Question about Acrobat 7

I bought a copy of Acrobat 7 and used it for some time, then I didn't use it for a while, I got a new computer and wanted to install it and use it again.

It installed fine, but would not activate as the activation server was not found.

Will someone please tell me how to activate it so I can use it?

Thank you

No longer possible. Adobe retired the activation servers for older versions, unfortunately.

That is a drag.

I need to find a program to edit PDF files

I am done with Adobe, they charge a ton for a program, then shortly later they make it obsolete.

Thank you for getting back to me.

Adobe Acrobat 7 hasn't been supported since 2009. It was introduced more than 20 years ago, in 2004. 

 

If that's what you call "shortly later", I don't know what we can tell you. Windows ME is no longer supported either.
