I've got a licence for Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard running on a desktop and I'd like to get installed in my new notebook. However, when I insert the serial number there's this massage saying it's an invalid one. 

Please get in contact to help me get this done.

@John T Smith is correct in terms of the activation servers.

 

However, you should note that Acrobat 7 will not fully and properly install and be fully functional on any version of Windows beyond Windows XP (a version of Windows that hasn't been supported by Microsoft for many years) even if you could activate it!

 

Your only alternatives now are either Acrobat Standard 2020 (perpetual license) or Acrobat Standard DC (subscription).

The activation server for that very old version has been removed

 

That is now a dead product
