After installation it says unable to validate this serial number for Acrobat Pro XI. Why? What do I do?

I received my serial number online and went through the installation process. After it was successfully installed I wend to open Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and followed the prompt to enter my serial number and then received this error message "We are unable to validate this serial number for Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. Please Contact Customer Support."
I've read several FAQ and troubleshooting discussions but none have touched specifically on this.
I would have called customer support but did not see a number to call.
Does anyone know what exactly is wrong or what I can do to resolve the issue?

  • We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design Standart. What's wrong with my key or why won't it validate?

    I bought the CS6 Design Standard student and teacher edition over amazon. I activated the product on my adobe account and got a serial number. But when I install the package and enter the serial number I a message saying "We are unable to validate this serial number for Creative Suit 6 Design Standard. Please contact Customer Support."
    Does anyone know what is up with this? I am sure that the problem isn't anything along the lines of making mistakes when typing in the serial (tried it multiple times, used copy paste to reduce chance of error). It's also not any problem with me lacking an internet connection adobe to validate the serial.

    Serial number questions can't be handled on the forums. You'll need to talk to Customer Support either by phone or web chat.

    If you want to buy the product Lightroom 6.0 from the Adobe Website, then please visit here-
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html
    And scroll down to the bottom and spot the Lightroom 6.0 to buy the standalone application.
    You can buy the application as an upgrade or full product (second red box in the screen shot shows the previous version of the software you own and needed to be selected if you are buying the upgrade Lightroom 6.0 ) in case you have the previous version ( Lightroom 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ) serial number registered or noted somewhere.
    Here is the screenshot which might help you in buying the product correctly,
    You can visualize the first red box where you need to select on the drop down to make the purchase as an upgrade product or the full version of the application.
    If you have the qualifying product ( Lightroom 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ), then it would cost you just $79 else $149 in case of full installer.
    Try, it might help you get over the plight of buying the product.
    Thank you so much.

    I've been using Adobe Premiere since 2006 and currently have CS5.5.
    This is the first time I have had problems trying to download and set up a version.
    It has taken most of the day so far!

  • When I try to install CS6 Design and Web Premium from a disk I get this message "We are unable to validate this serial number..." What is the reason for this?

    I purchased a disk copy of CS6 Design and Web Premium from a reputable seller last week and when I try to install it with the serial number I got it says "We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design and Web Premium. Please contact Customer Support." What is the reason for this?
    Is the serial number invalid?

    Hi Ned,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I eventually got in touch with Adobe Technical Support and it turned out that my Adobe Application Manager was not the latest version. They downloaded the latest version and installed it and that seemed to solve the problem. I was able to install my CS6 Creative Suite and validate the serial number. All seems to be going well at the moment.

  • "-unable to validate this serial number-" – Moving CS6 software to new employee

    We just had a member of our team leave for a new job who we had upgraded from CS6 to CC a few months ago. We've been trying to install his "old" copy of CS6 on a new employee's machine using their (new) company Adobe ID but when entering the serial number during installation we get the following message:
    "We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design and Web Premium. Please contact Customer Support."
    Trouble is, when going through CS6 CS there doesn't seem to be any direct contact for CS (no phone, no chat). Is the serial number still tied to his work Adobe ID? If so, how can we deactivate that so as to re-open the license for a fresh install?

    As far as I know (I do not work for Adobe) a serial number is "tied" to the person who activated it... so you are going to need to DE-activate by logging in on the old computer with the old ID
    Then, to use that serial number with a new person, I **think** you will need to do a license transfer (you may be able to just activate with a new ID, but I really don't know)

  • "We are unable to validate this serial number..."

    I am trying to download CS6, but when I put in the serial number it says, "We are unable to validate this serial number for Adobe Photoshop CS6. Please contact Customer Support." I bought it off of Amazon, would that have something to do with the problem?

    When you purchased it from Amazon, did you purchase it from Amazon or through a reseller selling the software through Amazon. If you purchased it from a reseller, than you may have purchased pirated goods. Contact Amazon, they will refund your money then purchase the product through the Adobe store so you can be sure you are getting non-pirated goods.

  • "We are unable to validate this serial number". I purchased this product when a serial number on the back of the box.

    I have a Mac. I purchased a adobe photoshop elements 12 program in a Sam's Club Store. When I tried to install it the program said We are unable to validate this serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12. Please I need your help as soon as possible to resolve this issue and then, use my purchased product.

    then you are using the wrong number or there's a connection issue.  your serial number is 6 groups of 4 numbers.
    if that's not the problem, Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
