Unable to Activate Adobe Acrobat Standard X or Adobe Acrobat 2017 on the Windows 10 Operating System

Since 2014 I had been using Adobe Acrobat Standard X on my HP 18 All-in-One PC 18-5107Ain which had Windows 8.1 Single Language as the 64-Bit Operating System.

 

An authorised service centre of HP in Mysore City, Karnataka State, India formatted the C drive on Saturday, January 18, 2024 as my HP 18 All-in-One PC 18-5107Ain had become slow. They have installed Windows 10 as the new Operating System.

 

I was able to download Adobe Acrobat Standard X or Adobe Acrobat 2017 from my Adobe Account.

 

But I have not been able to activate Adobe Acrobat Standard X or Adobe Acrobat 2017 on the Windows 10 Operating System despite giving the correct serial number because I have not been getting the option of Adobe Acrobat Standard X in the drop down menu whenever I am trying to upgrade!

- You have the serial number for an Upgrade version, which means you must provide another serial number for a previous, full version to be able to use it.

- Either way you won't be able to activate Acrobat X now, so this whole endeavor is pointless.

It says to Upgrade, You must Provide the Serial Number of your Previous Version. It also says Please Select your Previous Product Version and Enter its Serial Number.

 

In the Drop-Down Menu called Previous Version there is No Drop-Down Menu Option to Select Adobe Acrobat X Standard!

 

Therefore, Whenever I Choose Adobe Acrobat XI Standard as One of the Nearest Available Alternative Options in the Drop-Down Menu it says that the Serial Number provided by You is Valid but a Qualifying Product could not be found on your Computer!
