Question

Acrobat Licensing Application Freezing - Tahoe OS

So i just upgraded to a new imac.   All of my files successfully transferred from my old mac to my new one, with one exception - Acrobat Professional 2000.

 

Now i was successfully using this (on Tahoe) on my older imac - but when i attempt to run it, it asks me to run the licensing, and it freezes.

 

I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled it - and still get the same glitch.

 

Any suggestions?

did you properly install acrobat 2000 or did you transfer eg, using time-machine or some other transfer app?

Initially I used the time capsule install.  When that didn't work, I fully deleted the program (follow adobes instructions on how to complete a full uninstall), rebooted the computer and did a fresh install.

 

Neither method was successful - same frozen dialogue

Hi @JeffSPHR,


Sorry for the troubled experience. 
Try using the Acrobat cleaner tool: https://adobe.ly/3MtGnRX to uninstall if you haven't tried already. Try then reinstalling Acrobat. 

What is the exact version of Acrobat you have? Do you have a subscription or a serial number(please don't share serial number)?
