"Invalid Serial Number" with "Acrobat 7.0 Standard"

I have a retail copy of "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard" with a valid serial number I am trying to install. I understand that the activation servers are down, so I had downloaded the installer executable from the Adobe website so I can install without communicating with the activation servers. (22001904.exe)
I am now repeatedly receiving a "Invalid Serial Number" message when trying to install. I have verified with Adobe customer service that my serial is valid and I have the correct installation executable. Aside from that the Adobe customer service have been support me any further, and suggested I turn to the community based forums.
Any work around for this or known fixes? Thanks!

http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l provides the information needed about the license issue. To use AA7 with Win 7, 32 or 64-bit you will have to add a PS printer. The Adobe PDF printer from AA7 will not run on Win7 and AcroTray will fail also. To get around the problem you will have to install a PS printer, either from Adobe or one of the HP color PS printer drivers. After installing, go to the properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and change the port to FILE. You will always have an extra step in the PDF creation due to the failure of AcroTray. You will have to open the file created by the printer in Distiller to create a PDF.
You will also want to do the updates (ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/).

  • Invalid Serial Number with Acrobat 9.0

    After performing an administrative install of Acrobat 9.0 an "Invalid Serial Number" error is thrown on installation. The error appears no matter how the serial number is given: typing it in, transform, or ISX_SERIALNUMBER=. The installation works when using setup.exe. Our installation package HAS to be in msi format. Sometimes the serial number works if I rename asnv.tmp to .msi and use it to install.

    The only way this will install with an Administrative install is to include Asnv.tmp in the installation source.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    Hi ivank25654647,
    I have checked the serial number you have provided and it looks like a Volume Serial number to me. There are mainly two reasons why this error might pop up :
    1) You are using the installer for a Retail product and using the volume serial number as that combination do not work.
    2) You have a stand alone installer for Acrobat and not a suite installer.
    I would request you to kindly navigate back to the licensing website and go to Licenses>Downloads and search for the download link for the Creative Suite 5 and then download Acrobat again. This should resolve the concern that you have.
    Cheers,
    Kartikay Sharma

  • Invalid Serial Number when installing Acrobat 9 on new PC

    Invalid Serial Number when installing Acrobat 9 on new PC

    I wonder if this is related to the previous version issue with Acrobat 8 that displayed the same or similar error?
    Here is the text from a very old document for Acrobat 8 KB if you want to try it but I don't know if it will work
    Error: "You have entered an invalid serial number..." when you try to launch Acrobat 8 Standard on a Dell computer
    Issue
    When you try to launch Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard on a Dell computer, the program returns the error message, "You have entered an invalid serial number. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and enter a valid serial number when asked."
    Solution
    Check the alm_config_files folder for a duplicate AdobeConfig.xml file.
    Navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\alm_config_files
    The following two files should appear in this folder:
    AdobeConfig.xml
    AdobeConfig.xml.aiwbf
    Delete the AdobeConfig.xml file.
    Rename the AdobeConfig.xml.aiwbf to AdobeConfig.xml by deleting the "aiwbf" suffix.
    Launch Acrobat 8 Standard.
    Additional Information
    On some Dell computers, a duplicate AdobeConfig.xml file is created when Acrobat 8 Standard is installed. The AdobeConfig.xml file without the "aiwbf" suffix is written for a volume-license version. The correct AdobeConfig.xml file is given the suffix. When a retail version of Acrobat tries to read the volume-license AdobeConfig.xml file, Acrobat returns the error.

  • 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.

    Hi Rosa,

  • 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
