How to activate Acrobat 9 Pro part of CS5 ?

My PC runs Windows 8.1 64b.
CS5 runs perfectly but Acrobat 9 Pro which is part of the package refuses to work unless being activated.
The problem is that there is no indication whatsoever adressing the activation process...
To be noted is that Acrobat 9 Pro has been duly registered on my Adobe account.
So where is the problem ?
Any help?
Many thanks.

Are both MACs or PCs, not a mix? The serial number is for only the MAC or Windows, not both.

  • How to activate Acrobat Pro XI on a non persistant VDI desktop?

    Hi,
    I installed Acrobat Pro XI on a Citrix XenDesktop non persistant environment. I used the customization wizard and all seems to work without any questions for activation, but... When I logon to the desktop I start Acrobat Pro XI and I don't have the "PRO" options enabled (like for example  PDF Portfolio). When I close the program and open it again I do have the PRO options so it looks like the program is activating online at the first startup of the program.
    I don't think my users like to start a program then have to close it and start again to use the full options and it shouldn't be working like that.
    Does somebody know how to fix this?
    Kind regards,
    Freek van Ekkendonk

    When the user is logging on he gets a random desktop from the pool, al the virtual desktops have the same image. The registration has been done once on the master image. It could be that when the computer name changes to a random name in the pool the license gets expired because of the changed computername and then tries to activate again online.
    I don't think I have a volume serial number and I don't use the off-line exception because I couldn't get it to work. Below is the error log.

  • I have an Acrobat Pro subscription and just bought a new computer - how do I activate Acrobat Pro again on the new PC?

    I have an Acrobat Pro subscription and just bought a new computer - how do I activate Acrobat Pro again on the new PC?

    Hi davadlaw,
    You can install Acrobat on the new PC and use your Adobe ID to activate the software.
    The purchased subscription is linked to your Adobe ID.

  • Cannot activate Acrobat Pro XI

    I had a subscription to Acrobat Pro XI and it automatically transferred to Acrobat DC I don't like DC at all, it has many bugs. I followed the on-line instructions to uninstall it and reinstall Acrobat Pro XI.When I try to activate Acrobat Pro XI it comes up with an error "Licensing of this software has stopped".I downloaded the trial from Adobe but when I sign in Acrobat Pro does not show up in my products so I cannot see the serial number, Very frustrating.
    Please help.

    Hi stephenl816,
    I've checked your account, and it looks like your subscription was not part of a Creative Cloud membership. So, it may be that you used the wrong installer to reinstall Acrobat XI. Please uninstall Acrobat, and then reinstall following the instructions in this document: Acrobat trial removed previous version | How to reinstall.
    An Acrobat subscription doesn't require a serial number, as we use your Adobe ID/password as verification/activation. You should not be prompted to enter a serial number if you install from the link provided in the document I link to.
    Let us know how it goes!
    Best,
    Sara

  • I can't activate Acrobat Pro license

    Hello
    after the inconveniences and the impossibility to connect and sync my documents with Creative Cloud Connection, now it is the turn of Acrobat Pro to giving me trouble.
    I can't activate Acrobat Pro license, so I can't use it.
    After launching Acrobat Pro, a blank page that should contain the license agreement appears, but the button for accepting the license doesn't work. I have deinstalled and reinstalled several times the application without success.
    Thank you to explain me how to resolve this problem.

  • How to activate Acrobat 12

    How does an IT administrator activate Acrobat Pro 12? I have the option to sign in or create an enterprise ID. Will my users be asked again to sign in, or if I activate as administrator is that good enough? What happens if I move an installation to another system? Is there an 'activation limit'?
    How will these things change when I'm looking at upgrading Acrobat standard 11 to 12? Currently I only have a 12 Pro (upgrade) license, but we have many 11 Std licenses we will probably upgrade at some point in the future.
    We are mostly using Windows 7 Professional. Our domain users are "restricted" or "standard" users and not able to install/update their own software. We (IT administrators) usually install the license key when we install the software, but now that requires an adobe sign in. My colleagues in our IT may not have my adobe sign-in information, how is that to be handled?
    I saw the option to create an Enterprise adobe ID, but no explanation as to what that is. Could somebody give a run-down on how a small IT staff should be handling licensing with Acrobat 12, and what an Enterprise ID is?
    I apologize if this has already been covered. The search results didn't get me anywhere close to this topic.
    Thanks
    -Derek

    DC products introduce two tracks: Continuous and Classic. You need to decide which track to be on prior to deployment as they are quite different. See Document Cloud Product Tracks — Enterprise Administration Guide
    The Classic track is "business as usual" (like 11). Use a license to preserialize the installer.
    The Continuous track can use a license, but it also can be activated by user ID for admins who want to use named-user deployments and manage entitlements via the Enterprise Dashboard.
    Hope that gets you started.

    If you are referring to the Cloud desktop application, that replaced the Adobe Application Manager (AAM) which is what would previously have been installed instead.

  • Uninstalled Acrobat Pro (part of CS 5.5 Design Standard) and now need to reinstall. How??

    I am so confused. I have CS 5.5 Design Standard running on a Windows 7 computer. I have the serial number. The problem is, I stupidly uninstalled Acrobat Pro and now need to reinstall it. What do I do? I downloaded Acrobat Pro X from the download link on the Adobe site but it won't take my serial number. I am guessing because the serial number pertains to the entire Creative Suite, not just Acrobat.
    Please help. Thanks!

    Correct. You need to use the full suite installer.

  • Problems activating the Acrobat Pro part of the CS 4 software.

    I am having problems activating the Acrobat Pro program which is part of the Academic Version of CS4 -Design Premium that I bought. Once I finally got most of CS4 activated (and that had several problems as well!), I just kept getting the request to fill in my serial number. Each time I tried using the only Serial Number I had been issued, I would see imediatly a red "X" to the right of the "incorrect" serial number, along with a message that my time using the software had expired.
    I have called and E-mailed Adobe several times now, and tried all of Adobe's suggestions: removed certain files, uninstall everything and the reload from the begining, do both, etc. So far, nothing has worked. As I said all the other probrams are now activated, but the only thing activated right now is my level of frustration with Acrobat Pro. Can anyone help me on this? I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    ThomasE365

    You do not activate Acrobat from the suite. You activate another program in the suite, then Acrobat should be activated. If you are having a problem, then I recommend de-activating, uninstalling everything. Run the CS4 clean script: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    But on the offhand chance it is a license problem you can try this first: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html

  • Is Acrobat not part of CS5?

    I purchased CS5 Master Collection (Student Edition) and was able to install and use all the software included in it with the serial key provided but I am unable to use that serial key to register Acrobat, is there a seperate serial key i'm missing or is Acrobat not included in CS5 Master Collection?

    As Acrobat 9 is part of CS5 Master you ought to be able to use it.
    fwiw -
    From an Adobe knowledge base article for CS5 install:
    (CS5 Master Collection only) Install Acrobat 9 Pro from disc
    If you already have Acrobat 9 Pro, either as part of a suite or as a standalone component, you do not need to reinstall it. Existing Acrobat 9 Pro users should download and install the most current updates for Acrobat 9 Pro. To check for updates, open Acrobat 9 Pro, and choose Help  > Check For Updates.
    If you have Acrobat 8 or earlier installed on your computer, you must uninstall it before you can install Acrobat 9 Pro.
    1. Uninstall Acrobat 8:
        • (Windows XP) Open the Windows Control Panel and double-click Add or Remove Programs.
         Select the product that you want to uninstall, click Change/Remove, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
        • (Windows Vista and Windows 7) Open the Windows Control Panel and double-click Programs and Features.
          Select the product that you want to uninstall, click   Uninstall/Change, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
    2. Insert the Adobe Acrobat 9 Application DVD into your drive, navigate to the root directory, and double-click Setup.exe.
    3. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Acrobat 9 Pro.
    4. When prompted to enter a serial number, enter your Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro serial number and complete the installation.
    Be well...

  • How to download Acrobat Pro to Surface? [was: download]

    I have the cd for installing Acrobat Pro but would like to install it on my Surface which does not have a cd device. How do I do this?  Can I download?

    Hey Chad Wilson,
    What OS are you using on your new system?
    You might need to deactivate Acrobat from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number.
    Remember, if you own volume license of an Adobe product that is installed on a system at work (say), then you can install it on secondary computer at home (say) of the same platform.

  • How to STOP Acrobat Pro DC popups?

    I purchased Acrobat Pro in 2014. Now I keep getting Acrobat Pro DC popups. When I followed the instructions from the forum and clicked the button to "license" the software (that is already licensed), the number was not recognized.  How to stop popups?

    Hey [email protected],
    Since you are using an Acrobat license, you cannot use the same serial key to activate DC version.
    Please refer the following link to disable those pop ups:
