CS6 Acrobat Pro requires activation -- AGAIN!

I bought CS6, installed it and ran it happily for two months, and then suddenly it said that Acrobat Pro was not activated. I posted a note in this Forum and was told to reinstall it with the same original activation key, which I did. It worked.
Now, two months later, it is suddenly telling me again that Acrobat Pro is not activated. I guess I know what to do (deinstall and reinstall), but this is very annoying to say the least. What is going on? Are you doing some automatic update which is wiping out the activation?
I am finalizing a book tonight, wanted to submit it tomorrow, but I guess I get to go to the office tomorrow, deinstall and reinstall, and hope I can get this book submitted on Monday.
Arghh.

I have my license number, so I thought I would open Adobe Pro X and activate it, but when I ask to open the application it simply does not come up. Nothing. No error message, nothing.
I checked again. I bought the software in mid-July and installed it shortly after receiving it.
The first episode like this happened 6 weeks later. My posting will be somewhere in this Forum. At that time, it not only did not come up, bot it actually disappeared off my system by itself -- it was no longer listed in the list of available applications on my system.
Today it is listed as an application, and has a list of the most recently accessed documents, but I cannot get the application to open at all.
I even tried right-clicking and checking the Properties for the application, and asked it to run in Administrator mode, but again it just disappeared off my screen and no application started.

Since installing CS6, Acrobat Pro X fails I had to reinstall it a few times, now doesn't work

Since installing CS6, Acrobat Pro X failed a few times. I had to reinstall it a few times, now doesn't work at all even after installing again.

Hi there
Thank you for your reply.
When I click on the link for the cleaner however, before I can download the
file, it gives me this message:
"Important - This tool is not for use with any creative suite products
including suites that contain Acrobat. It can only be used with standalone
versions of Acrobat and Adobe Reader"
Adobe X Pro forms part of my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard?
Please advise.
Thanks

Acrobat 7 Pro requires activation from time to time

I have installed Acrobat 7 Pro v7.1.0 on a netbook.
Now, Acrobat requires activations. The time distance between activation requirements gets shorter and shorter.
The Error Message (translated from german to english):
The configuration of your computer was changed since last activation
If you want to use your product furtgher press OK to reactivate it again
for the new system configuration.
After pressing OK the activation process starts and is finished with a "Thank you for activating".
The error occurs sometimes 5 timesc a day !!!
I am wondering how often i can activate the product.
I have NO VMware or other virtual machine software running on this netbook.
I've already reinstalled the software. Same error.

XP 64-bit is unsupported. However, when these problems occur under Acrobat 7, there was a patch downloadable from an Adobe site. It was only made available through the Activation hotline, since it required a reset of the Acrobat activation settings on the Adobe activation server. I do not know if they Adobe makes this patch available to XP 64-bit users or if it will solve the problem in this environment.

CS6 Acrobat Pro Exit Code 6 after re-formatting computer

Hi,
I'm really hoping someone could help me with this.
I have a Mac Mini, removed the original HDD and installed an SSD, re-installed Mavericks and tried to re-install CS6 Design Standard. Now, InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop claimed to have installed but I couldn't find them in the Applications folder, Acrobat just plain failed to install and came up with a Exit Code 6. After trying again, I got the same results and then did a search for InDesign on the computer. I found InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop in the 'Volumes' folder on the boot drive which was originally called 'Untitled'.
I moved those applications to the correct folder, let them update the file locations and they are now working, but I'm still getting the Exit Code 6 when trying to install Acrobat Pro. I can't find much, if any information on how to solve a Exit Code 6.
When looking at my logs, I have this:
09/12/14 22:34:01:152 | [WARN] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 3859 | DW050: The following payload errors were found during install:

09/12/14 22:34:02:191 | [INFO] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 3859 | Exit Code: 6 - Silent workflow completed with errors.
Again, can' find much, if any information on how to solve all this... help?

Is Acrobat Pro required in order to be able to REMOVE fonts?

I need to remove fonts from files I am receiving from clients overseas in order to be able to upload the files to U.S. Patent Office for filing. (The PTO job options file embeds referenced-but-non-embedded fonts, but certain Japanese fonts that are referenced in the source file won't embed, and that is preventing the upload.) I have Acrobat 9, Standard. I was looking at tutorials on-line for guidance as to how to strip such fonts, but don't seem to find the various menu items that are referenced in the tutorials. Do I need Acrobat PRO to do such editing?
Thanks

If possible the task would require use of a Preflight. Preflights are only available with Acrobat Pro.
A quick look through the available Fixups Preflight choices does not show a "remove fonts".
A note re: embedding fonts.
Acrobat Pro (starting with Acrobat Pro 9.x) provides a Fixup to "Embed Fonts" and a "Embed fonts (even if text is invisible)".
As with any routine processes an existing PDF to embed fonts the following applies (text is that present with the "Embed fonts" Fixup):
"If a PDF uses fonts which are not embedded into the PDF file they are embedded as subsets using this fixup.
It is required that the respective fonts are available to the OS, either in the system folder or activated via a font manager.
Some fonts may have a flag that their license does not allow embedding. In this case the fonts are not embedded into the PDF."
If you had Acrobat Pro and the Japanese fonts installed on your local machine you could embed them (provided the font license permits this).
Alternatively, you client could use process the content into PDF such that the PDF had all fonts embedded and then sent that PDF to you.
Or, the client uses the Acrobat Pro Preflight Fixup to embed the Japanese fonts in issue (this presumes the fonts are installed and available on their local machine).
Be well...

Master Collection CS6, Acrobat Pro X Ghost Install... (Mac)

So you know when you do a ghost poo, as in you do a poo and when you check the toilet and it's not there, well that's what the CS6 Master Collection Installer is doing with Acrobat Pro on my Mac (OSX Mountain Lion).
I run the installer and it says it's installed but then when you look in the Applications folder it's not there. I've tried setting the install location to a different address and creating that folder using the installer but still no love. Any ideas?
I've been having a lot of problems in the past few days with the latest version of the Master Collection which has cost me huge hours I've lost more than a day redownloading all the software after the Application Manager stopped wanting to load and so stopped me from using my license on CS6 software versions which were installed originally as trials (then it took me a while to realise that Acrobat XI wasn't included with the Master Collection, which should be called the Substandard Collection if it doesn't have the latest versions of each software package). Since someone at Adobe didn't think of offering a separate download link for just Acrobat X (unlike every other package on that download page on a non-Adobe.com site which I linked to from an official Adobe page http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html), I've since spent 14hrs waiting for the absolutely massive CS6 installer package to find out that Acrobat won't work now (I did have Acrobat Pro 8/CS3 but it's custom file system windows don't work on Mountian Lion, great programming there guys).
And someone make a stable version of Fireworks that doesn't crash every time you're doing something mundane. If there was decent alternatives I would be switching, Adobe buying Macromedia was bad for the industry, the monopoly means they can continue to do such a bad job with their software that we can't do much else but keep using it.

I followed the help ideas, did some of them (some folder renaming, uninstall Adobe Air and then went to Adobe to D/L the new installer and installed it again, and again trying to resart in Safe Mode)... Nothing did the trick...
Then, while still in Safe Mode, after one failure, I opened the main, "Adobe CS6 Design Standard" folder again. I started snooping around, opening the other folders, and in the Payloads folder found whole bunch of software "stuff"... See below, the very first was an Acrobat folder that included the Installer.pkg. So, what the heck, I already spent hours on this, I double-clicked it, and BINGO, it installed the program w/o any issues... I did a regular restart, and the program is working...
...Not sure what you or any Adobe expert would make out of it, but it seems like an easy workaround, so it seems....

Problems with CS6 Acrobate Pro X

When I first installed all the programs in the Design and Web Premium CS6 they all worked well. Within 6 months I had my first problems with Acrobate Pro X not being recognized. I had the program removed and re installed. It worked ok for about another 6 months.. Now I am getting all kinds of error messages. I tried to re-install but this error #1311. Any suggestions about getting this program up or ideas on how to contact Acrobate support directly?

Adobe CS6 (NOT CC) requires activation

Good Afternoon
We are having issues with Adobe Creative suite keeping losing the licence key. It works if you re-enter the key but the problem comes back.
We have one user who has so many issues we wiped and reloaded her laptop and still have the problem, We are having staff going on trips and not being able to use this software as we (the IT department) don't give out serial numbers for software but I am now being asked for these frequently.
Does anyone have any ideas or can help? If adobe are monitoring then this needs sorting.
Thank you

Acrobat pro dc activation

Why and how do I Activate Acrobat Pro DC when it is part of my Creative Cloud Membership?

usually you just sign in to your cc desktop app with your adobe id, Sign in, Sign out | Creative Cloud desktop app

Acrobat Pro 11 activation

Question: Outside of the application telling you it needs to be activated, is there another way to verify the product is activated? A reg key, file that you can check.
thanks.

Hi Ryan,
The We regret to hear that you are .key is encrypted for security reasons else it will be very east to tamper the activation status of the software.
The activation details are usually stored in the cache.db file in the location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache and the Adobe PCD Folder.

Downloading a free Reader without disrupting Acrobat Pro

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro which i LOVE and use daily.. However, one website i also use everyday requires Adobe Reader plug in to operate correctly. When i downloaded this free Reader a year ago or so, it completely took over and disabled by Acrobat Pro, requiring a long process over the phone to get rid of the Reader and re-install my Pro.. has anything changed so that i can download the free Reader plug-in without it touching my Acrobat Pro?

It is not a public site. One needs to be registered in a particular project to download their pdf, complete the required information and reupload it.. I did not mention that this only happens from my MAC.. i can operate the system just fine on a PC. however, teh PC is old and i use it for nothing else but to access this site.. i would rather be using my MAC.. i cannot tell you what they have done ... but this was the "workaround" they developed for MAC users.. i will try it again, will you be willing to give me your phone number to call in case the same thing happens this time i try to download Reader and it disrupts my Acrobat Pro??????
