I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI running on a Windows XP machine but it has stopped working stating that there is a license issue.  Subscription payments of over £15 per month have been taken from my account.  I know that XP is no longer supported but I need to keep it on the PC for other software compatability issues of legacy systems.  Can you confirm that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI should continue to work on a XP box, albeit without support

you have 3 ways to recover a serial number that you once had:

1. if you purchased from or registered with adobe (automatically done with cs6):,

    a. you can check your account, https://accounts.adobe.com

    b. you can check with adobe support* (be prepared to give the email address used when registering purchasing)

2. if your adobe program is installed on another computer you can recover its serial number from that computer, (win:) http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html, (mac:)  https://mac-product-key-finder.com/
