Having trouble re-activating Adobe Acrobat 8.  URGENT Time limit issues.

Hi, I'm getting nowhere fast. I have a time limit to get this sorted. Originally there was a 5 day period, now 3 days left before my Adobe Acrobat 8 no longer works. It's been installed and working fine for a long time now without issue.
Now it reports there is an error in the activation and requires me to reactivate. It goes through the motions and at the end states that it isn't detecting the internet is on. It asks me to retry by internet or contact by phone. The phone service in Australia is no longer available. The activation page on this site doesn't have the error code I have and I can't seem to figure out where you reactivate from the site anyway. My error code is (Repair 160:41).
I tried calling the US number and Optus said it is no longer valid. I am tearing my hair out trying to sort this out. I need a contact number so that I can get it sorted via phone because obviously I cannot try again via the internet. I'm wondering if I uninstall my copy and then reinstall my copy whether that will sort the issue out. Has anyone out there been through this same issue and hopefully found a solution?
Kind regards
Sandra

Hi Rave
Thanks for your time answering my query. I had a good look at the page but before I go ahead and do some of the complicated processes that are quite complex in START, RUN, I thought I'd just double check with you. I only bought the one program - Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. That's all - none of the Creative Suite that your link seems to be about.
Can you confirm to me that the CS5.5 and later programs has exactly the same instructions that I am to follow as for JUST Acrobat 8 Professional alone?
Looking forward to hearing from you.  Thanks, Sandra

    Hi jurleana15722686,
    Are you working with a subscription version or perpetual (where you bought the software outright)? Are you running into a particular problem or receiving an error message when you try to activate?
    For starters, please check out this document: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html.
    If you're still having trouble, please let us know what the exact issue is, including any error messages that you're receiving. It would also be helpful to know what version of Windows you're using.
    Best,

  • Hi,  So I'm having a problem with Adobe Acrobat 10

    Hi,
    So I'm having a problem with Adobe Acrobat 10. I have backed up adobe acrobat files and stored them on an external hard drive. When I attach the external hard drive to one laptop I can open the acrobat files just fine but when I try to open the files from the other laptop I get "Acrobat could not open "file.pdf" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example. it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF.
    Both computers are Toshiba Portege laptops and both computers have Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro installed. I can open files fine from one but can not open the exact same files on the other. I find this very strange. Also, I can plug the external drive into my iMac and open the files fine from there and other different Windows computers. It appears the issue is just happening on the one laptop. Any ideas for a fix? Thanks.

    For the specific laptop - consider doing a "repair" (under Acrobat's Help).
    If that does not do it then consider uninstall-deactivate-reinstall-active.
    Still no go? Try:
    Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
    Be well...

  • Problem with the product activation adobe acrobat 9 standard.

    I have a problem with the product activation adobe acrobat 9 standard.
    It is a failed hard disk to the pc and was not able to deactivate the license adobe.
    Now I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled the software but it tells me that all licenses are used.
    Is it possible to unlock the licenses in use?
    Thank you.

    Adobe can unlock licenses, this is a normal thing for them to do. You must contact them directly, there is no trick or other way.

  • How can I determine which machines have activated Adobe Acrobat Standard 9?

    How can I determine which machines have activated Adobe Acrobat Standard 9?

    Hi jrector3,
    You need to go to the respective machines and launch Acrobat and check if it prompts for serial number.
    You can also go to the help menu and check if 'Deactivate' option is highlighted.

    Hello,
    I try to activate adobe acrobat reader 8 on my workstation in windows7 internet and I can not do it because my job is not connected to the internet.
    I have all references: serial number and activation code.
    Response:
    Reader doesn't Activate.  You must have Acrobat Pro 8 or Acrobat Standard 8.  You should contact Adobe Customer Service perhaps the number of activations is exceeded.
    Google Translation of the Response:
    Lecteur ne s'active pas. Vous devez disposer d'Acrobat Pro 8 ou Acrobat Standard 8. Vous devez contacter le service clientèle d'Adobe peut-être le nombre d'activations est dépassée.

  • I purchased adobe acrobat but every time I try to open it I get a message saying trial has expired

    I purchased adobe acrobat but every time I try to open it I get a message saying trial has expired.
    Acrobate downloaded successfully.  no problem there.  but it won't open.  only gives me the error message that trial has expired and do I want to buy it.  i already bought it so...  i'm stuck.  I have tried shutting everything down and starting again (twice) still the same error.  tried re-downloading. no help.  any ideas?

    Is it giving you any option to sign in or license this software. If yes click on sign in/License this software to proceed further and activate it. If it is perpetual license activate by entering your serial key and signing in and if it is a subscription then just sign in with your Adobe it an dit will get activated.

  • Is anyone having trouble playing movies they purchased?  I have no issue watching netflix or previews but I can't watch what I already purchased.

    Is anyone having trouble playing movies they purchased?  I have no issue watching netflix or previews but I can't watch what I already purchased.

    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
    At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
    If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

  • Troubles installing the Adobe Acrobat XI trial version.

    I'm trying to install the Adobe Acrobat XI trial version, but it won't work. A window pops up, saying "The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author."

    Hi LiesDeGroef,
    Please download Acrobat directly from the links on this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X.
    Then, make sure you're logged in as an administrator and disable any anti-virus software before you install.
    If you're still having trouble, let us know. And, please tell us what operating system you're using (name and version).
    Please let us know how it goes!
