Trying to re-install Acrobat Pro 8 on new computer - installed OK, but won't activate.

Hi,

I've got a new Win 10 Home laptop and need to run my old Acrobat 8 Pro on it. The software installed fine and runs fine, legit software and serial number, but the activation won't work. It's on the 30 day countdown. Is there any way to get this software that I've bought and paid for to run on my new laptop? Won't activate over the Internet, no longer any telephone activation support - etc. 

Anyone have any ideas? 

Thanks much,

Bill

Sadly, no. Adobe discontinued the activation servers a while ago and recently removed the non-activation installer from their public website. I recommend you contact them directly and complain about this situation you (and many others) are in because of those actions.
