upgrade acrobat 6 professional to 8 on Windows 2000 Terminal Services

Thanks for the responses and tips.

To wrap up what I did. I uninstalled the existing version and related updates and Adobe Flash as well. I didn't delete the existing Adobe program folders however concerned that the new version would want to see the old to install properly. The new one figured out through its licensing that we had a previous version - otherwise the CD looked like the regular full version. I then had to enter both my new serial number and old and everything worked.

One minor side note that I will post elsewhere. One of the reasons we upgraded our Adobe was that there were a few sites that would not open and troubleshooting with regmon and filemon indicated Adobe problems. After installing the new version the problem persisted at which point we dug a little further and discovered that a program called TimeMatters had installed a couple of plugins to IE 6 including an Adobe plugin. Once we removed that plugin we were able to access the sites we previously could not access.

>Would I have to leave the old one in place so the new one can 'upgrade' it?

You can use previous media verification. Or leave 6 on and let 8 take care of the removal.

Thanks for the quick reply. One more question. I noticed that the package I have is Adobe 8 Professional Upgrade. Have you had experience with it? Would I have to leave the old one in place so the new one can 'upgrade' it?

Your time on this is appreciated in advance.

1) I would uninstall first

2) Only one update, and I would install it.
