Recover Perpetual Licenses

Hello,

I have two old perpetual licenses, one for AcrobatPro DC and one for Acrobat Pro X.

I tried installing Acrobat Pro DC on my PC and activate it but when I enter the license number it said not valid. Tried with different versions of DC with the same result.

 

How can I verify what's the correct version I need to use with my license number?

I also tried registering it on my account and got a message saying it was already used.

 

I used this license in the past and stoped using it when I got a suscription through my work, but now it was cancellled and I would like to have at least an older version of Acrobat.

 

How do I recover my old DC or X licenses?

 

Thanks.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
