Why does Application Manager say "Try" for Acrobat XI Pro?

If I have a Creative Cloud subscription, why does the Application Manager say "Try" for the Acrobat XI Pro app? Shouldn't I be able to upgrade my existing X Pro version? I have tried in the past, but it will not work after download.

Re-reading my post from Saturday, I thought I could add some more detail about what I am actually seeing.
When I launch Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.2, the standard Acrobat window providing options for the next actions I can take with Acrobat - Open a file, combine files into a PDF, etc. - appears briefly and then Adobe Application Manager launches automatically.  AAM shows me a window labeled "Adobe Acrobat XI."  At the top of the window area is the title "Serial Number Upgrade," and the text below that headline states, "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  It goes on to state, "To use this serial number, you must own one of these qualifying products. Please choose the one you own and enter its serial number."
Below that there is a drop-down menu titled "Select a product," which lists the following products:
Adobe Acrobat X Standard
Adobe Acrobat XI Standard
Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Adobe Acrobat X Pro Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat X Pro Windows
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Windows
Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Windows
Adobe Acrobat 3D V8
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended
Adobe Acrobat X Suite
Next to this drop-down menu is a text entry block for the serial number.
Below that is the text, "If you have registered products in the past, you can go to you account page to find your serial number. Contact Customer Support for further assistance."
My next step will probably be to do another complete uninstall and reinstall to see if that changes anything.

  • Why does Application Manager show up in Japanese?

    I have been having problems with the Application Manager always showing up in Japanaese making it very hard for this English speaker to figure out what I'm trying to download. I have tried re-installing the software to no avail.
    This is on a MacBook Air running 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this so that I can download applications?

  • Why does Application Manager keep telling me to install Edge Animate?

    Every time I launch the Adobe Application Manager, it tells me I have to install Edge Animate, even though I have the most updated version, every other application just says "Up to date".

    So that's correct, If you have the most updated apps, It should say "Up to Date".

  • Why does it take so long for Acrobat to call up a PDF?

    I run Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0 on Windows XP Home.
    When I want to view a PDF -- either by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer or by opening Acrobat and calling it up through "File/Open..." -- it takes 15 to 30 seconds for Acrobat to bring up the document.
    It wasn't always this slow. Calling up a PDF was once quite snappy.
    I uninstalled, then reinstalled Acrobat 9 to see whether that would help. It didn't.
    I checked services, but Acrobat and the programs on which it depends start automatically.
    No other program seems to be affected in this way.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the tip.
    Seems to me a lot of sophisticated programs are adding "features" like this that wind up making the program more difficult to use.
    I'm solving the problem by switching to a smaller, less complicated program.
    Again, thanks.

  • Why does Application Manager show that Lightroom 4.1 is installed when in fact it isn't?

    I attempted to install Lightroom 4.1 three times and it stopped on 99% installed each time.  Restarted Windows 7 and had the following results when I logged into the Application Manager.  I had installed Photoshop CS6 earlier than Lightroom and Muse after the attempts at Lightroom.  They both installed and launched correctly

  • Why does application manager only shows me CS6 version of the apps? How do install the CC versions?

    Everything in the Adobe site leads me to believe that the CC versions of the aplications are the current versions, however, when I open application manager, I only see the CS6 versions. Do I have to uninstall something and then reinstal? What do I do to install the CC versions?

    The Creative Cloud versions will not be available until June 17th.  Please see the following related discussions.

  • Why does Adobe keep releasing updates for Acrobat that make the PDF print option diasappear?

    I am really disappointed that after installing an update to  Acrobat 9 my PDF printer has disappeared from my printer list.
    This is the second time this has happened. The last time this happened Adobe were still supporting Acrobat 9 and they ended up having to remote in to my machine to fix it.
    Now I have to pay if i want that level of support!!! It begs the question why they release these destructive updates. Is it to force people to upgrade to X or purchase support. 
    Can anybody give me some instructions on how to manually install the PDF printer?
    I am running windows 7

    Launch the Devices and printers setup utility through the Control Panel.
    2Select the \"Add a Printer\" option.
    3Click the \"Next\" button and select the \"Local Printer Attached to This Computer\" option.
    4Deselect (uncheck the box) the  \"Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer\" option and  click the \"Next\" button.
    5Select \"My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)\" in the port selection drop-down menu and click the \"Next\" button.
    6Select the \"Have Disk\" option and click the \"Browse\" button to open a dialog box.
    7Select the \"AdobePDF.inf\" file  located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under  \"Adobe,\" \"Acrobat 9.0,\" \"Acrobat,\" \"Xtras.\"
    8Select the first item (top item) on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click the \"Next\" button.
    9Type \"Adobe PDF\" in the field for a printer name and click \"Next.\"

  • Why does it take so long for my MacBook Pro to start?

    When I start up my MacBook, it takes a good minute or two for the gray screen to go away.  Is this normal, or is there something I can do to speed up the process?

    try this - go to system preferences and select your hard drive as the start up drive - even if it's already selected, select it again and restart your macbook.
    if that doesn't work - do a SMC RESET and see if it improves the way your Macbook performs.
    while you're at it - once you're up and running - open disk utility and verify your disk permissions - if errors are found, repair them and restart your Macbook and see if that makes it perform faster for you.
    also see how much disk space you've got left.  when you're close to full, it's normal for your macbook to slow down.
    good luck - hope those tips helps you out.

  • HT1766 Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Drivers are iOS specific....meaning if your old one had iOS 7.0.6 and your new one 7.1 then it needs different drivers.
    Is your iTunes up do date? if not, then updating it may help.
    You can also try using a different usb cord and port to see if that triggers the driver download.
    or, if that doesn't work, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs. Look for 'apple mobile device service' and uninstall that. THen plug your iPad in and it should reinstall.
    If that doesn't work, go back into the control panel but uninstall iTunes, and apple mobile device service and apple application support, then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if that gets your drivers fixed.
    Another way to do that is go right click on 'my computer' 'properties' and go to 'device manager'
    plug your iPad in and do you see it show up in the list? YOu may need to click some of those little plus signs to open up the lists. If you see your iPad, right click on the name and you should see an option to update the driver.
