Acrobat XI Pro loads as trial version, not registered version, after MB & CPU swap, it is registered

I have been a registered user of Acrobat since version 3.01. Never had a problem until now!
The CPU on my MB died last month so I had to replace the CPU, MB (and I upgraded the memory).
When I rebooted the new system (with my existing hard drive) Acrobat XI Pro now shows up as a trial version. Not regsitered, which it does show up as on the the Adobe website.
What should I do?

Thank You
I am not PC illiterate, been building them there thangs fer nigh on 25 years.
I don’t know how you could have responded within 2 minutes, unless your last name is Adobe.
I was just afraid to try in case it got me into deeper water.
Suspecting that you might be a member of the Adobe team or a very loyal Adobe fan (to have responded so quickly) I went for it.
As you knew, yes it worked but I don’t feel foolish, sometime the better part of valor…, etc.
Thanks a lot.

  • Acrobat Pro reverts to trial version after 15 days.

    Hi,
    I am having an issue where acrobat 11 reverts to a trial version of sorts after 15 days.  I am utilizing APTEE to generate a .xml file with my volume license key.
    A. What check is the product executing for this.
    B. Can i disable that "check" as my machines will not have an internet connection.
    thanks.

    Hi nayr6,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    What is the current version of Acrobat installed? Are you the Administrator user of the machine?
    Do you have domain admin rights or local admin rights.
    You cant disable the license check for application.
    Share your serial number with private message option, do not post the serial number on this thread.
    Regards,
    Ajlan Huda.

  • Premiere Pro only giving Trial Version after hardware change

    I am a teacher at a high school.  We have CS6 installed on our machines.  Recently, I was having problems with the machine hooked up to my projector not getting signal to the projector.  Since our computer techs fixed the hardware to correct that problem, our Premiere Pro had only opened as a Trial Version.  Now it says that the trial has ended.  Do I need to re-install the product?  Will I be able to install it without taking up an extra license?
    I tried to get help via adobe web chat, but I was told my only option was the forum.  Any help would be appreciated.

    your trial window should give you the option to license.  click that option and enter your serial number when prompted.

  • Licensed Version of Acrobat XI Pro reverted to trial version

    I've been using Acrobat XI Professional since June 2013 when it was installed on a new laptop from work. For the past few days I've been getting a popup whenever I open an Acrobat file claiming the trial is almost up. Now I cannot open it at all (unless I click a button that says "Begin Trial"). The only other option is to input the serial number -- which I dont' have because it is through work. Have a ticket in at work, but thought I'd ask here as well to see if anyone else has had this problem. Tried the Acrobat Chat and the support guy kept saying, "What is your serial number?"

    Ugh. Here's a transcript of the "help" that was provided by Adobe:
    Inder: I have checked for your serial number, It is showing as expired.
    Jonathan Lee: OK . . . How does a serial number expire for a piece of purchased software?
    Inder: In that case you need to contact to your vendor from where did you purchase the Acrobat XI.
    Inder: They will provide you the new serial number.
    Jonathan Lee: Urgh. This was a corporate purchase, and I no longer work at the company. No one told me that my serial number was ever going to expire. Is there a subscription system here? I thought that once the software was bought, it was bought.
    Inder: Yes, I agree. Since in few cases it got expired,
    Jonathan Lee: Yes?
    Inder: I suggest you to contact to your vendor or retailer to get the new serial number.
    Jonathan Lee: OK. That's impossible, since I don't work for the company that provided the serial number in the first place. So I'm stuck purchasing Acrobat Pro again?
    Inder: I might be possible. Please contact to your retailer, he could provide you the correct reason.
    Jonathan Lee: OK. I'll try...
    Inder: Is there anything else I can help you with?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Mac Pro 2006 won't boot after attempted cpu swap, Mac Pro 2006 won't boot after attempted cpu swap

    I just picked up a used Mac Pro 1,1 (2006).  It has 2x2.0 GHz dual-core processors and 5GB of RAM with the 7300GT card. 
    In this configuration, the machine was running perfectly.  I, of course, wanted to upgrade....
    I ordered a pair of 5160 3.0GHz processors cheaply and followed a video tutorial to install them.  I used Arctic Cleaner and Arctic Silver 5 for the thermal paste.
    Bottom line is:  I installed the two new processors and when I fired it up, I could hear the fans, optical drive and hard drives all spinning (normal fan speed - NOT "jet mode", and the HD sounds like it's spinning - NOT like it's booting).  NO boot chime and NO display.  I popped the cover off and saw the CPU B FAIL light on.  I swapped CPUs to test the processor, expecting to see the CPU A FAIL light come on.  It did not. It just powered the fans/drives with no result (again, with no boot chime and no display).
    To make a long and frustrating story short, I wound up putting one of the original 2.0GHz processors in slot A, leaving B empty (maybe I damaged the socket?) and IT STILL WILL NOT BOOT.  I have tried all of my processors - the original 2.0GHz and the new 3.0GHz ones - with the same result.  There are NO symtoms or indications - no error LEDs, no beeps - no indication why this machine will not boot.
    I have reset the SMC, pulled (and replaced) the coin battery, and left it unplugged for over an hour.  I have re-seated everything I can think of.
    As of rigt now, I can hear the fans quietly humming with the optical drive making a quiet "click" sound as it seeks for a disk to read, and I can hear the faint chatter of the HD head.  The power LED is nice and bright (no flashes or pulses), and there are no red LEDs on inside the case.  The memory LEDs flash once during bootup and that's it (it's the RAM the machine came with).  Pressing the DIAG LED button tells me the machine has power (green LED), has trickle (yellow LED) and the GPU light flashes green.
    Of note, during the swap, I got a tiny bit of thermal paste (non conductive) on the contacts of my 2.0 CPUs - which I cleaned off with alcohol and let dry.  The gold contacts all appear to be good on the original processors.  I can't really see the tiny little pins in the CPU sockets (my eyes are not as young as they used to be!), but the "look" like they're all there.
    I'm going to leave this unplugged overnight, but does anyone have any ideas??  If I managed to somehow destroy ALL of the CPUs, wouldn't I get a warning LED or beep or something?  Ideas are welcome, as I cannot afford to replace this machine - it has to get me the rest of the way through college.
    thanks
    Richard

    Hello Grant
    >
    Hardware sets the fans to maximum, and only properly-operating software resets them to "normal levels. If you have fans at normal levels, some software is running.
    >
    That's what I was thinking, but I'm not even getting the startup chime, and the HD sounds like it's powered on but not doing anything.
    EDITED TO ASK:  what software could be running at this point?  Nothing has loaded from the HD, that much I know...
    >Do you still have CPU A or CPU B failure lights?
    No.  I have just one original processor installed in the CPU A socket.  No lights of any kind.  (Even if I install an original processor in CPU B, I still occasionall will get a CPU B FAIL light, so I'm thinking I damaged the socket somehow...the light will not be consistent, but it's always the CPU B FAIL light - the light only turns on some of the time (and stays on once lit) - so that's why I pulled the B processor and am simply trying to boot with A alone)
    >Do you have a flashing power on light, indicating failed or no memory?
    Again, no.  I can "make" the light flash by removing the memory riser, but when I re-install the riser, the light stops blinking (with power off during removal/install, of course!)
    >Have you done the more severe SMC reset with the reset button OR:
    unplug AC power.
    Yes.  I have used the SMC reset button 3 or 4 times.  I unplugged the machine and left it (with coin battery installed) for an hour.  The last thing I did last night was that I left it unplugged overnight (with coin battery removed).  I have yet to attempt a power on this morning.  I will do so and report back.
    >
    unplug AC power.
    Press and hold power-on for a quarter minute to drain the power capacitors.
    Re-plug AC power.
    wait a quarter minute.
    then power on.
    >
    Haven't done that one yet.  (Didnt know about it!).  Will try that second today, after attempting the initial boot up after leaving it unplugged all night.  (fingers crossed)  Of course, the capacitors are likely discharged now after being unplugged and battery-less all night, but you never know...
    >Many things have to get synchronized after a CPU swap. It may take a half-dozen reset attempts before everything lines up again and goes.
    Thanks for the hope.   I will keep trying.
    >
    I recommmend you remove ALL distractions: all drives, all graphics cards, all PCI cards, all USB devices -- until you get the chime nothing else matters.
    Already have done so.  Last night I was down to 1 original CPU (CPU A), one memory riser with 1 set of original 1GB DIMMS, 1 bootable HD and nothing else (not even a keyboard/mouse - literally NOTHING else).   Will keep trying in this configuration.  All I really wanted last night was to hear the "bong" at power on!
    Will do a bit more troubleshooting today and will report back.
    Thank you!

  • Error Message With Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Free Trial Version

    Hi,
    I know that this is a holiday weekend, but I need assistance with Adobe Acrobat 9 Free Trial Version.  I downloaded it, and then created a PDF file from MS Word 2007.  I tried to print, but the "save as" command popped up.  I had already saved it, so it already had a document name.  I tried resaving it and it would not do so.  Here's the error message that I received:
    "Adobe PDF cannot access the file because it is in use by another application process.  Verify that the file is not open by another application or process and try again.
    I did not have another app open.  Also, during this time, the software setup box kept popping up.  I kept selecting the 30 day trial version, but nothing would happen after I selected the button.  I am using the Vista OS on my computer.  I also have the Adobe Reader 9 which I have had for a while.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the free version of Adobe Acrobat 9 and got the same result as described above.  If someone can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks.
    Michelle Williams

    You have a problem. You cannot have Reader and Acrobat Pro on the same computer. It causes problems. Normally, I'd tell you to uninstall Reader and re-install Acrobat Pro, but doing so might make your trial fail and you cannot get two trials. For the moment when trying to create a pdf file, try printing to the the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
