Transfering Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to a new hard drive

I had to change hard drives and now need to re-install all my application programs. I was able to download Acrobat 9 Pro, but my licensed copy has now turned in to a 30 day trial and I don't know how to get a permanent licensed version. When I call up the software, I get a Software Setup screen that gives me two options. The first option, which is checked by default, is: "I have a serial number for this product." and a serial number is listed below. It is the same serial number I was issued when I purchased Acrobat 9 Pro.
So far so good. Then I click on next, and here is where the trouble begins. I get an Upgrade Check window with the following text:
The serial number you entered indicates that your setup is for a upgrade version of Adobe Acrobat Pro
To be eligible for this upgrade, you must already own qualifying product.
We looked in the default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine, but none were found.
You may verify upgrade eligibility without installing your previous software by completing the fields below.
Select a product you already own
Enter the serial number for this product
Acrobat 9 Pro is not listed in the drop down menu of product selections, so I am unable to get rid of my trial status.
Please help me. I am not trying to upgrade. I am just trying to download a replacement copy of Acrobat 9 Pro, which I already have a license for, on my new hard drive.
Thanks.

The message is indicating you are trying to install an upgrade version of the software, meaning when you purchased it, you purcjhased it as an upgrade to an earlier version. You need to provide proof that you meet the eligibility requirements by specifying the earlier version and submitting its serial number. If you believe you purchased the software as a full version and not an upgrade then you will need to contact Adobe Support directly by chat or phone to work things out.

Moving Adobe Acrobat XI to a new hard drive

I have an installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro program I use very often on my desktop computer. I installed it with a download install. I am about to transfer to using a new desktop computer and trying to figure out how to transfer the program to my new desktop hard drive without having to pay for it again. Any ideas on how I can transfer it?

You cannot transfer software. You do not need to purchase again, so long as you have not lost the essential things you purchased. I'm assuming you don't have a subscription - that would be different. To reinstall you will need
1. The original installer. The original CD, or if it was a download, the archived download. If you did not keep it, you can download the demo - but keep the installer, it may not be round forever, and if it goes, that's it.
2. Your serial number
3. If it was an upgrade the older serial number.
You may get a message about "too many activations"; in this case you will need to contact Adobe to have it sorted out. Allow plenty of time.

I had Adobe Acrobat Serial loaded before the hard drive crashed on my old PC. I have tried to download Acrobat 9 on my new PC, but always get the message “This is not a valid serial number”.
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?

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.

I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.

Hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files'

hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed and restored. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files' After my new drive was installed I plugged in time machine and it started backing up. I paused it when I realised that it was running for more than a few minutes. I now realise that it probably started backing up the new hard drive all over again. Which makes me think that the original back up must be on the WD back I cant seem to access it. Any ideas would be helpful.

Hi greg v.p44270855,
We would love to help. What part are you having trouble with? For starters, please make sure that you're logged in as an administrator, and temporarily disable any antivirus software. If you don't have the Acrobat installer, you can download Acrobat from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
If you're running into a particular problem with the installation, please provide some specifics about the problem (error messages, operating system and version, and so so).
Best,

Installing Adobe Acrobat Pro on Laptop & New PC

Previously submitted on 9/02/12 but pressed for an answer quickly, please.
I have previously installed Adobe Acrobat Pro on a laptop and a desktop computer. I had to replace the desktop with a new system having Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I have installed the Windows XP Virtual system to run several legacy programs crucial to my business. I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5 in the Windows 7 operating system and now need it installed in the XP Virtual system to access the Adobe printer for use with the legacy programs. How do I accomplish this feat?
Does the XP virtual installation count as a 3rd installation which is not allowed by my license even though this computer is the 2nd computer permitted by my license? If so, it seems I might be penalized.
Help, please. Is there an option in lieu of purchasing a new license?
Thanks in advance for all responses.

Re-install Adobe Acrobat Pro X on new PC

Does anyone know if I can move my Adobe Acrobat Pro X from my old PC to my new one without having to buy a new licence etc, and how do I go about it?

Hi Helen,
You can download Adobe Acrobat Pro X on your new computer using this link : Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X
Once you have installed the product you can serialize it using your old serial number or you can also serialize it using your adobe ID, you won't have to buy a new licence.
For any issues regarding the Serial key you can check this link : https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html
Let me know if you experience any issue.

Transferring Purchased Music from iPhone to new hard drive

Hard-drive burned up and has been replaced. Most music was backed up, but not all. And most of the new music (that hasn't been backed-up) is on the iPhone. But I can't copy the files on my iPhone back to my new hard drive. Obviously there are security measures to keep folks from transferring files all over the place. But it seems that if it's on my iPhone, I must have obtained it legally, and there must be some accommodation for a dead hard drive.
Same question for my iPhone apps. I'd rather not pay for apps twice, and iTunes won't let me copy them from my iPhone back onto my 'puter. As soon as I sync apps, they'll all disappear, unless there's some way to convince the phone that it's looking at the old, pre-burned-up-hard-drive.
File>Transfer Purchases sort of worked, but not completely. I have about 600 songs on my iPhone, and it copied about 200 of them to my new hard drive. I have music purchased from iTunes, music copied from purchased CDs, and free downloads (Starbucks, Paste, etc). And there's no trend in what got copied and what didn't. Some of each category was copied, but not all. Very confusing that I can't find a pattern.
OS X 10.5.8, iPhone 3G with 3.1.3

Apps issue solved. Or, more accurately, it's a non-issue. iTunes prompts you that you already bought the app and can download it for free. Not so with music, I'm afraid.

Transferring Itunes data and Library to new hard-drive question

Hello,
First I want to state that I made a mistake when I transferred my music to a new bigger harddrive. My bad.
I look here for some guidance, I read this article after the fact: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive so it was too late for me and I got these "!" signs on all my song. I have over 5000 songs (not including podcasts, movie and TV shows.
I tried to move my library (succesfully) in my new hard drive so I could keep my laptop clean of all music.
I though I will be clever and replace the target links into the "Itunes Library.xml" and "Itunes music Library.xml" files. Well not so clever because I still have the issue.
My question: Does anybody knows what else should be done to fix this issue (if fixable)? I would try to avoid linking all my music one at the time by using the "locate" function that ITunes pop up when you try to start a song.
It is also too bad that you must do it one song at the time, I calculated that if I do 20 songs a day it's going to take me 250 days and more...
Thanks for any idea/solutions you may have
Thierry

I though I will be clever and replace the target links into the "Itunes Library.xml" and "Itunes music Library.xml" files. Well not so clever because I still have the issue.
iTunes does not use these files.
They are created only for other apps to access the iTunes library.
Does anybody knows what else should be done to fix this issue (if fixable)?
See this -> iTunes Track CPR v1.3
"This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx). Any correct files found will be added to iTunes and will replace the "dead track" in each playlist it appears in (except Smart Playlists). Most tag data will also be rescued."

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.

Please help!!! Cannot run Windows Update in Win 7 Pro after changing new hard-drive. (X201s)

Hi everyone,
I have been using my thinkpad x201s for more than one year by now. And recently I change a new and larger hard drive for my laptop. When I tried the thinkpad rescue and recovery disc on the new hard drive, everything works fine except that I cannot run Windows Updates after the installation was finished. The recovery DVDs were burned directly from the original image stored in the computer when the first I received my laptop last year.
Every time when I try to run the Windows Update, it shows the following: "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer."
I restarted my computer later but nothing changed. Can't run Windows Updates and can't even install IE9.
I then moved back to my old hard drive and everything is normal, no problem with Windows Updates. I also tried to create a back-up image by running win 7 Backups and Restore. Later when I changed back to the new drive and followed the instructions to restore my system from the image I created earlier in a USB drive, it worked except that still the system can't run Windows Updates program.
I'm now getting very confused and upset, is it something to do with the software copyright? It's been a week now and I tried to Google the similar problem but no solutions work here. All I want to do is moving my current system to the new hard drive so that I can continue to use my laptop but it just failed updating every time.
Could anyone kindly tell me what to do when changing hard drive in order to avoid the problem I'm dealing with? Sorry I'm not a pro type user and just want my laptop to work appropriately.
My warranty has already expired so I guess the Lenovo Technical Hotline wouldn't answer my questions anymore. Please help!! Much appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!!

I'm not sure this is the issue, but from your description, it seems as though all you have to do is activate the windows update service. If I were you, I'd search for "Services" in the start menu, open it and look for "Windows Update". Check in its properties that it is set to "Automatic (Delayed)", if it isn't, set it, and start the service, you should then be able to check for updates, be careful though that none of your other programs aren't stopping the service, usually these programs are there to "optimize your performance" or "boost your system",...
Hope this helps.
