Upgrade installer not accepting old (Acrobat Pro X) serial number

So I'm stuck.  I'm waiting for a chat to begin with Adobe tech support.

Nevermind.  The installer was asking for the new SN.

  • InDesign Upgrade will not accept my PageMaker 6.5 Serial Number

    When I ordered InDesign from Sales, my PageMaker 6.5 Serial Number was verified by the Representative. However, when I went to install InDesign CS4, an error message appears stating that the serial number is not correct.
    I contacted Adobe and they said they could not help me. Instead, to post the issue in this Forum.
    I'm on the iMac OSX.5.
    I've upgraded Adobe products over the years and have never encountered this problem.
    I've got a major project to work on but cannot get at it. HELP!
    Thank you!

    Gayda,
    Rob is right that serial numbers are EXACTLY what customer service is supposed to help with.
    But until you get through, may I ask which serial number you're trying to input?
    I believe you need to find the serial number on the box of InDesign, not your old PageMaker serial number. (In case you were confused and tried to enter it.)

  • My old Acrobat 6.o serial number is not available. Next Step?

    Dear Colleagues,
    my task is to upgrade my old Acrobat 6.0 to 8.0 or higher.
    I`m blocked not able to register my old 6.0 with the serial number on the box at the Adobe central server.
    Is there a mail contact to the Adobe service team to provide the serial number scanned from the box?
    Appreciated your feedback.

    How to find the serial number of your Apple hardware product
    Do you have your Snow Leopard installer discs with you? If so, then try this:
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Proceed to reinstall Snow Leopard (do not erase the drive) over your existing OS X system provided it is a Snow Leopard system. If you have upgraded to Lion or later, then you must do something different.

  • Retrieving Acrobat Pro 9 Serial Number before installing Windows 7

    Hi everyone,
    I need to format the hard drive to install Windows 7 on a computer running Windows XP x64 and the user is not able to find it nor to tell me if it is a boxed version or a downloaded version possibly bought from the University Campus bookstore.
    Is the following procedure reliable or not (Could an Adobe Support Consultant confirm) :
    1. Open the registry editor
    2. If 32 bit OS : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Registration\SERIAL
       If 64 bit OS : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Registration\SERIAL
    3. Write down the number
    4. The only way to do this convertion you have to install same version of adobe on the computer with a valid serial number. Do no activate it
    5. After that go to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Registration\SERIAL
    6. Replace with the number you get from step 3
    7. Open Adobe Acrobat
    8. Help > Activation > By Phone
    10. The software will now show your own retail serial from your old installation

    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

  • Acrobat Pro XI Serial Number Issues

    I just bought and downloaded Acrobat Pro XI.  However, when I try to launch the product I get an error that says "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer".   What the heck is this and how do I fix this?  Of course, you can't actually get in touch with Adobe to get this resolved.  This has been the most frustrating and idiotic download I have ever encountered. 

    The messaging is indicating that you purchased an upgrade version of Acrobat and it is trying to find the earlier version that qualifies you to install and activate the upgrade.  You should have the option of entering the serial number for the previous version instead of actually having it installed.
    You should be able to tell if you purchased an upgrade based on the price you paid... check the product page.  If you did not intend to purchase an upgrade version then you should get that resolved thru Adobe Support directly by chat or phone.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

  • CS5 Master Collection Box Set - Where is Acrobat Pro 9 serial number?

    Hi there-
    I recently purchased the CS5 Master Collection Box Set - Student and Teacher edition. I have already properly registered myself as a Student with Adobe, and gotten a serial number which activated the Master Collection, but not apparently Acrobat Pro which is on a separate disc. I have searched through all the papers that came with the box, but so far no luck.
    Anyone know where to track this down?

    Yes, 24 digits for Acrobat on mine.
    I have a sixth sticker on the box it has an eight digit number on it followed by the text: DVS/A.STAM.5.0.WIN,GEN,WWE,ACT. I think this is only the product code for the CS5 Master Collection for Windows.
    The five serial numbers in the same order as above are 24, 34, 34, 24 and 24 digits.

  • Acrobat Pro X serial number "invalid" on reinstalling

    For reasons unconnected with Adobe products, I've needed to repartition my hard disc and reinstall the operating system. To reinstate Acrobat Pro X, which I'd purchased previously,  I downloaded it again from the Adobe site, and retrieved my serial number via my Adobe account. However, when I installed it, the software alleged that my serial number was invalid. Why? I paid a lot of money for Acrobat Pro. What do I do?

    I have just experienced the same problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.  I hope there is an easy solution.

  • Acrobat Pro ignoring Serial number in .MST

    Has anyone ever seen this = I created a .mst using the Adobe customization tool. When I run the acropro.msi with the TRANSFORMS=ACROPRO.MST it ignores my serial number. I get the company name and organization name but the serial number is  blank. The installations are failing as soon as I click next with a blank serial number.

    Hello RhondaLay
    Pleae try this command line option, and see it works for you. -
    msiexec.exe /qn /i "<full path to the .msi file>.msi" ISX_SERIALNUMBER=
    "<your valid Acrobat serial number>"

  • XI pro not in drop down list for serial number verification

    I have installed XI pro and am directed to the serial number upgrade page. XI pro is not on the drop down list and when I enter my serial number it tells me its not for the qualifying product when i try to use any of the XI drop downs. ???

    Hi smilinbudha
    As you've purchased an upgrade, when you enter the the Acrobat Pro XI serial number it will look for a previous qualifying version on your computer.  If not found, you have the option to enter your previous version serial number so would enter your Acrobat Pro X serial number.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Acrobat Pro X serial not working with Acrobat Pro XI

    I have a serial for Acrobat Pro X which I've been using for quite some time. After formatting my PC, I'm now trying to install Acrobat Pro on my new system but it seems that my serial "is not valid for Acrobat Pro XI".
    I'd be happy if I could install Pro X, but it's nowhere to be found on the internet.
    Let me get this straight: I can't reinstall a program I ALREADY BOUGHT when I remove it from my system. Nice.
    Help me out here please.
