  • I am getting an invalid serial number error for Adobe Acrobat XI

    Hi -
    My principal has ordered a copy of Adobe Acrobat XI for a school computer. The disc came with a serial number for a Mac installation, which he is hoping to install on his macbook air. I am using Remote Disc to install it.
    However, the serial number that comes both on the invoice and on the back of the CD sleeve is only 23 digits long and when entered gives an Invalid Serial Number error. I would love it if somebody from Adobe could contact me and get a replacement serial number that would be valid for the installation.
    I'm not going to post the serial number here because of reasons.

  • Old computer died, can't activate Lightroom on new computer. Invalid serial number error.

    My old computer fried. Obviously, didn't deactivate Lightroom. Installed Lightroom on new computer but can't activate... getting invalid serial number error. Trying to get thru to Adobe is a joke. Help.

    Most likely, you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom which will not accept your serial number. You need to uninstall it, reboot, then download the standalone version of Lightroom and install that.

  • Invalid Serial number error given when reinstalling Acrobat 9 Standard. How can I reinstall?

    I recently reinstalled Windows7 on my PC and am trying to reinstall Acrobat from the disk that came with my PC. I have the serial number from the Adobe product registration page. I am receiving the error "Invalid Serial Number". I checked for any remnant files in my PC and the registry, there are none. How can I get this install to run?

    Just talked with Chat. I will post the transcript. What a waste of time.

  • Invalid serial number error message when installing Acrobat 7

    I have my original software CD and serial number but understand that I need to use the downloaded program because Adobe no longer supports the activation code required for installing from the disc.  I was under the impression that I was to use the original serial number.  This is what I used when reinstalling my CS2 Photoshop  in the same circumstances.
    I downloaded 22001904.exe and ran it but when it gets to the serial number I receive invalid serial number message no matter how I enter the number.  I even tried cutting and pasting from my Adobe profile, since I have registered the program w/ Adobe previously along with other Adobe programs.
    Can you advise me how to proceed? 
    Sincerely,
    brokripananda

    no, use the serial number listed on the page where you downloaded acrobat 7, not your acrobat serial number

  • Invalid Serial Number error installing Acro 8

    I purchased Acrobat 8 a few years ago. Hard disk crashed. Now trying to download/install on new hd. Picked the only option on "Other Downloads" screen. After download it ran. I copy/pasted my SN from "My Products" screen when prompted so no typos are possible:
    Serial: [removed by moderator - never share publicly](as shown on My Products screen!)
    InstallShield installer says "Invalid serial number". I tried many times, with and without dashes. I don't remember if I bought "Pro" version or not because "My Products" doesn't show that information. I think it's trying to install "Pro" and maybe thats the problem? But there is no option to download a "non-Pro" version! It only shows:
    Version 8
    Platform Win
    Registration date May 7, 2007
    Help!
    (No thank you, I do not want or need higher versions unless provided for free!)

    You should to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.  In this case they may at least be able to tell you if it is a version issue.  I don't know if there are any options to download a Standard version that old.  But if so, then the page to find it on would be... http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html

  • Fresh install of cs 2, invalid serial number error

    My version of CS wont register anymore. I was directed to install version CS2 from the website download section. I uninstalled CS from windows 7 and installed CS2 using the supplied installer. I used the supplied serial number only to get a inavlid name, company, or serial number error, and the program shuts down. Online help was of no help other than walking me through another fresh install of the program ending up with the same results.
    Is the problem in the registry? and if so how do I clean it without disrupting other programs?

  • Reinstalling Acrobat Pro 11 and receive invalid serial number error

    Any suggs on why this many be happening since the serial number is correct for loading?

    Pam, Thank you!  the problem is not finding the serial number.  I have that by looking up my registration.  The problem I am having is when running set up for the program you get to the serial number screen.  I enter the serial number as emailed and verified by my account, then proceed with the 'next" button.  That is when I receive the message, invalid serial number not a valid serial number go back and reenter.  I try to reenter and still the same message. 
    Any other suggestions or do you know how to actually speak to a representative?  If not it is time to scrap my new Adobe purchase and go back to Nuance's programs.

    Hi AbbyR,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum
    I can see that you have upgrade version of Acrobat pro 11, it is asking for previous qualifying serial number, a case has been assigned regarding this 0212208202.
    I am going to mail you the serial number required & which is registered under your email ID. Please enter that serial number & let me know if it worked.

  • Invalid serial number error when reinstalling Acrobat 9

    I am retiring an old PC that had Acrobat 9 Standard installed on it.  I retrieved the serial number using JellyBean keyfinder.  When I try to install Acrobat 9 Standard on the replacement PC and enter the serial number I get an error that the serial number is invalid.  As you would expect, Adobe support will not help.  So is there anything I can do?
    The first four digits of the serial # are: 1016

    You need to contact support directly for activation/deactivation and other installation issues. It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. You will need your serial number.

  • Acrobat XI Invalid Serial Number After Failed Install

    Hello,
       We currently have Adobe Acrobat XI on an enterprise license. I went to install this on 3 of our Windows 7 tablets. Prior to my attempt, I removed Adobe Reader XI which is what I always do. After that I started the installer on the machine and entered the key just fine. All 3 tablets got stuck around 96-97% and failed with an error 1935. I then followed the instructions located here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-1935-install-acrobat-reader.html
      Following a reboot, I tried to install again and now I am receiving the "Invalid Serial Number" error when trying to click "Next" on the installer. It won't even let me choose install trial and go. The next button does nothing when selecting trial. I tried running the offical Adobe Acrobat Cleaner and the Adobe CS6 cleaner (since Acrobat XI is part of CS6 technically). Both programs found items to delete but following a reboot I'm still receiving the same error. I also have other XI enterprise serials available and none of them work. I have a feeling something happened on the tablets that is causing the installer to think it's the wrong version or type for those serial numbers.
      Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
