creative Cloud activation) fails, and the programme asks me to give the registration number. And that I don't have as I am using the programme via Creative Cloud!
I have uninstalled Acrobat Pro XI and installed it again and it did not have any effect.
Do you have any solution to this problem? It is very frustrating that printing pdfs succeeds in Adobe programmes only, it shouldn't work like that. (I am using Adobe programmes (installed locally "from the packadge", not via Createve Cloud) at work and printing pdfs works fine there.

Thank you for your reply. I tried this, unfortunately it didn't solve my problem.
I found the correct keys from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" etc., however, I didn't find the subkey "current" below "Language". I had "UseMUI" and "next" instead. First I tried setting the default UseMUI value to "acrobat.dll". No effect, the same problem came when I tried to print a pdf file using MS Word programme. Then I erased "UseMUI" and created "current" instead and set the default value to "acrobat.dll". No effect but no harm either, it seems.
My operating system is Windows 7 Professional and the language is Finnish. The Microsoft Office programmes that I am using are also Finnish versions. So I do understand that this problems is rooted in the language settings, however, I have no idea how to solve this... I won't change my operating systems in the near future, and I would like to keep on using the Finnish versions of Office programmes...
Is there any other HKEY settings that should perhaps be changed in order to get rid of this problem? Acrobat Distiller settings perhaps? Adobe PDF Maker settings?

Acrobat 9 Pro: Licensing issue prevents Acrobat from opening. What's the fix?

OK - or i should say not OK!!
I am running the licensed version of Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac OSX. It is installed on 2 of my MacBook Pro 17" laptops. These machines are respectively 1 month and 14 months old, and both are completely up-to-date software wise. 3 weeks ago Acrobat presented the error message "Licensing for this product has stopped working" and then quits. Searching through the error logs reveals the following: No matching processes were found. Shutting down licensing service ...
I have meticulously, several times worked through all the recommended steps on the Adobe site to address this issue but to no avail. Booting up in safe mode makes no difference. In desperation I re-installed the OS, but to no avail. My several and extended communications with Adobe online help have left me chatting with what sounded like a couple of uni students from India who had insufficient understanding of English, Macs and Acrobat. After 3 weeks my case has been closed twice by Adobe who report that they believe my issue is resolved and have therefore closed my case. Great!!! What's more, occasionally Safari is presented online with a pdf file which it attempts to load, and then crashes.
This issue has seriously affected my ability to work with and create pdf's which in my work as a medical researcher is essential. To add insult to injury, I have wasted too many precious hours attempting to rectify the situation.
The bottom line is caveat emptor (buyer beware). Adobe it seems are committed to making a sale but not to follow-up, service or genuine concern for their customers. When some company produces a less buggy (and cheaper) alternative I will be definitely be buying their wares.
In the interim, if anybody out there can advise me as to how to get Acrobat working again, I would be most grateful.
Have a great day.
David

When you reinstalled Acrobat, did you use the uninstaller? Also the uninstaller still leaves some files not removed.
If your using OSX.4.11 go to Find file and type in Acrobat, find any files (not .pdf's) that are in the Library > Application support and Preferences. Remove all traces of any of these files. Look both in Main Library, and in Library in your User Folder (has name you gave computer when you installed system).
It appears your have a corrupt file.
Many problems can be traced down to corrupt file(s) in Application Support or Preferences. Preference file will regenerate though any customizations you did will be lost.
Have you installed more than the two Copies allowed (by accident)?
Also, if you have tied to a a common Server/Network and both have computers running at same time, might have caused this. (unless you bought at site license if Adobe sells such).

Acrobat x pro "license agreement" bug on opening

Hi I hope you can help find out how to get rid of this problem, it is urgent that I have access to acrobat documents for my work which is very busy at the moment.
I downloaded and installed Acrobat X Pro as part of the CS6 Design & Web package purchased in May 2012.
Since that time I cannot open any PDF, because an endless loop occurs with a license agreement screen that kicks in every 20 seconds. It is impossible to open any document or create one, because the licence agreement screen requests that I accept or quit, and then pops up again and again and will only stop if I select "quit", which quits the entire application.
I tried uninstalling the software to install it again, but the following error screen pops up:
"The accplication selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller."
I have activated the CS6 Suite with my valid registration number and have already run several of the sortwares already.
Please help because without this software (my old pdf viewer has seemed to dissapear) I cannot work!
Thank you.

How to I install Acrobat X Pro again using the CS6 installer? I have now uninstalled my Acrobat X Pro using windows installer, but I can't find it in the Adobe Download Assistant. I have a serial for CS6 Master Collection, but that serial does not work on a single Acrobat X Pro installation! What do I do?

Acrobat DC Pro Compare 2 Versions Gives Distorted Results

When attempting to compare 2 pdf versions in Acrobat DC Pro, the highlighted results become distorted. Can only view the compare results by hovering over each word or zooming in enough to see the highlighted word. Is this a known issue in DC? We did not have any issue's until we upgraded to DC, XI worked fine.
Here's an example:
We receive the following Error in Event Viewer
Source: SideBySide
Event ID: 80
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 2015\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0. 7601.17514_none_fa396087175ac9ac.manifest. Component 2: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.76 01.17514_none_41e6975e2bd6f2b2.manifest.

Thanks for reporting this issue.
Regrettably, I have not been able to reproduce this problem on my MacOS 10.9.5 with any of my sample PDF files.
Some additional questions:
(1) Does this happen with any and all PDF files you attempt to apply this Preflight profile to?
(2) Are you simply checking or fixing using the profile?
(3) Does Acrobat crash when using other, similar profiles? If so, which do crash and which don't?
(4) Are you using the English version of Acrobat or some other language version?
(5) Do you have any plug-ins installed?
Let me know the answers to these questions and we will try to proceed from there.
