I would like to purchase the serial # for Adobe Acrobat DC, not the subscription. Please help.

Question

How do I purchase the serial number for Acrobat DC after (or during) the 30 day free trial?

Here's how you can get the perpetual license version of Acrobat DC, instead of a subscription. Note that there are functional differences between the two versions, though. Adobe only seems to update the subscription version with new features. The other version only gets security updates and some bug fixes.

Anyway, here are the instructions:

Go to the Adobe Products Page: https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html

Click on the Buy button next to Acrobat Pro DC, and then change the "I want to buy" option to "Full" (or "Upgrade" if you have a qualifying earlier version).

Then select the other options and click on Add To Cart, and proceed to checkout. You'll get a full license, not a time-based subscription.

Once you have purchased, as it is an older version without tabs etc. you must uninstall, and install the purchased version instead. It will ask for serial.
