How to active Acrobat XI Standard w/o internet connection?

Hi there,
we have some users w/o the permission to use our internet connection. A few months ago it was possible to login to the computer with a user id that has internet permissions to activate Acrobat XI until Windows was reinstalled. Since a few weeks Acrobat asks to contact the activation server again and again (every few weeks). How can we stop this?

Hi,
Claudio's Link didn't helped me, but I've found this: Troubleshoot | Can't connect to Adobe.com online service
We are whitelisting https://activate.adobe.com so that everybody can use the online activation.

How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

Hi,
I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
Thanks.

I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

How to Reinstall Acrobat X Standard OEM

We recently bought 40 computers for our company that came with Acrobat X preinstalled (and cards with their serial #s for reinstall for each). To simplify their roll-out, we sysprepped them all and now want to reinstall Acrobat X Standard on them using the licenses/serial #s we have on hand. But I can't find ANYWHERE to download Acrobat X Standard to reinstall - please help!

Hi MargoTSG,
As we don't offer a trial of Acrobat X Standard, there isn't just a full-time available download source unless the licenses were purchased directly from Adobe as ESD. Your best bet is to contact the OEM who provided the machines to see if a copy of the software was provided with the computers (buried on some installation disk) or if they have an ESD available.

How to activate Photoshop CS 5 without an internet connection?

I have had my second activation of Photoshop CS 5 on a backup computer that has no internet connection. I needed to change the operating system (Windows 7 Home to Windows 7 Professional). I called up Adobe, and told the technician that I was de-activating CS 5, reformatting the hard drive, then I was going to re-activate Photoshop. He gave me a case number so that the next technician could easily understand what I was doing and what I needed.
The first time I installed Photoshop on this backup computer, I contacted Customer Service. The technician had me do several things to get to an activation screen. I gave him both the serial number and an installation code. He then used them to generate a unique activation code, which I typed in to activate Photoshop. I had Photoshop on that computer, working, for a year.
I called on August 30, after the re-formatting and installing the new operating system, I called Customer Service to get help re-activating Photoshop.
The first technician said I could not reactivate Photoshop.
The second technician said it could be done, but not at his level and he would escalate the case, and someone would call me.
After no calls, I tried again on 09/05. I was transferred to the manager. He said it could not be done, but he would escalate the case to the "expert team," and that someone from that team would call me "tomorrow" (09/06).
Along the way, one technician said I did not need to reactivate Photoshop because when I called about deactivating Photoshop, that technician assigned a special number that would obviate the need to reactivate. How did my computer, off-line, and my software, on a proprietary disk, know that number? Magic? No, not magic, it just would!
Unless something has changed and I do not have to activate Photoshop on computers that are off-line, I need to activate Photoshop.
How do I get help after 12 days of trying?
Walton

Thank you . . . I do not get an option for Offline Activation. When I did this a year ago, the Customer Support technician gave me a keyboard shortcut that got me to a screen where a response or installation code was generated. Then he gave me the activation code. I have no problem going on-line and entering a installation code and getting an activation code . . . I just cannot get to the screen where I can get the initial code.
Despite having now 3 case numbers related to this, each Customer Support technician starts at the beginning, only to discover 30 minutes to 3 hours later that he/she does not wherewithal to do this and must escalate the case. In the 2 weeks, no one has called me. I wait the appropriate 24 - 48 hours (yes, not counting weekends or holidays), and the next technician starts it all over.

How to install Lion on Mac with slow internet connection.

My father's Mac mini has a slow internet connection. I always update it by taking the update packages that I download on my iMac to his machine. Will I be able to do that with 10.7 (Lion) when it is purchased/downloaded from the Mac App Store?

It seems that Apple's license terms will allow that across Macs that share the same App Store ID, but I doubt that's the case with you and your father. Physically the update package for Lion could be moved, but the licensing issues will have to be worked out. You're not the only person who's concerned with the issue of how to download a 4 GB file for Lion.

Acrobat XI can't find internet connection

I have had Adobe CC subsciption for some time now, but recently my Acrobat stopped working. it says that it can't find internet connection. But all the other Adobe applications installed through the CC application manager are working fine.
I've had numerous chats with Adobe agents, and with my office's IT guys, and there has been no solution.
We use corporate anti-virus, firewall and proxy scrypts. I've had all Adobe links whitelisted that were given to me by the Adobe agents. The hosts file doesn't have any Adobe info. I've tried reinstalling n+1 number of times, with various options such as selected boot and such, and still no solution.
Why is it that all other Adobe applications installed under the CC work fine, but Acrobat doesn't?
It's sad that if one buys a subscription and loses internet, one would lose all the products as well. One should be allowed to work on the applications, internet connection or not.
Please help with this Acrobat that has created a circus for me here.

Have you also asked in http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat to find out if someone there has the same problem... and a solution?

How many downloads acrobat x standard

how many down loads to different computers when I purchased acrobat x personal and home use

You can activate the same software on up to two machines. You can only use the same software on one machine at any given time.
(you can download to as many as you like, but you will not be able to activate on more than two at a time)

HAVING TROUBLE ACTIVATING ACROBAT X1 STANDARD

I have downloaded the product and when I open it up its saying the serial number is correct and valid but does not match any product on the computer. The dropdown menu in the box does not list the appropiate software to help. Can any body help

It sounds like you’re entering an upgrade serial number that requires a previous product to be installed or at least a serial number of a previous product to be entered. Have you had Acrobat before or is this the first version you’ve ever purchased?

Problem activating Acrobat XI standard - requires 10 or 9 First?

I'm a new user trying to set up a new computer. Being naive, I just went to the online store and bought a copy of Acrobat XL - when I try to run the program, I am told that I need to have already purchased version 9 or 10 - what gives?

Hi Kiro ,
Did you try opening that file in any other browser ?If not ,please try doing that once and see if that works for you.
Try Repairing Acrobat once and see if that helps.

Can I download Acrobat XI standard from the internet

I bought i copy of XI standard, but it came with a CD. I have no CD drive, would it be possible to download from the internet?

Hi wad06
Acrobat Standard Trial is not available. You can download the Acrobat XI Pro Trial.
Also, if you have got the serial number for your windows product, you can get it replaced by the scanner vendor..

I have an older version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and having trouble activating because I do not have internet connection

I have an older version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. I have the disk and the serial number but I cannot activate because I do not have Internet. How can I activate this product?

"Photoshop" Lightroom doesn't require activation; you just install and then type in the serial number when prompted, and it should work from thet moment; Adobe allow you to install Lr on two computers at the same time. The Internet is only really required to register your serial number, which is a very good idea in case of disaster.
