Invalid serial number for Acrobat Pro 6.0

I had to reinstall Acrobat Professional 6.0(from a downloaded copy purchased from Adobe.com). The install will not complete. It says "Invalid serial number. Please try again". The only option is to cancel, and then I get the Message: "Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly. Adobe Acrobat was unable to install a necessary component and must quit."
I have verified the number with Adobe Licensing. Adobe Support informs me that they do not support version 6 and the answer is hidden away in the knowledgebase. I have searched the forums and the knowledgebase - to no avail.
Can someone please help or point me to the Doc # (if there is one).
Please do not suggest that I download a pirated version. That is not an option for me.
G4 PowerPC 500MHZ, 1GB SDRAM, 100GB still available on HD. OS X 10.4.11
Can anyone help please?
thanks,
MWG

  • After installation it says unable to validate this serial number for Acrobat Pro XI. Why? What do I do?

    I received my serial number online and went through the installation process. After it was successfully installed I wend to open Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and followed the prompt to enter my serial number and then received this error message "We are unable to validate this serial number for Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. Please Contact Customer Support."
    I've read several FAQ and troubleshooting discussions but none have touched specifically on this.
    I would have called customer support but did not see a number to call.
    Does anyone know what exactly is wrong or what I can do to resolve the issue?

  • I have a serial number for Acrobat Pro 8 that won't work. I can't upgrade to Pro 11, so I am shut out of using what I paid for?

    I was just given a "new" serial number for my Acrobat Pro 8, but it is the same number as the one I got from the
    Adobe site-- and does not work. How can I use a program I paid for without buying Pro 11 brand new?

    What message do you get, exactly? (Please don't include the serial itself).
    Is this using the original CD that came with the Acrobat 8 product?
    Does it say anything about a "qualifying product"?

  • Can I use my serial number for Acrobat Pro VIII for Acrobat Reader XI?

    I bought Acrobat Pro VIII several years ago. Can I use the serial number I received at the time to activate the professional functions in Acrobat Reader XI?

    Adobe Reader's additional functions like ExportPDF and CreatePDF are subscription based and do not have a serial number basis.

  • How do I find my serial number for Acrobat Pro 11?

    I purchased direct from Adobe and registered my installation but it shows no registered products on my page. I have purchased a new computer and need to download a copy to install but it asks for my serial number.  I have checked all my saved emails and do not have one from adobe.

    Never mind, I did an online chat with an Adobe tech and he was able to search all my past email addresses and find the one I used to place the order.  I was then able to sign in to that address and get the serial number.

  • Where do I get my serial number for Acrobat Pro?

    I just purchased my one year subscription, but I did not receive a serial number.

    Hi Ramoskr,
    If you've purchased a subscription, no serial number is required. Once your order processes fully (which can take 24-48 hours), your Adobe ID/password will work as verification of your purchase. You just need to log in, download Acrobat, and install it.
    Best,

    If that is possible can you attach the screen shot of the error message. Make sure the serial number is not visible in screen shot.

    When i Select .. Into a VARCHAR bind variable, i have to initialize the variable before, otherwise i get an ORA-1458.A bind variable in a SQL is simply a place holder. The SQL engine has no idea what data type the value for that placeholder will be. When itself needs to return a value via that placeholder to the caller, it needs to know what the limits/size of the caller's variable is that will be receiving the value from it.
    The way that the SQL engine knows what the data type and size are of a placeholder/bindvar, is by you the caller, telling it.. by binding the variable you will be using, to this placeholder.
    This bind process "exposes" the data type and size of the variable that will be used for binding (sending/receiving data).

  • Invalid serial number using Acrobat 8 CD

    I am trying to install Acrobat 8 on a workstation I swapped out. Acrobat 8 was on the "old" workstation. I deactivated it from the help menu and Acrobat 8 reported that the license had been successfully released. Then I installed Acrobat 8 on the new workstation. I get an error message saying invalid serial number. I know I am using the right serial number. I think the problem is that I am using a different CD than the one that was originally used and I am guessing the serial number is somehow coded on the installation CD, so that it is the invalid serial number for that particular CD. However I have no idea where the first CD is anymore as other people use it besides me. Presumably I should be able to install Acrobat 8 from any media (I hope) as long as I have a valid and legal serial number. Is there any way to get past that error message for my situation?

    There may well be many different installer CDs, depending upon if the Acrobat is an upgrade from a previous version, a new full version installer, or even one that came with another suite. You need to find the correct disk for the serial number you have. If you cannot find one, perhaps Adobe Customer Service can help you. Needless to say your company should not be playing fast and loose with installation disks that are worth big money.
