Earlier this year I purchased 2 3-year term Acrobat Classic licenses.  Now through work I have a Pro monthly sub.  

 

I'm trying to install those 3-year term classic licenses on other computers but I can't figure out how to do so.  I signed out of classic on my machine but when I try to use the redemption key it says it has been used already.

Who did you purchase from? 

If it was Adobe, see below for your product's serial number.

you need to deactivate the licenses on computers that you don't want to use and install and activate in computers where you do want to use.

because there are so many pitfalls, leave well-enough alone would be good advice.
