No valid serial number found

We recently pushed out Reader 9.3.3 via Altiris and have found that after that is done, when users open up Adobe Acrobat it states, "No valid serial number found.  Acrobat will now close."  I've found the following entry in the event viewer that may be of use.  Just wondering why Adobe Acrobat can't find the serial number after Reader 9.3.3 is installed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It could be another one of the many conflicts that can be experienced by having both installed. Adobe doesn't recommend or support that configuration.

  • Adobe Acrobat - "No valid serial number found. Acrobat will quit now" message

    I moved some things around on my computer from the C drive to the D drive to make space, including Adobe Acrobat professional 6.0. Now, when I go to open it, I get the message "No valid serial number found. Acrobat will quit now". I have tried moving everything back to where it was, but that does not work. I do not have the CD to reinstall it, but I do have the serial number. Where do I go to enter the serial number? After the message pops up, Acrobat closes altogether and will not let me do anything.

    I have exactly the same problem as Oxbay - but, I do have the CD & the serial number. When reinstalling the program, it just loads, never gives me the opportunity to save to a specific drive (which caused the problem in the first place), enter the serial number, or ask which type of installation (full or custom). I use the program erratically so no intention of upgrading to 8.0 Professional, but do need the program. You can't get into the "Help" section for a detect or repair issue. Any other suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you!

    Anne Marie Bartella please verify the serial number you are using is the same serial number registered with Adobe.  For more information please see Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

    After 6 tries to load Photoshop CS6 on my new laptop, I keep getting the following message after I enter my valid serial number: "Serial number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  What I'm, trying to do is download the qualifying product which I purchased just a year ago?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I contacted Adobe support Chat and they confirmed the serial number and gave me a response code number to enter. Once that was entered the product downloaded immediately. The whole process took 10 minutes.  Thank you for your response. I'm all good now.

  • No valid acrobat serial number found?

    I have reinstalled my CS2 with Acrobat Pro & after a disc crash where I had to replace the hard drive.
    After I reinstalled it on the new hard drive,using the correct serial on the box, it keeps coming up with the above message.
    "no valid acrobat serial number found. Acrobat will now quit".
    I have tried reinstalling 3 times with no luck.
    Can anyone guide me through how to fix this?

    It is certainly going to increase your difficulties.  Windows 7 was not released at the time when Acrobat 8 was available.  You can find the system requirements at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-produ cts.html#main_System_requirements_for_Acrobat_8_Pro.  Most certainly you will be unable to generate PDF files using the Adobe PDF printer.

    I can't help directly, but when I installed CS5 I received 2 serial numbers... one for everything else of CS5, and one just for Acrobat... and Acrobat was a separate install
    Did you receive 2 serial numbers with your CS2 suite?

  • Valid serial number of CS6 not accepted online

    Hi
    CS6 is running on my PC with a valid Serial Number which I used during installation and which I still have in print. When I now try to register this product with said serial number, system always says 'enter valid serial number'. Very strange, as product is running smoothly already with that serial number. How come I cannot register it online? Is it because it's a few years old?
    Thx!

    Found it... Adobe site states, that trial versions of CS6 are no longer available and instead I could download trial version of CC. But that's not much of a help, when I only have a licence for CS6....

  • I need to reinstall my Acrobat 9. Have a disc and serial number, but when I enter the number I am told it is not a valid serial number. Checked my registration for CS 5 and that is the number. Now what?

    In trying to reinstall the Adobe Pro 9, I keep getting the message that I ado not have a valid serial number. But I am using the number Adobe shows as the number with which I registered the product. Need this program to work. Any advice?

    If it's a CS5 number you need to install with your Creative Suite disks, NOT an Acrobat download.

    I am changing laptops and have tried to download and install Acrobat 9 Standard from the Adobe website, but get message that my serial number is invalid. I log in and double check my account and it shows as a valid serial number.  Now what?

    If you had it on a laptop that crashed and you threw away, it is still considered as activated on that machine.  YOu should contact Adobe by chat or by phone and have them deactivate for you.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/download-install/supportinfo/
    If you are getting a message that indicates the serial number is not valid, you should look thru the following:

    I had Adobe 9 Standard on the old.  But what downloads from the page http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html is Adobe 9 Pro.  Perhaps this Pro version is the problem. 
    Anyway, can you point me to a way to install Adobe on my new PC?

  • Flex Builder 3 forgets valid serial number, constant prompt

    Hi all,
    I installed Flex Builder 3 on a Windows XP 32 bit machine under one user account. It came up and worked great for several days. Later on, I made another user account and tried to use Flex Builder 3. Each time it starts up it says my trial period is expired and I need to enter a serial number. At that point I re-enter my serial and it accepts it as valid. However, as soon as I move to build a project or do practically anything, the program re-prompts that my trial period is expired and I need to re-enter a valid serial.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flex Builder a number of times, but that does not help this issue. I have deleted the file c:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flex\license.properties, but that does not fix the issue. Deleting this file gives me a new trial period and the same behavior of accepting and "forgetting"/"ignoring" my valid serial number. One note, this file does contain my serial number and the date and time that the program most recently accepted it as a valid serial number.
    Are there registry keys that perhaps did not get unset or other "magic files" that I need to delete to completely reset the serialization process? It is very frustrating that it is not accepting and "remembering" the valid license key.
    Thanks for any guidance!

  • Valid Serial Number, but Wrong Product?

    After an hour long chat with a technical support person yesterday I am still not any closer to fixing this problem. Can someone here please point me in the right direction?
    I have a valid serial number for Design and Web Premium Pro CS6. Because of a hard drive problem I had to download and reinstall, which I did without any problem, but when I was prompted for my serial number I got this error:
    The pull down menu you see here does not include Design and Web Premium Pro, so the activation stalls at that point. I double checked my account page to make sure I had the right product name and serial number, and I do.
    The technical support person told me to download CS6 again, and I did that -- I downloaded the Design and Web Premium Pro package, and then the same problem popped up. Any thoughts on how to resolve this would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

    with the serial number redacted:
    I would love to get in touch with Adobe, but every time I try to start the process I end up at the same place: here, on the forum. Can you point me to a phone number? Because I'm getting dizzy on this carousel. And thanks for your help, I'm happy if I've finally explained the situation well enough to make somebody see the problem.

  • Failure to register Adobe Photoshop in myAdobe account. Error message states enter a valid Serial Number

    Hi,
    I have a licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended, it is okay when I enter the serial number in the application but when I try to register it online with it comes up with an error message "enter a valid serial number"?

    Hi Ashutosh,
    I am talking about registering the product in MyAdobe not the application. The application accepts the serial number, however, online registration is not accepted. The myAdobe ID is [email protected] and the serial number is [serial number removed]. I have 2 adobe IDs how can I transfer the applications from one ID to my preferred ID and have the [email protected] ID removed? Sorry for the two questions.
    [Mod note - serial number removed.]
