Install of Acrobat Standard 8 says serial number is invalid when it is not

Deactivated Adobe Acrobat 8.3.1 on old computer
Downloaded and installed Acrobat 8.1 on new computer
Put in serial number and I get an Invalid Serial Number error
Did a support chat and they stated that the forums are the only place to get this resolve because it is a technical issue and Acrobat 8 is too old.
Any help would be appreciated

  • Getting serial number is invalid when trying to install acrobat 9 pro

    Hello,
    I am getting a message stating that the serial number is invalid when trying to re-install adobe acrobat 9 pro on windows 8. adobe support confirmed that the srial number I am trying to us is valid though. any help is appreciated.

    Nope,I downloaded the software from adobe website: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
    All it says is "Invalid Serial Number" I already checked with adobe support and they confirmed that the serial number is valid, they won't provide any more help "because acrobat 9 is out of support now".

  • FCP7 upgrade - says serial number is invalid????

    Hi there,
    I am wanting to upgrade from FCP4 to FCP7.
    I am running a Macbook Pro with Mac OS X V 10.6.8
    Question 1: Can I upgrade from a full version of FCP4 to FCP7?
    Originally I installed FCP4 - full retail version - on a G5 tower/dektop in 2004.
    In 2010 I bought a Macbook Pro and installed FCP6 Academic version as I was studying that year. I have been using this version until today.
    I understand that I cannot upgrade my academic version (FCP6).
    I have unplugged and stored my G5, and haven't used FCP4 for a few years now.
    However, I have my old installation disks and serial numbers which I tried to install into my macbook pro today.
    Today I tried to install FCP4 on my macbook pro, as I assume I need to do this in order to upgrade to FCP7.
    It seemed to work - ie computer restarted, but I can't find FCP4 anywhere on my macbook, only the existing Academic version.
    (There was also an error box for QMaster I think (?), and also a prompt to insert LiveType and apple Loops disks.)
    Question 2: Do I need to also install Live Type and Apple Loops to successfully install FCP4?
    Question 3: Do I need to un-install my Academic version in order to install my old FCP4?
    On another tangent:
    Just out of curiosity (or impatience hahaha) I inserted my FCP7 upgrade disk.
    When I typed in the serial number = carefully, using capitals and dashes and being careful of O vs 0 etc = an error box comes up saying that the serial number is invalid.
    Question 4: Why is the serial number invalid? Is it because I have an academic version installed at present, which can't be upgraded? It doesn't seem logical to me that it would prompt this message box.
    Any help appreciated - I have a deadline looming!
    Cheers

    Use FCS remover to delete all copies of the software on your machine.
    Insert the FCS3 install disk (aka FCP7)
    When it asks you for the original serial, give it the FCP4 number.
    When it asks you for the upgrade serial, give it the FCS3 number.

  • I purchased photoshop windows but needed mac. I downloaded Mac but it says serial number is invalid.

    I want to know how to down load photoshop 6 for my mac. I accidentally purchased photoshop windows. I downloaded mac version but it says serial number invalid.

    Hi Tyson,
    You will not be able to use a windows Serial Number of MAC or vice versa. If you have a windows serial number and if your want to swap it with MAC then you can follow the article: Order product | Platform, language swap which will explain you about platform swap.
    Let me know for any other confusion, also let me know if it works or not.
    Thanks,

  • Says serial number is invalid even thought I purchased Lightroom.

    I had a free trial of Lightroom.  I purchased the software.  When I put in my serial number, it says the number is invalid.  I've followed the instructions and went to "My Orders".  Under the section where I would click "download" it says "not applicable".  Probably because I already have Lightroom downloaded!!!  I just need my serial number validated so I can keep working on photographs. 
    It is SO frustrating to not be able to call and talk to a live person, and I have had a terrible experience with the customer service I have had so far.  Is there anyone out there that can help?

  • Migrated Acrobat XI Pro over to new iMac, but now it says serial number is invalid.

    After the migration to a new iMac, it told me that it did not install correctly and I needed to reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  So I did, and now when I enter the serial number for activation, it says it is invalid.  Anyone know what the problem might be? 

    Hey Circuit Jumper,
    Could you please let me know whether you deactivated Acrobat XI from the old machine or not.
    You will need to first deactivate Acrobat (from Help menu) from your old computer and then install and activate it (from Help menu) the software on the new computer using the same Adobe ID credentials (for subscription) or serial number (for license).
    Please note that you can activate an Acrobat subscription or license on maximum two computers (say a desktop at work and laptop at home)
    If you need to install Acrobat on the third computer, then you are required to first deactivate it from any of the old computers, so that there are no installation issues.
    Please let me know if you have done in the same manner.
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • My CS6 will not install- Says serial number is invalid.

    I've owned this software for over a year and it has never given me problems but all of the sudden, Adobe seems to have signed me out and wanted my serial number. I entered it and it said it was invalid when I entered it in correctly. I have uninstalled the software and factory reset my Mac. I downloaded the CS6 again and entered my serial number to install and it still said it was invalid. Please help.

    HaydenD0009 I am sorry that you have faced a difficult experience with our support team.  It is likely we are receiving higher volumes with many schools starting their fall term.
    I checked your account and it appears that you do have a valid serial number for Master Collection CS6 under your account.  You can find details on how to locate the serial number under your account at Find a serial number - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    If this is the serial number which you have been entering previously then it is likely you are facing either a file permission issue or corruption of the licensing files.  This is what is giving you the invalid serial number message.  To resolve these difficulties I would recommend the following steps:
    Run all available Adobe installers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.
    Run the CS Cleaner tool to ensure complete removal.  You can find details on how to use the CS Cleaner tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    Reinstall your CS6 Master Collection software.

  • Serial number is invalid when trying to install Creative Suite 6 (Student/Teacher Edition) on my new mac?

    I have deactivated CS6 on my old laptop, but every time I try to enter the serial number to re-activate it tells me that it is invalid. Is there a period of time that I have to wait before it becomes able to be activated again? It's been about 24 hours. Or could the problem be that it was previously installed on a PC, but now I have upgraded to a mac? Is there any way to fix this? Please help! Thank you!

    Normally a PC serial number is not valid for a Mac version.  I don't know if the following holds for Student/Teacher editions though there should be something similar...
    Change product platform or language
    You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

  • My phone is saying a number is invalid when its always worked before

    Try doing a soft reset.  You will need to power your phone off and remove the battery, wait 5 seconds, then place the battery back in and power the device on.   Once you have done so, make sure that you are getting at least 3 signals bars on your phone.  Hope this helps!

  • Thunderbird says 'username or password invalid' when it is not

    I have just installed Thunderbird on a new computer and am trying to set up my email accounts. However I keep getting the error 'username or password is invalid'.
    I have checked both several times and re-entered them. They are correct. I can log into my webmail with them no problem. I have confirmed all my settings are correct, both against those provided by my email provider and against another thunderbird instance I have on a different computer.
    I know that all my details are correct, but Thunderbird still thinks they are not and won't let me procede any further. What is causing this and how do I fix it?

    New install and can not setup account for that reason usually indicated anti virus problems (it's firewall component blocking internet access to Thunderbird or the ports used for mail. They differ to webmail)
    Best test is reboot in safe mode with networking and see if that works.
