Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard - invalid serial number after transfer

Hello,
Trying to install my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard on a new computer.
I followed the instructions to deactivate the licence on the old computer and documented my serial number (out of the REGISTRY). I also got the message, that the deactivation was successful.
When I now try to install the software on the new computer, this fails with a message that the serial number is invalid (but I checked serveral times for typing errors).
Any help?
Kind regards
Ruediger Schultz

What is in the registry is not necessarily the serial number. If you registered the software, you can find the serial number under your account on the Adobe website.

  • Acrobat XI Invalid Serial Number After Failed Install

    Hello,
       We currently have Adobe Acrobat XI on an enterprise license. I went to install this on 3 of our Windows 7 tablets. Prior to my attempt, I removed Adobe Reader XI which is what I always do. After that I started the installer on the machine and entered the key just fine. All 3 tablets got stuck around 96-97% and failed with an error 1935. I then followed the instructions located here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-1935-install-acrobat-reader.html
      Following a reboot, I tried to install again and now I am receiving the "Invalid Serial Number" error when trying to click "Next" on the installer. It won't even let me choose install trial and go. The next button does nothing when selecting trial. I tried running the offical Adobe Acrobat Cleaner and the Adobe CS6 cleaner (since Acrobat XI is part of CS6 technically). Both programs found items to delete but following a reboot I'm still receiving the same error. I also have other XI enterprise serials available and none of them work. I have a feeling something happened on the tablets that is causing the installer to think it's the wrong version or type for those serial numbers.
      Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Hi ivank25654647,
    I have checked the serial number you have provided and it looks like a Volume Serial number to me. There are mainly two reasons why this error might pop up :
    1) You are using the installer for a Retail product and using the volume serial number as that combination do not work.
    2) You have a stand alone installer for Acrobat and not a suite installer.
    I would request you to kindly navigate back to the licensing website and go to Licenses>Downloads and search for the download link for the Creative Suite 5 and then download Acrobat again. This should resolve the concern that you have.
    Cheers,

  • Adobe Acrobat reinstall issue-serial number

    Hello-
    I recently had to do a full reinstall on my Windows 7 OS.  However when I did this it deleted my registered Adobe Acrobat ver. 9 program.  Unfortunetely I do not have my original disks and had to download the program from your website.  AcroPro90_efg.exe.
    I retrieved my registered account information with my original serial number.
    Upon installling the downloaded version and asked for my serial number I got an error message:  Invalid serial number.  I checked and rechecked the number and still get the error message. 
    Any help with this would be helpful.
    Thanks.

  • Invalid Serial Number after reboot?

    I just rebooted a server and when it came back ARD was off, along with a bunch of other services that were supposed to start at boot. Under the serial number in Server Admin it had the text (in red): "invalid serial number serial number already registered". I got it to take the serial number by setting it using "/System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber <serial>". I want to just reboot again to make sure everything starts up okay, but I want to figure out why this happened first.
    The server is a G5 Xserve that had Panther on it. I upgraded to Tiger last week. While upgrading I got the same message after a reboot but just assumed I had unintentionally reused a serial number. I grabbed a brand new unopened Tiger Server OS box and used that serial, so I know the serial is not in use anywhere on site. Can anyone tell me how the OS checks the serial, and maybe supply me with a clue as to why this happened? The only changes to the server I have made were the installation from source of Apache 2.2.0, PHP 5.1.2, Subversion 1.3.0, and MySQL 5.0.18 from an installer package. All were installed into /usr/local/.
    15" Al PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I'm having the same problem. I did not start with a 10.3 server - this is a fresh install. But I built one server and then cloned the drive to several others and replaced the hostnames, IPs and serials. Now one constantly comes up with an invalid serial number on reboot.

  • Adobe wont activate- Invalid serial number?

    Im confused. I bought CS5 extended from a seller on Ebay, when I tried to use it, the box came up "invalid serial number". I can do a "trial for 30 days", but apparently thats it. The box was sealed from Adobe, has the genuine Adobe sticker, its all legitimate.
    The online chat was useless with "Umesh". He never answered how or why this happened, kept skirting the issue telling me to get a "valid receipt" from the seller. Shouldnt an unused, unopened, never activated product work? Its going to be a real hassle going through ebays buyer protection since Ive opened the box now. Adobe can just "invalidate" any product they wish anytime?

    I bought CS5 extended from a seller on Ebay
    Unfortunately, that usually bodes badly for the ability to Activate your software.
    While I feel that there might be a very few legit copies of Adobe programs on eBay, the vast majority seem to be bogus - pirated - hacked, or just an excuse to get one's credit card info for later use, or resale on the black market.
    The box was sealed from Adobe, has the genuine Adobe sticker, its all legitimate.
    There is a lot of bogus packaging out there, and some years ago, even certified Adobe resellers were blind-sided by pirated copies, that looked perfect, from China.
    Contact the seller and demand either a refund, or a working S/N.
    Good luck, and hope that you DID buy a legit copy, and that the seller CAN provide you with a working S/N.

  • Adobe elements 11 Invalid serial number

    When i go to my products on adobe and enter my serial number onto my adobe premier elements 11 it says invalid even if i copy and paste.

    serenibby
    From what you wrote, it would appear that you have purchased download files from Adobe for Premiere Elements 11 and a serial number specific to that purchase. At that time, to what computer operating system did you download and install that purchased download and its serial number?
    What are you dealing with...activation of a Premiere Elements 11 program that was deactivated and left installed on your computer? Or some other scenario? Please explain.
    I would like to rule out that you are somehow trying to use a Premiere Elements 11 Windows serial number in a Premiere Elements 11 Mac setup or the other way around.
    Typically Adobe does not support anything put the current version 12. But, it might might the exception for Activation issues, not sure in this case. To find out, click on the following link, and, when it opens, navigate to the section on "Serial Number and Redemption Codes". It looks like the paths to Adobe Chat have shifted, and I need to figure out what it has done. But, for now, I think the path indicated should bring answers.

    Please let us know the outcome.

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - serial number rejected as invalid

    I bought Adobe Acrobat XI Pro at Amazon.
    While running a trial version, I installed the product from the CD. It installed the newly purchased product concurrently. While trying to register, Adobe detects the XI Pro installation, but comes back with a message that the serial number is invalid. I checked the number and it is exacly what is printed in the CD sleve. I tried to chat with an agent, but it is impossible. No matter how many hours I wait, nobody picks up my request.

  • 6.0 standard invalid serial number

    Can someone help me out on this? I needed to reinstall 6.0 standard but now the serial number that I am entering is showing as invalid. Is there a solution short of buying new?

    Hello,
    I am sending a solution, try this it may resolve your issue,
    Product type :- Acrobat 6,7,8,9.
    Issue  :- Acrobat has technology in such a way that if you uninstall, reinstall it on the same windows computer or upgrade it to new version at the same windows computer, when you try to serialize this program during installation or after launch, it gives you error as "invalid serial no.",
    Reason :- Reason is when you uninstall it or install the upgraded version which tries to uninstall the old version, at times it dosn't delete the registry keys from the registry editor at windows, so when you try to install the same version or upgraded version of Acrobat, Acrobat registry keys conflict with each other as they are almost at the same location.
    Important Note :- Before you try this solution make sure you back-up the HKEYS on which you will be work, (To back-up right click on the HKEY, select option Export)
    Solution :- 1) A) At Windows XP > go to start > go to run > in the run search bar type the command as "regedit", search for the same
                       B) At Windows Vista / 7 > go to start > go to search bar at the bottom of the startup menu > type "regedit", search for the same
                    2) Regedit will open the registry editor > go to left hand side panel where you will see all the registry keys starting with HKEY
                    3) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, double click on that, same way go to Software/Adobe/Adobe Acrobat, Delete the key Adobe Acrobat.
                    4) Same way go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Adobe/Adobe Acrobat, Delete the same
                        ( You may or may not see Adobe Acrobat key on both the HKEYS, if you see this key on only one HKEY, delete that, it may still work)
                   5) Run the installation again.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Adobe Acrobat - "No valid serial number found. Acrobat will quit now" message

    I moved some things around on my computer from the C drive to the D drive to make space, including Adobe Acrobat professional 6.0. Now, when I go to open it, I get the message "No valid serial number found. Acrobat will quit now". I have tried moving everything back to where it was, but that does not work. I do not have the CD to reinstall it, but I do have the serial number. Where do I go to enter the serial number? After the message pops up, Acrobat closes altogether and will not let me do anything.

    I have exactly the same problem as Oxbay - but, I do have the CD & the serial number. When reinstalling the program, it just loads, never gives me the opportunity to save to a specific drive (which caused the problem in the first place), enter the serial number, or ask which type of installation (full or custom). I use the program erratically so no intention of upgrading to 8.0 Professional, but do need the program. You can't get into the "Help" section for a detect or repair issue. Any other suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you!

  • Final Cut tells me "invalid serial number" after clearing my early 2010 27 inch imac and trying to reinstall

    I wiped my hard drive after completing a time machine backup on my desktop.  it was getting really slow and buggy (800 of 1tb full, lots of music freeware, sample downloads etc.).  I already used one of the serial numbers that came with my final cut install box (they're two of the same number?) on a laptop, and now after clearing the drive, it is telling me that the number is invalid.  How do i nullify the original use of my serial number from before I cleared my drive?  And if it matters, I do have every original file from my hard drive with final cut installed backed up, in case there is any way to restore an entire app and all of its necessary components through time machine.  Thanks in advance!

    Make sure you're entering the serial number correctly.  I think each set of 3 characters is either all numbers or letters (not a combination of numbers and letters).  This will help to differentiate zeros from the letter o, etc.
