Reinstalling Acrobat XI Upgrade to a new drive

I had to purchase a new computer, how do I reinstall Acrobat XI Pro 'upgrade' to a new hard drive.
Thank you

Just try installing again. As it is an upgrade you'll also need to have to hand the serial number of the qualifying product. It may work, or it may complain that it is already installed. If that happens you just need to contact Adobe Customer Service and explain the problem.

To reinstall Acrobat 8 Upgrade I need to present previous versions e.g. 3 and then 4 and then 5 Upgrade every time. Is there no simpler way to validate my ownership?

I had two laptops stolen and the reinstall is a real pain. This also applies to reformats and changeovers to Windows 7, etcetera.

Windows 7? Then don't waste your life minutes fumbling with an Acrobat 8 - Windows 7 combination.
If you are to be using Win 7 you'll need the current release of Acrobat (XI). "X" will function but it is no longer marketed by Adobe.
Be well...

Hi 12msonti,
Please try the following:
Delete the Adobe PCD folder and caps.db file:
Windows: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD
\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
Launch Acrobat and enter the serial number and check.

Reinstall W7 Home Premium on a new drive

I have to replace the har drive on this desktop as the original one has failed. I will need to reinstall the OS (Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit). Windows was originally preinstalled on the drive when purchased so I do not have original install disks but I have found a set of HP recovery disks which I'm pretty sure are from this computer. My other computer is also an HP but is W8.1. I have located a product key and tried to see if I could download a fresh copy of W7 but the product key is not the usual I expected to see. One of the groups of characters is "OEM" which I know is an indication that it was installed by HP. I got this key off the system screen before I removed it from service. What approach should I be taking when I get a new drive for this machine for installing Windows?

As far as I know, HP will not assist with that. M$ response is typical, to defer to the manufacturer. I will tell you there are other ways to accomplish this, however. You can buy a retail Windows 7 install disk from another place than M$. Assuming the Windows 7 is Home Premium on the COA, you can borrow a Windows 7 Home Premium disk from a friend, use the disk to intall Windows 7 and then use the COA key to activate. Make sure to get what you want, IE 32Bit or 64Bit Also, before you start and download all the drivers from the HP download site and save them to a flash drive or a CD/DVD.BTW: since I have my own install disk, I cannot comment on this seller but it would seem it could be OK, after reading the description: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WINDOWS-7-Ultimate-Starter-Home-Basic-Premium-Pro-32-64-Bit-SP1-ReINSTALL-DVD-/252026259505?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aadef8831What they are selling you could have made on your own, if you had the download from M$ before they pulled it from the servers.

Migrating an Acrobat X upgrade to a new Win7 laptop

I'm migrating Acrobat X to my new laptop. I had Acrobat 8 on my old laptop and purchased X as an upgrade. Now when I activate / enter my license number on the new laptop, I get an error message that "the license number is valid but you must have a previous version on your computer." I don't want to install v8 on my new laptop. How can I activate X on my new laptop?

Usually you just need to provide the serial number for the version from which you are upgrading as proof of meeting the upgrade requirement. There should be an option to provide it.

Reinstall Acrobat Pro 9 after a hard drive crash?

So I am sitting here looking at the disk I have and the serial number. I cannot remember where we bought this and I am not sure I even have that documentation anymore. All I can recall is that it was 2 licenses per disk. I do know we did not buy it thru the adobe website.
Can I re-install on the new hard drive or am I going to have problems activating because there is obviously no way to deactivate the old one since the hard drive crashed?

If you have only installed once, then you still have one activation left. If you have no activations left, then you have to contact Adobe and explain that you lost the harddrive so that they can reset your activation count.

Reinstalling Acrobat Pro 9 on new computer without disc

My organization is purchasing new computers next year. We have two old computers that currently have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on them. I do not have a disc or install download information as this installation occurred quite some time ago before I worked here. I'm wondering if it's possible to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro on the new computers when we get them, then update them to Acrobat XI Pro - or somehow wind up with Acrobat XI Pro on both new computers without having to purchase brand new copies (which I believe are significantly more expensive than just the update - we're a non-profit, so money is tight). If this is indeed possible, how would I go about doing it?
Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi SGPL,
You can download Acrobat 9 from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
And then use the serial number to activate it.
But make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

Reinstall Acrobat X Pro on new laptop?

I reinstall Acrobat X Pro on my new laptop?

Did you reinstall or what? If you had AA X installed on a previous laptop, you will need to deactivate it and then install it on the new system. If it is Win8, then you in for possibly finding it does not work, particularly for a 64-bit system. At least, once the install is done (assuming it is successful), you will then need to install the updates.

Upgrading To A New Hard Disk Migrating Data

Like many old MacBook users right about now, we're all thinking about upgrading our 60 or 80 GB OEM hard drives. Well, I went and did it and I have a few questions after-the-fact, not to mention documenting my experience.
First I chose the Seagate Momentus 160GB 7200.2 (ST9160823ASG). This replaces the OEM Seagate Momentus 80GB 5400.2 (ST98823AS). The reason for this is simple ... the OEM drive worked flawlessly and I was willing to spend a little extra to ensure continued performance. I also chose to bundle it with a CMS USB 2.0 external enclosure data transfer kit to re-use my old drive.
My first surprise was that the CMS auto-transfer software was Windows only, despite the fact they make a Macintosh back-up product. The second surprise was that there was no Apple auto-transfer options. I literally spent an hour searching the Apple website and built-in help and tutorials to find a way to do this. Thanks to all on this discussion website as I ended up choosing a third party "clone" software to copy my old drive.
Which brings me to my first question. Every-time I tried to use Disk Utility to make a disk image of my old disk, I got the response that the disk image failed because resources were in use. Is that normal? Is there a way to make a back-up disk image using included Apple disk utilities? If not, then Apple NEEDS to spell it out, rather than a one line blurb in the disk install manual they publish that says basically: first back up your data. Thanks Apple, big help.
So I ended up using Carbon Copy Cloner, for a variety of reasons. A. it's $5 shareware and B. it specifically got better reviews than SuperDuper ($27). As far as I can tell, Carbon Copy Cloner did an exceptional job of perfectly backing up my old HD. BUT ...
Now here comes the next question ... the CMS enclosure seemed fine, but between CarbonCopyCloner and the USB 2.0 interface, it took over 9 hours to make a disk image of my old hard drive!!! Is THAT normal? Would a Firewire interface have sped this process up? Is SuperDuper faster? I must admit when I then used Disk Utility to restore the disk to the new drive, it took another 6 hours, so my guess is it wasn't the software's fault. Maybe it just takes a **** of a long time to move 80GB data. If the USB 2.0 interface is the bottleneck, then I highly recommend paying extra for a firewire enclosure. Would love to get a definitive answer here.
The process of installing the drive was simple. Thank you Apple (seriously). The new drive booted right up and the system is as zippy as ever ... but you knew it was coming:
The new 7200 rpm drive ran smoothly and absolutely silently in the external enclosure when I was backing up the old HD. Once installed, I immediately noticed a new vibration. Nothing huge, but it's there when now it wasn't on the OEM drive. The whole MacBook vibrates, stem to stern. The drive also seems hotter under my palm. Seeing all manor of these "VIBRATION" issues on other posts, I would suggest that anyone upgrading to a new drive, install the HD first to ***** the level of vibration before going to the lengthy duplicating process. It also seems to spin constantly, which the 5400 may well have done too but was otherwise unnoticeable.
My question here is, since these drives are virtually identical, does the 7200 rpm cause the added vibration & heat not present on the 5400, or could I have less-than-optimal drive which might be improved with a different drive? Also, the last time I had a high vibration drive on my PowerBook G3 it continued to get worse over the course of a year and Apple finally replaced it under Apple Care.
All-in-all it was a simple and relatively straightforward process once I found all the pieces, that is and Apple did not make it easy. I chewed up a lot of time I did not have looking for instructions. I've been using Macs since the original Macintosh in 1984. Ah I long for the days when I could just open a disk, insert another, select all and drag the contents to a new disk and voila! An exact copy of the original. Apple finally gets an A+ for RAM & Drive upgrade accessibility. But they get an F for making the data migration process as complicated as possible, particularly for something as important as our data. I'm sure their strategy is for everyone to take their computers to the Apple Store for upgrades and anyone else should already know how to do it. Well, I would suggest that most of us fall somewhere in the middle. We can put the new drive in and backup our data, but like making a good cake, we need the recipe.

Doug, I appreciate your input, however re-installing OSX is exactly what I DON'T want to do. Not only would it take an extended amount of time to update from 10.4.6 to 10.4.10 but importing files from the old hard disk comes nowhere near copying over every modification I've made to my system. The idea here, as I would think with anyone upgrading their hard drive with a perfectly working system, is to increase disk space and just keep right on going without missing a step. WIth all due respect your suggestion is absolutely the wrong advice in this situation. The last time I took such advice, I found myself missing many of the system helper applications allowing me to access hardware and software and all of it had to be reinstalled as I discovered things were no longer working as they should have. I DO NOT recommend re-installing OS X to anyone wishing to upgrade their drive, unless you are having problems with your system or just want to clean house. Apple should understand this. The bug thing on the install disk is just one of the many headaches involved in this process. My understanding was that I cannot make a disk image from the install disk was well as being unable to restore. However, if that's possible, then I could have done what I wanted without using a third party "shareware" solution. I will check it out and report back. Call me paranoid, but I would prefer to keep my data backup in the hands of those who formatted it originally, i.e. Apple. I would happily use a proven commercial utility, but for something as routine as upgrading my hard disk, I shouldn't have to pay to do it. Time was, if Apple had a bug in their startup utility disk, they would have corrected the error and sent a replacement to all registered users. Time was.

How to move MACOS to new drive?

How do I upgrade to a new drive - MACOS Lion installed?

Exactly how Niel says.
Make sure you erase/format your new hard drive using disk utility.
Format it as MAC OS Extended Journaled then proceed to clone it using carbon copy.
Once done, install your new drive in your macbook and use your old drive as a back up drive.
