Hi All, 

 

So i work for a company and they have a DVD of acrobat 9 standard with a lot of licenses and im trying to find a better way to distribute these to employees for installation. Currently we have to physically mail the dvd out, have the employee install with the provided serial number and then ship it back, this can take a lot of timer per employee. When i download the acrobat 9 standard installer it says serial is invalid and after some research appears that the serial is only valid with the DVD(not sure if specific to that DVD). So what im wondering is is there anyway to circumvent having to use the DVD and be able to send the employees a link to download the installer rather than waiting for the physical DVD to arrive?

Eek! Are you aware just how old this software is (14 years ago), how many issues you might find with current versions of Windows, and how many unfixed critical security vulnerabilities there are (does your company have a policy on that - suggest checking)...

Anyway, Adobe no longer offer a download of unsupported old versions. Today, it seems possible to activate Acrobat 9, but Adobe have actually said it Cs4 cannot be activated - which includes Acrobat 9. Don't be surprised if installs stop working any day, with no comeback.
