Hello everyone here at the company we have two certificates for purchasing Adobe Pro X licenses. However, there is a difference in the name of the license, one of them is called Acrobat Professional 10.0 WIN AOO License P (6 units) and the other is called Acrobat Professional 10.0 WIN Upgrade License P PRO-PRO (15 units). What is the difference between these licenses? Can I add up the quantities and assume we have 21 Adobe Pro X licenses?

No, it's not the same thing. The former is Adobe Open Options, which is the umbrella name of Adobe's volume licensing model. So you have 6 seats for that. The latter is an upgrade license, which means you can't use it on its own. You must have a previous full version installed (or have its serial number) when you use it. Without a previous (qualifying) product you can't use those licenses.

 

Be advised that Acrobat X is outdated, though, and not supported by Adobe at all any longer.
