Runtime Error / Invalid Serial Number

I have Tech Comm Suite 3 on Windows XP SP3.  Things were running fine yesterday when I left the office.  This morning I am getting a "Runtime Error! This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."  when I attempt to launch either FrameMaker or Photoshop.  For FrameMaker, if I leave this message alone, the application attempts to start, but then displays a "Your serial number is no longer valid. Try reinstalling FrameMaker using a valid serial number." message.  What does all of this mean?  And why is it suddenly appearing today?

So I tried to do some sleuthing on Adobe's FTP site.
They host every single incremental update file to the Adobe Acrobat 9 software, but not the installation software itself!  How ridiculous!
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/9.x/
I also found out that other users are having the same issue:
Re: Need Acrobat 9 Standard download
Why should I have to waste more time arguing with the TST just to install something that could be public facing to begin with?

    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,

  • Acrobat 8.1 Invalid Serial Number

    How do I activate Acrobat 8.1 when I get the error "Invalid Serial Number" although the number  I use matches the number listed in my Adobe on-line account?

    Hi crunchycrisp,
    First of all i wont suggest you to install Acrobat 8 on windows 8. This version of application has never been tested on Windows 8.
    You may upgrade to the latest version of Acrobat.

  • 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.

  • How can Adobe Acrobat have an invalid serial number, but yet still be able to successfully install?

    (with the invalid serial number causing it to not be able to be registered with Adobe Systems, Inc.)
    Adobe Systems says the serial number is invalid, but the product successfully installed as normal with no errors.
    If the serial number is invalid, shouldn't the installation have terminated and stated that the serial number is invalid?

    Hi caseyclaassen,
    Acrobat would continue the installation even without serial key but then it will be good only for 30 days.
    After the trial poeriod is over, it will prompt you to enter a valid serial number to continue using it.
    If you have purchased a valid serial number and still getiing this error, you might want to refer to the KB Doc : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-invalid-serial-number-acrobat.html
