Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

Good day,

 

I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro from you a few years back and I’ve recently replaced my PC and tried to install Acrobat XI Pro, but it gives me an error saying that the license has been revoked. 

 

I deleted the program from my old PC because I thought that it would be too many devices using the same product with the same serial number.  I have it on one other device and I understand that I can use it on two devices – just not at the same time – which is how I have always used Acrobat XI Pro since I purchased it without any problems. 

 

Please help me sort this out. 

 

Thank you.

    Hi!

     

    This is an update on my original post.  It appears that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is not compatible with Windows 11.  The only way forward was to subscribe to Adobe Acrobat, which I've done.  I'm still going to activate it on my PC and hopefully everything will work smoothly from now on.

     

    Thank you for your help!

     

    Have a great day!

    I am determined not to incure anymore monthly fees. There are way too many and I deactivating them. My laptop, where I had installed my Pro 11, has died. (Yes, I bought it directly from 

    Adobe) (New laptop is Windows11) I don't have the serial number. I'm OK with purchasing another version of Acrobat but I am NOT paying a monthly fee. Is there a version of Acrobat, I can purchase, that doesn't have a monthly fee?

    if you purchased acrobat xi pro from a non-authorized vendor, you probably were scammed (esp if you paid an obviously low price), http://adobedealreg.force.com/PartnerSearch?lang=en

    That's the best option in your case. Check in your account, if the serial is not stored in that account. https://account.adobe.com

     

    Now, it still could be that you serial number has been used on more than 2 computers, or that it got traded on the black market.

    Hi Jane,

     

    Thank you for your reply.

     

    I typed "agent" in the chat window and answered all the questions after that but was informed that they can't assist because Acrobat XI Pro is no longer supported.  I was hoping someone here has had the same problem and could help....

    That's unfortunately the standard answer. In general, however, Adobe still gives limited support with activation problems, as long as the activation servers are online. Try again.

     

    Sorry, that's all we can do for you.
