Have Acrobat 9 Standard License, but cannot re-install to upgrade to XI

Hello.
I have Acrobat 9 Standard, but have switched hardware to a device that does not have a CD/DVD drive. I want to reinstall so I can update to Acrobat XI.
The problem is that when I looked at the purchase flow to do that, the file is an "upgrade" file, not the full version of Acrobat XI. The old Acrobat download page here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html only has the Pro versions which my license key is not valid.
All other avenues I tried to get a 9 Standard download have failed, so I'm hoping there is a work around to be able to use my license key from 9 Standard and get whatever I need from there. I've searched through these forums but am not finding anything definitive. Anyone?
Thanks.

It's an absurd thing to sell computers without CD/DVD drives, don't you think? It's a weird idea that comes from the US where many people have fabulous broadband, and moving gigabytes to the web to back it up is no issue at all. In my part of the world it's a sick joke. I believe a plug-in CD/DVD drive is an absolute must.
Not least because you'll want to back up Acrobat XI download on to a CD/DVD. If you don't, and in a couple of years Adobe don't offer it any longer, then that's the money down the drain - many times the cost of a drive.
Happily to solve this problem you don't meed to get Acrobat 9 Standard installed. You can indeed put in the license key when asked for it (it will ask for "qualifying product"). You can choose to upgrade to Acrobat XI Standard or Acrobat XI Pro, I think but be very sure to choose Acrobat Standard as your qualifying software.

I have a Creative Cloud license but when I tried to upgrade indesign to the 2014 version it asked me to try as a trial. I should be able to just upgrade and use it, correct?

I am entitled to have Acrobat XI Pro from my CC subscription. I already have ACrobat XI Standard.
I tried to 'install' Acrobat XI Pro from the CC panel, but after downloading and extracting it gave the error below.

Hello, I purchased and installed Adobe Technical Communications Suite 5 for Windows, English and downloaded it to my Windows 7 Pro PC. It appears that Acrobat XI Pro part of the suite was never installed on my machine and I currently have Standard, instead. How do I go about getting the Pro setup? I know Adobe has specified limitations about users/installs allowed per purchase so I want to download the PRO correctly without trouble. Please advise. Thanks.

I have Acrobat 9 Standard at work. How can I edit PDFs using this?

Part of my job entails creating PDFs of web pages and then deleting non-essential materials. But, I have Acrobat 9 Standard. How can I do this with what I have?

You can use the Text Edit tool to delete things. You can also redact items. Do not expect reflow to work, Acrobat is not a true editor, but has simple editing tools for simple fix ups. I would suggest downloading HTML source and editing that -- seems like a much simpler process. If someone (like a boss) is insisting you use Acrobat and get a PDF, then I would suggest downloading the HTML, editing it, and then create a PDF from that edited version. Probably a lot faster, though you may have to learn some HTML. Many tools like the HTML editor in SeaMonkey and other editor tools (DreamWeaver is typically recommended) can be used.

I have acrobat 11 standard is it possible to convert pdf files to word files ?

I have acrobat 11 standard is it possible to convert pdf files to word files ? or is it just possible in the Pro version.

It sounds to me like you're using Reader, not Acrobat. Make sure you open
the PDF file in Acrobat, and then go to File - Save As Other - Microsoft
Word.

Downloading to the ereader depends a little on the eReader.
Some very basic eReaders, and Kindles, do not support Adobe DRM, in which case you cannot read such books on that reader.
Most dedicated eReaders should show up in the left panel of ADE when they are plugged in to the USB.
You might need a special driver, eg for Sony eReaders a driver is installed with the Sony Reader software.
Some don't work correctly on ADE2.0, in which case try using the older but more reliable ADE 1.7.2 instead (see bottom of post).
Once the eReader does show up in ADE, you will need to authorize the eReader (menu-Library-Authorize Device on 1.7.2, setting to the left of the device in 2.0).
You should then be able to drag-drop books onto the device from within ADE.
For tablets uses as eReaders you need an appropriate eReader app.
Post again if your ereader is a tablet.
~~~
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

Assuming you registered your older version, you can retrieve the serial number by going to Adobe's site and go into your account. On this page, click the My products link in the right hand column of the first three. You'll be asked to enter your user account name and password. Once in, a list of all software you've purchased will be shown, along with their serial numbers.
That said, it really won't help you much. A PowerPC only version of InDesign means it's no newer than the original CS version, and won't be worth a cent towards an upgrade discount. To get CS6, you'd have to pay full price again.
