Installed APE13 now Acrobat XI Pro license revoked.

Tried "chat support". They referred me to original retailer - said they could not or would not help.
Acrobat was working fine for 18 months - until - I installed Photoshop Elements 13. Now I get a message stating my serial number has been revoked.
Where do I go from here with my $400 program? Original retailer is out of business

Unfortunately, it's hard to imagine how anyone outside Adobe could help either.
There seem to have been some very shady retailers who sold serial numbers they were not allowed to sell. Who bears the loss is a difficult question. In law, it's probably the receiver (i.e. customer). I have a feeling that US$400 is impossibly low priced for Acrobat Pro. The internet is absolutely full of people selling illegal software, and the same fate probably awaits purchasers.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro license key issue.

    Why won't my Acrobat 9 Pro license key work on the install onto my new computer?

    I have two days left on my "Trial version". From what I've read in the forums, reinstalling from a link has fixed this issue with other users. Can you send me one? (This is driving me crazier than normal)

  • I inadvertently installed the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my laptop as a trial. It has expired and I want to remove it.

    I inadvertently installed the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my laptop as a trial. It has expired and I want to remove it and  use the previous version that I had on the machine before the install which was a full version of Adobe Acrobat. Please provide me with the steps to complete this.

    You can uninstall in the usual way (Control Panel). You will probably then need to reinstall the older version, which the trial most likely removed.

  • Acrobat x pro "license agreement" bug on opening

    Hi I hope you can help find out how to get rid of this problem, it is urgent that I have access to acrobat documents for my work which is very busy at the moment.
    I downloaded and installed Acrobat X Pro as part of the CS6 Design & Web package purchased in May 2012. 
    Since that time I cannot open any PDF, because an endless loop occurs with a license agreement screen that kicks in every 20 seconds.  It is impossible to open any document or create one, because the licence agreement screen requests that I accept or quit, and then pops up again and again and will only stop if I select "quit", which quits the entire application. 
    I tried uninstalling the software to install it again, but the following error screen pops up:
    "The accplication selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller."
    I have activated the CS6 Suite with my valid registration number and have already run several of the sortwares already.
    Please help because without this software (my old pdf viewer has seemed to dissapear) I cannot work! 
    Thank you.

    How to I install Acrobat X Pro again using the CS6 installer? I have now uninstalled my Acrobat X Pro using windows installer, but I can't find it in the Adobe Download Assistant. I have a serial for CS6 Master Collection, but that serial does not work on a single Acrobat X Pro installation! What do I do?

  • Acrobat XI Pro: Licensed / activated version in trial mode and expire after 30 days

    First, when viewing a PDF file, my licensed Acrobat XI Pro (v11.0.10) closes the PDF and shows accept license agreement window.
    I accepted the license-agreement.
    Then a window showed up telling me to log-in into my Adobe-account, clicked on log-in.
    Log-in window did not appear though.
    I re-launched Acrobat and it is now telling me that it is a trial version for 30 days.
    Great!
    "Help->Deactivate" is greyed out.
    I may go into my Adobe account, Acrobat XI Pro is listed there, together with the key.
    Now what?

    Later:
    with thanks to the solution from Vikrantt Singh
    on: Re: Acrobat XI Pro Repeatedly Asking to License Despite Registering/Activating
    minor exception - in my case the folders
    \Adobe PCD
    \SLCache
    were located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    so:
    1) Delete the Adobe PCD-folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD
    2) Delete the SL Cache-folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache
    3) Delete the Sl Store-folder under C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    4) Launch Acrobat again and activate
    Now things are fine again.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - License Agreement ACCEPT does not work

    Today I purchased a license for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, downloaded the software and installed. I execute the program and when I get to License Agreement I select accept and nothing happens. I can't get beyond this point.
    I called Adobe Tech Support and they weren't able to help. I've seen many posts about this and no definite answer.
    Before requesting a refund, does anybody know how to fix this problem?
    I installed on Windows 7 Pro.
    Thank you,

    I know this is an old posting, but for those like me who couldn't find the answer:
    Had the exact same problem and  tried all the previous tips to resolve, including registering the  jscript.dll.
    Thanks to the genius who posted the answer on another  'windows' forum (wish I could find that again).
    Create a new  local admin account (add that account to the administrator  group).
    Login to the new account and launch Acrobat. Then  (hopefully) you can click "Accept" to the license agreement.
    The  registry key it creates is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe  Acrobat\9.0\AdobeViewer\EULAAcceptedForBrowser (DWORD=0x00000001). Not  sure if you can just manually add the registry value as I had already  fixed it by creating the new local account.
    After it accepts the  license agreement, you can go back into your normal profile and run  acrobat. yea!.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro: Licensing issue prevents Acrobat from opening. What's the fix?

    OK - or i should say not OK!!
    I am running the licensed version of Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac OSX. It is installed on 2 of my MacBook Pro 17" laptops. These machines are respectively 1 month and 14 months old, and both are completely up-to-date software wise. 3 weeks ago Acrobat presented the error message "Licensing for this product has stopped working" and then quits. Searching through the error logs reveals the following: No matching processes were found. Shutting down licensing service ...
    I have meticulously, several times worked through all the recommended steps on the Adobe site to address this issue but to no avail. Booting up in safe mode makes no difference. In desperation I re-installed the OS, but to no avail. My several and extended communications with Adobe online help have left me chatting with what sounded like a couple of uni students from India who had insufficient understanding of English, Macs and Acrobat. After 3 weeks my case has been closed twice by Adobe who report that they believe my issue is resolved and have therefore closed my case. Great!!! What's more, occasionally Safari is presented online with a pdf file which it attempts to load, and then crashes.
    This issue has seriously affected my ability to work with and create pdf's which in my work as a medical researcher is essential. To add insult to injury, I have wasted too many precious hours attempting to rectify the situation.
    The bottom line is caveat emptor (buyer beware). Adobe it seems are committed to making a sale but not to follow-up, service or genuine concern for their customers. When some company produces a less buggy (and cheaper) alternative I will be definitely be buying their wares.
    In the interim, if anybody out there can advise me as to how to get Acrobat working again, I would be most grateful.
    Have a great day.
    David

    When you reinstalled Acrobat, did you use the uninstaller? Also the uninstaller still leaves some files not removed.
    If your using OSX.4.11 go to Find file and type in Acrobat, find any files (not .pdf's) that are in the Library > Application support and Preferences.  Remove all traces of any of these files. Look both in Main Library, and in Library in your User Folder (has name you gave computer when you installed system).
    It appears your have a corrupt file.
    Many problems can be traced down to corrupt file(s) in Application Support or Preferences. Preference file will regenerate though any customizations you did will be lost.
    Have you installed more than the two Copies allowed (by accident)?
    Also, if you have tied to a a common Server/Network and both have computers running at same time, might have caused this. (unless you bought at site license if Adobe sells such).

  • Installing CS5 and Acrobat 9 Pro problem

    Just wondering if anyone can help me on line.  I have tried the chat session which took a long time to get connected to an agent, I was informed that they could not help me there as they only worked with CS6 and up.  They referred me to the forum.  So, I am not sure if I am in the right place but here goes.
    I am trying to install the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium software that I bought years ago on an older iMac computer (2007) I believe.  The hard drive failed recently and I had a new one put in which included the operating system, OS X 10.6.8.  I have recently tried to install Adobe CS5 which I purchased some years ago.  The software package had the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro disc which helps to install the CS5 package.  I have tried to install Acrobat 9 Pro twice and I now get the following error message: 
    The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “DistillerLib” can’t be read or written.
    (Error code -36)
    I did not notice this message the first time I tried to install the entire package so on the first attempt I went on to trying to install the CS5 Design Premium disc next.  It attempted for a good while to try and install it but ultimately stopped.  I have gone to the support site and uninstalled the CS5 Design Premium files that were left on there thinking I could start over.  So, I put back in the Acrobat 9 Pro disc and it said there was an Acrobat 9 Pro file there and did I want to replace it.  I said yes, and then as it attempted to replace these files, I got the message stated above about the DistillerLib error ode - 36.
    I do have a membership for Adobe Creative Cloud and I can only put the latest software available there on my other 2 computers.  This computer I am trying to put the CS5 software (standalone) is for my granddaughter who I am trying to help learn Photoshop and Illustrator.  The computer I am trying to put this on is the one I had bought for my son who recently passed away.  At this time I can't get another subscription for my granddaughter.  So, how can I get this CS5 package installed or do I have to take the computer back to the technical folks who put in the hard drive to help me.  I saw on the support site instructions for installing CS5 but as you can see from my discussion, this is not working for me now.  Is it the operating system causing problems for this older version of Creative Suite CS5?  ...... or is it Acrobat 9 Pro?

  • Download for Re-install of Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro?

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro online at the Adobe website in 2009 and have been able to re-install as needed through downloads over the years.  I have an active account and the serial number for the product but cannot find a download link at the Adobe website.  Where can I find a download link for Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro?  Thanks for your help.

    Success!  Thanks to Pat and Mike for their help.
    The link provided by Pat works but it is tricky.  Bascially, to download Acrobat 8 Pro you have to:
    1.  Go to the link Pat provided -- see http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html. That should take you to the site below.
    2. Scroll down the page a little bit and you will come to a section entitled: "Very Important Instructions.  The screen will look like the one below.  Read the instructions carefully.  You have to follow a link in the narrative to the Adobe Acrobat XI download site and you have to click on the "Download Now" bar.  This will put a cookie on your computer that will make the link for the Acrobat 8 Pro work.  After you click the Acrobat XI download bar do not open the file -- just go back to the page you were on and continue scrolling down.
    3.  When you scroll down the page a little bit you will come to a screen that has a number of download links (see screen shot below).  The Acrobat 8 Pro is the last one.  Click on it and you should be able to down load the file and install it on your computer.
    Thanks again for the help.  Much appreciated.

  • Installing CreatePDF after Acrobat XI Pro installation.

    We created a software Package for Acrobat XI Pro without the Add-On Create PDF being installed for IE, Firefox and Chrome. Now there is one user who would like to use this feature. How do I install the Add-On/Feature afterwards? Is it possible?

    Sabian pointed out that I missed you were running on a MAC. My directions were focused on Windows. I am not sure how you can find the task manager in the MAC, but many programs (browsers, Reader, and others) tend to leave a part running -- at least on a PC -- so that the program comes up fast. These resident parts of the programs may have to be disabled. The suggestion about anti-virus is still probably valid. Maybe you can find a way to see what background applications may be running on your MAC and be sure you have shut things down as needed.

  • Need install iso for acrobat 9 pro extended

    We have our key, but have lost our disc.  Anyone have the ISO for Acrobat 9 Pro Extended?  All that is listed on the website is the upgrade.  We need the full version installer.
    Thanks.

    Some of the older products used to be at ProDesignTools: Adobe® Developments in Focus, but apparently that has ended. If you know of someone local who has the product, you could probably just make a copy of the CD and use that. You will still need your S/N for the install. If you are installing on Win 8, then good luck if you can get a copy of the CD. AA 8 apparently does not work on Win 8 and I don't remember any comments about AA 9 on Win 8 either.

  • Acrobat X Pro License acceptance issue, crash

    Hi,
    I am using Acrobat X Pro on windows 7 (as part of the creative suite).
    When I open the program it asks me to accept the license agreement.  I click accept, the program opens and then closes and asks me again........continually.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this without reinstalling the whole suite again??  (have tried standard windows program repair).
    Many thanks

    Hi LauraFryer,
    You might want to refer the KB Doc : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-click-accept-acrobat-reader.html
    You can even set the Eula acceptance manually by modifying the registry key :
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AdobeViewer
    'EULA' Value = 1
    You can try using the following Command line to disable EULA & Registration dialogs.
    msiexec /i AcroPro.msi ISX_SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx EULA_ACCEPT=YES REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS=YES
