Adobe Acorobat 8 standard OEM - Reinstall

I've had a computer crash, so I need to change motherboard and processor...
The hard disk with all data stored is ok; on this machine I have installed Acrobat 8 Standard OEM, so I''d like to know how to do to reinstall the software once I'll have changed motherboard and processor. Now i can't use the PC, and I don't know how to de-licence the software installed in order to re-licence once re-installed the machine.
If someone knows the procedure your help will be appreciated
(I have the original CD with original licence code, supplied with the PC)

Good day,
You should be able to reinstall and activate your software again once your machine is back up and running. Our activation policy allows you to install and activate the software on up to two computers. I don't think the inability to deactivate your existing installation should cause you any trouble.
Let us know if you have trouble when you try to reinstall and we'll try to lend a hand!
Kind regards,
David

Adobe 6 Standard OEM

We have some brand new Adobe 6 Standard discs that are still sealed and have never been installed on a PC. They are part Number 90046061 and state they are CDS/A,ACRO,6.0,WIN,OEMBD,UE. Can we install these on existing PC's here at our company? I want to make sure all of our licensing stays legit. Thanks for your help.

Macs store applications all nice and tidy in their own folders (with the exception of a few small files). The applications do not share resources like they do on Windows. They are handled like two completely seperate applications (like they shoiuld be).
Windows shares these resources between "some" applications. Acrobat and Reader are two of them.

How do I reinstall an OEM version of Adobe Acrobat Standard X

I have an OEM card for Adobe Acrobat Standard X. I cannot download the trial of this and then activate it becasue the download automatically goes to Acrobat Pro and then says the serial number I have is invalid. I cannot go to the store because I do not have an order ... it came as an OEM software with the computer I purchased. I cannot call anyone as there is no number listed. The website listed on the card takes me through the deadend circle expalined above of the Acrobat Pro Trial with an invalid serial number. So does anyone have any ideas?

Yes ... Jeff's forum link supplied the link to Dell of https://smartsource.dell.com. I did purchase the Standard version with a Dell, so I will go try to download it from the link to Dell. Thank you both. It is too bad that Dell does supply that link by putting a sticker on the card ... I think that would save a lot of people time and avoid frustration. I have had simular difficulties with OEM software cards in the past, but usually can get around it by downloading a trial version first. Again, thanks.

How to Reinstall Acrobat X Standard OEM

We recently bought 40 computers for our company that came with Acrobat X preinstalled (and cards with their serial #s for reinstall for each). To simplify their roll-out, we sysprepped them all and now want to reinstall Acrobat X Standard on them using the licenses/serial #s we have on hand. But I can't find ANYWHERE to download Acrobat X Standard to reinstall - please help!

Hi MargoTSG,
As we don't offer a trial of Acrobat X Standard, there isn't just a full-time available download source unless the licenses were purchased directly from Adobe as ESD. Your best bet is to contact the OEM who provided the machines to see if a copy of the software was provided with the computers (buried on some installation disk) or if they have an ESD available.

Reinstall Adobe Acrobat Standard 9

Hello,
I recently had a hardware malfunction and had to replace my Surface Pro. I purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 and want to reinstall it on the new tablet but cannot find a link to the installation files. I have the serial number in my Adobe account but can only find install files for updates.
Can anyone direct me to the full installation link for Standard 9?
Thanks,
George

During the install of an upgrade, you should be asked for the serial number of the previous version. You should always keep backups of downloaded software and the serial numbers. As long as you registered, Adobe should be able to help you with the serial number. I am not sure why the Std version is not available for download. The Pro version is with a little searching. Though not said, I wonder if the Pro version would install with the Standard SN and work as standard -- I really don't know, but some software vendors wrap all of the versions into a single distribution and the only difference comes with the serial number.

Adobe X standard quit working on Sept 16th. Reinstall from disc failed.

Adobe X standard quit working on Sept 16th. Tried to reinstall from disk, then from Adobe Download. Both setups "rolled back" and failed. Downloaded Adobe XI Pro (trial version) and it installed and ran fine. Adobe X Standard is paid for and should work.

Hi,
Please follow this document: Acrobat X and XI installation rollback | Windows 64 bit
Thank You

Adobe Acrobat Standard 10 download

I have a license for Adobe Acrobat Standard X but no media (this is a new Dell computer). I've looked all over the site and I get directed to Adobe Acrobat Pro X to download. I tried downloading Pro X and using my license but that failed since it's only a license for Acrobat Standard.
If someone could please direct me to the location for Acrobat Standard 10 download I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Same question here. I'm all about saving the planet by not providing media--except when it is also used opportunistically to help augment sales of the upstream products (in this case, Acrobat Pro, which I'm sure will be the end result of this being so obfuscating, at least for many ... nothing like good, old fashioned trickery to drive sales!).
As a sidenote/editorial on this: Kudos to Microsoft, as they have recently really loosened the reigns with locking serial numbers to specific versions of core software (e.g., Windows, Office)--and also have begun providing easily located download locations for these products that are available to the public. Without a serial number, you picka version and run a trial. Want to activate one? No problem--pop the serial number/product number in for the version you own, and bang! You activate the version you have a license for. It's not rocket science, but it is progress--and it punishes paying customers far less than these earlier practices of hiding media/downloads and serial locking used to.
Anyway, the card for Adobe Acrobat X Standard we received simply says:
DO NOT DISCARD
this card includes the serial number for Adobe Acrobat X Standard. Keep this card in a safe place. you will need the serial number to reinstall the software.

[Something in Spanish]
[Something in German]
Product Serial Number
The flip side has UPC / SKU information.
So let me see if I missed any of the proposed solutions offered so far, none of which (it seems to me) offer any type of workable solution whatsoever:
Download the Pro version instead, or the updates for the software you don't have, using the first link proposed. Problem: You can't install/activate the Standard software using the available Pro download, and the updates don't install the software.
Contact Adobe. Problem: You didn't buy the software from them, ergo, it's not their problem, and they probably won't help you.
Oh, for crying out loud, you're still buying software, why don't you just download cracked versions like smart people? Problem: It's an interesting proposition, but not really workable in a business environment.
Did I miss any?
I called Dell Pro Support the day we received the first system like this. Why? One day, I know I will need it, and won't have the time to deal with it when we do. Call me crazy ... I guess I'm a planner.
Quick as a flash, Dell's suggestions were as follows:
Rev. 1: "Just download it." This is such an elegant solution! I don't know why I had not thought of this before. Only a fool couldn't figure out instructions so crisp, clean, and elegant. One snag--I'm apparently a fool, but smart enough to know I'm a fool, so I pointed out that I need some more specific information than that.
Rev. 2: "Download it from Adobe's site." This is even better. I love specific, foolproof solutions like "use [their] website"! The web is just dripping with awesome!! And with only (conservatively) a trillion odd webpages out there, you can find anything! One pointed problem though: fools (like me) have problems sifting through all those pesky pages, especially finding software that isn't available to download. Still, it feels we're making progress. I protest my foolishness yet again to the support technician ... maybe we could guide my foolish fingers through the process of finding something as obvious as "... Adobe's site."
Rev. 3: "You can download it from CNET's Download.com site" This was very exciting news. Apart from one thing--they do (unbeknownst to me, but apparently knownst to Dell) offer a download of Acrobat 9 Standard. Actually something I did *not* already know, but as a certified fool, I deem the process of using an Acrobat X Standard serial number to activate a downloaded copy of Acrobat 9 Standard too prone to failure, so we continue ...
Rev. 4: "Well, you'll have to contact Adobe for help with this, we are just the reseller." As a fool who has been on this treadmill before, I explain that Adobe's support is trained to quickly spot and root out fools like me the instant we call. They use trickery like, "You'll have to contact the OEM for support on this software. If they truly run out of options, they can internally escalate and contact our product support team directly." At this point, I thank the technician emphatically for his earnest efforts at helping someone so foolish with such a silly problem as not being able to reinstall the software he paid for with his shiny new 'puter. I'm sure there are far more pressing issues than dealing with the likes of me. After thanking him, I confirmed the technician's name, and asked for the case number again, so that if (i.e., when) Adobe explained how they may not be able to help a fool who bought this software via an OEM bundle, and that I would have to go back to the OEM for help with this, I could quickly reference the case #, and escalate the issue for a more workable solution. As I said, I wouldn't want to waste anyone's time. Apparently, this triggered a though on the other end ...
Rev. 5: "Do you mind if I place you on hold while I research this a minute?" So after about 15 more minutes on hold, the technician at least came back with a conclusion of, "I'm not sure, and neither is our internal team I have immediate access to. We are reaching out internally to our product support team for Adobe products and they are going to have to get in touch with our internal contacts at Adobe. We'll call you back."
So stay tuned.
Rev. 6: "Apparently, this just got SKU'd in our system about a week ago, and the software ISN'T AVAILABLE yet ... we are going to have physical media and will be able to send it to you ... there may be a download site available at some point, just not right now" I'm skeptical this will end up being a media solution--it seems that they will eventually provide a download link or some way of registering/linking the serial number on the card with an online account with Adobe, in order to facilitate downloads in the future.
By my count, including the earlier attempts others have made at solving this, this makes about 9 well thought out, proven, and tested solutions to such a silly problem. We are still waiting on one that is foolproof though ... if only I were more technically apt, I'm sure one of the others offered herein would have solved this for me by now. Yet I continue to wait ...

Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0- 2 different part numbers?

I see two different part numbes while shopping for Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0. 22002418 and 22002420. Does anyone know the difference?

I don't know about the numbers, though it appears to be related to specific versions. For instance, you have a full retail version and an OEM version with the same number (only OEM added). There is a DVD version supposedly. What raises flags for me are the Retail versus 1 user versions. As far as I know, all versions are 1 user unless you are purchasing a volume license. The other flag is the sale of the OEM version on line. That is not consistent with the OEM process. You may be able to purchase a legit copy at this location, but you are taking a risk. The site looks perfectly legit, but most bogus sites do. Good luck in whatever decision you make.

Adobe 9 standard won't launch

I have Adobe 9 standard (9.4). I have been using it for several years. Suddenly, it won't launch. Attempting to launch it results in several error messages: "missing file C:\dell\N878J"", Missing "Acrodist.exe"' and Adobe XMP.dll is missing.
Since this program was pre-installed, I do not have recource to the installation disk. I was going to install a trial verson of Acrobat Pro XI but i cannot uninstall the older Acrobat 9--which is required, according to the Acrobat XI installer.
I tried Acrofix. It returned a 07 error code.
Can you tell me where to get copies of the missing files? or how to either reinstall or remove the older Acrobat 9.4--there is no installer or uninstaller in the Acrobat 9 file.
Thanks.

I recommend the Acrobat forums. CreatePDF is something quite different. You should also contact the PC supplier for your install disk, it's their job to provide it to you. Good luck!

How do i download adobe acrobat standard

I have a serial number I have obtained 12-2013. I have formatted by computer and want to reinstall the Adobe Acrobat Standard. Where can I download it from?

It is a top-level link, but the link has been purposely hidden off the bottom of every page on their site unless you scroll down. It was certainly a conscious choice to do that. It would be interesting to hear the rationale.
One way to look at it would be: if things were easier to find on the website (weren't purposely hidden for beauty's sake) there would be less calls to support and if there were less calls to support there wouldn't need to be an embargo on Phone and Chat support for everything except basic installation and question related to Creative Cloud, and everything else directed to the forums.
