Activating Adobe Acrobat Pro X on Laptop

I am attempting to activate Pro X on my new laptop with Windows 8.1 and am getting a message that my registration number is correct but that I need to furnish another "qualifying" registration number from Adobe Acrobat Pro 7,8 or 9. I don't have any of those qualifying registrations (checked Adobe account online). Several years ago, I purchased Pro X as an upgrade, and it has been working on my desktop. Suggestions? Thank you!

Acrobat CAN NOT be installed on a server. This is CLEARLY spelled out in the EULA that accompanies it.
If you need PDF technology from Adobe for server-side, that would be our LiveCycle/ADEP family of products.

Installing Adobe Acrobat Pro on Laptop & New PC

Previously submitted on 9/02/12 but pressed for an answer quickly, please.
I have previously installed Adobe Acrobat Pro on a laptop and a desktop computer. I had to replace the desktop with a new system having Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I have installed the Windows XP Virtual system to run several legacy programs crucial to my business. I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5 in the Windows 7 operating system and now need it installed in the XP Virtual system to access the Adobe printer for use with the legacy programs. How do I accomplish this feat?
Does the XP virtual installation count as a 3rd installation which is not allowed by my license even though this computer is the 2nd computer permitted by my license? If so, it seems I might be penalized.
Help, please. Is there an option in lieu of purchasing a new license?
Thanks in advance for all responses.

Installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 on a new laptop, but it doesn't accept my serial number

Hello,
On my old laptop I had installed and licensed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I retired my old laptop and bought a new one. I want to install Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 now on the new one. But seemingly my serial number is not accepted any more. That's what I did so far
1. Downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html
2. Retrieved my serial number from Adobe ID (it matched what I have found out locally on my old computer)
2. Started the installation
3. Entered my serial number when asked for. Then I get a message "Invalid Serial Number"
Who can help please?
Best regards,
Dr. Rolf Schlagenhaft (Freescale Semiconductor)

Moving this discussion to the Acrobat installation & Update Issues forum.
RolfSchlagenhaft there are no registered Adobe software titles under the account you are posting to the Adobe forums with. You will want to attempt to locate the account which has your registered serial number. You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. If you need assistance locating the account which contains your serial number then please contact our support team at Contact Customer Care.
Finally if you have a volume license for Acrobat 9 Professional then the installation files are only available at https://licensing.adobe.com/. The installation files you downloaded are for the retail version of Acrobat 9 Professional. This may be another cause of you receiving the message that your serial number is invalid.

How can I move Adobe Acrobat Pro from my old laptop to my new one?

A few years ago I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro. I recently purchased a new laptop. As such, I'd like to install Adobe Acrobat Pro on the new machine, however; I don't want to have to purchase it again. Does anyone know how I can move it from my old laptop to my new one?

I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.

I bought the Adobe Acrobat Pro on Disc, then realized my new laptop doesn't have a CD drive. Can I just download it with my serial number or do I have to send it back?

I bought a new laptop after mine was stolen. I also purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro on Disc. I then realized my new steady state laptop doesn't have a CD drive... Can I download the software with my serial number or do I have to send it back and purchase the downloadable version?

I also purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
Which version?
You can simply download the installer from Adobe, install then enter your serial number when prompted.

I have a monthly subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro. Can I load it on both my desktop and laptop?

I have a monthly subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro. Can I load it on both my desktop and laptop?

Hi glennm98649874,
Absolutely yes! You can install your Acrobat subscription on up to two computers like your desktop & laptop.
Install Acrobat and use the same Adobe ID credentials to activate the software on both the machines.
Try and let me know if you need further help.

Can I use a buisness version of Adobe Acrobat Pro on a computer that has already an active adobe ID with personal (non buisness versions) programms?

I have an Abode ID with Photoshop for private use.
For work I need an updated version of Adobe acrobat pro.
But how can I get it to work on the same computer?
Can I add a buisness version to the Adobe (private) ID?
Or can I use 2 adobe ID's at the same time?

I don't think there are such things as business and non-business versions of software as far as Adobe is concerned. How you manage the installations of the software you purchase from them is your call. If there is some protocol for doing this that is defined by your workplace then you should inquire with whomever manages that protocol.

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 purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key doesn't work/fit into any of the "Registration" templates I've look through on the Adobe website. Manufacturer Part # 65195473.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download code via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key given doesn't work/fit into the boxes on any of the "Register" pages on the Adobe website. Therefore, although I paid for the product and it is downloaded, it is not "installed" and will not work to print documents from emails, etc.

Hi williamc48321229,
You must have received redemption code via email from the reseller.
Please ensure that you are entering the right code as that would be needed to obtain the serial number for activating the product.
For more details on this, please refer:

Hope this helps.

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Missing Deactivation in drop down

I work for a small business. Plenty of users have this product Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. There is SIMPLY NOT a Deactivation button in the Help drop down. CONTRARY to what Adobe's help says online, this is NOT working and it's kind of ridiculous I have to work so hard to deactivate this product to install it again. That should be elementary. Any help appreciated so I can get my people working again using this product would be so great. Thank You

Hi forumdweller,
You're right; it should not be a chore to deactivate your software. You mention that you work for a small business; did that business buy a volume license for Acrobat? If so, so there wouldn't be a Deactivate option, and you'd have to contact the volume licensing administrator in your office for help.
If Acrobat was part of a suite, then try deactivating from another product in the suite.
Please see Activation & Deactivation Help.
Best,

Adobe Acrobat Pro (and Safari) take minutes to quit!!!

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 (and Apple Safari 4.0.4) take several minutes to quit on Mactel with Mac OS X 10.5.8. I thought that they had frozen after selecting to quit such applications, or logout, restart or shutdown the Mac, but if I leave the Mac for several minutes, they eventually quit.
What can it be? The Console does not indicate any special activity.

Update:
If I open Acrobat or Safari and immediately or after a while I quit them, they quit quickly as expected. No problem. But if I leave them all day open and then try to quit them, then:
- Acrobat takes several minutess to quit. Console shows nothing. After a while, Activity Monitor shows Acrobat (Not responding) taking about 5% CPU and also spindump taking about 10% CPU. Eventually spindump does not show and after some minutes, Safari shows as normal (without the not responding red label), and a few seconds later it quits normally.
- Safari takes several minutess to quit. It shows the same behavior, but this time Console shows: PopChar installed fonts changed.
