Installing upgrade on a new computer

I have a new computer and want to re-install an upgrade (acrobat 8) but the new computer doesn't have the original software to upgrade from, and I can't find my original software disc (might have been a download..) 

When you install an upgrade it's not required for an older version of the software to exist on the computer. The installer prompts to select the previous version of the software you own and enter the serial number.
So make sure you have the serial number of the older version of the software.
and since you said that the older version might have been a download, you can login to your adobe account and check the purchase history to retrieve the serial number.
In case you still face issues you can contact Customer Care at 8008336687 and they would help you retrieve the serial number information if its registered under your account.

  • How to install upgrades on a new computer

    Hello. I just purchased the upgrade to CS5.5 yesterday, but I'm on a new computer. I tried to install my previous version (CS4) first on the new computer first, but my original full license is CS, so it's asking for THAT serial number. Which I don't have. I didn't purchase it from Adobe, but one of those companies like MacMall. The serial numbers in the "About" panels for the individual programs don't work. I don't have the box anymore, and I don't think I have the disks, althought they may be at my office somewhere. Copying CS programs onto the new machine isn't working either (I didn't think it would). I'm stuck. And need to work...I know I can do a trial version for now, but what is the process for this situation if I can't locate the serial numbers?
    I may have a receipt somewhere, but it's unlikely since it was so long ago.

    CS5.5 would only ask for the serial of the previous product which is CS4. No need to install anything.

  • Want to install Indesign on my new computer but am having trouble. First bought CS2 in 2009 and upgraded to 7.5 in 2011. I have the serial numbers for both and was able to use it on my last computer. Where do I start?

  • TS1538 I cannot sync my iPhone 3GS after upgrading to a new computer and installing iTunes

    i am trying to sync my iPhone 3GS to a new computer. I downloaded and installed iTunes and copied over the iTunes folder into My Music. Unfortunately iTunes on the new computer does not recognize my iPhone.
    - The old computer was running windows XP OS 32bit. My new computer is running Windows 7, 64 bit.
    - I have installed iTunes on the new computer. Windows OS recognizes the iPhone but iTunes does not. I have uninstalled and reinstall iTunes a few times now. On one reinstall, i recieved the following messages:  "an iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again".  Upon trying again, i recieved this message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an invalid response was received from the device".
    every other time, nothing happens other that Windows prompting that the iPhone is detected. Any suggestions appreciated.
    thanks, Singletrack200

  • Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer. Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10, which has been installed in new computer. CS5 install says I need CS2,3, or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went dir

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

  • Installing CS4 on a new computer.

    I am trying to install CS4 onto a new imac I recently purchased. When I open the program it asks for the serial number for the CS4 product which I enter and get the green check mark. It then asks for an "Upgrade Check" this requires me to enter the product and serial number for which my version of CS4 was an upgraded version. I do not have the packaging or anything for the CS2 software this was an upgrade from, however it is still installed on my old computer. Is there anyway for me to be able to verify the serial number to install CS4 on my new computer. I have attached a screen shot of the second prompt screen. Please HELP!!

    Hi dillonpope7,
    You need to contact customer service to unlock the serial number.
    You can even reach our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

    Thanks in advance.

    Simply install Acro XI. It will ask for a serial number of a previous product in teh second install step.

    I am getting the message "The windows installer Service could not be accessed when trying to install Itunes on my new computer, any help would be appreciated.

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 about 6 months ago. I want to install it to my new computer which is a Macbook Pro with no CD Drive. How do I do this?

    I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 about 6 months ago. I want to install it to my new computer which is a Macbook Pro with no CD Drive. How do I install it when I got it in CD form?

    I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
    In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • HT1751 Just installed itunes on my new computer.  My music is on an external drive.  How do i get newly installed itunes on new computer to recognize the music on the external drive?

    I just got a new PC, thank goodness.  All my music is on an external drive (F).  i installed Itunes on my new computer.  Now want to get itunes to recognize all the music on my external drive.  Don't want to put music on new computer, but keep on external drive.  Can anyone help me - thanks

    Was the media solely on the external library?  If so, it is likely that iTunes was started at some point with the external drive unaccessible.  Simply point iTunes to the correct library location.  To do this, close iTunes.  Hold <SHIFT> and launch iTunes.  When prompted to find library or create a new one, select the find option and point iTunes to where the iTuneslibrary.itl file is at on your computer (or external drive).
