    Acrobat 2020 is End of Life & no longer supported. Adobe can’t help you with that.

    For security reasons, you should be using a supported Acrobat version, either free or paid. 

    Hope that helps.

    @Benny33501726v5e6 

     

    regarding your revoked serial number:

     

    1. there’s no official adobe support for acrobat 2020.
    2. when are where did you purchase acrobat 2020?

     

     

    and one of your screenshots* isn’t related to activating adobe app.  it looks like you’re trying to fill out and pdf form and should be using adobe reader.

    Possibly due to a geolocation block. 

     

    Adobe outright blocks access to its core products & services in China. Additionally, Adobe completely blocks all access to services and products in embargoed countries including Iran, Syria, and North Korea to comply with U.S. trade restrictions. 

     

    There is nothing anyone can do while a geolocation block is in effect.

    Ask why your serial number was revoked

    Your purchase wasn't detected. If you've made your purchase, please try sign-out and sign-in
    again in Adobe Acrobat.
