Hello @winsteaa1

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out. We're sorry for the trouble you had.

Could you please share more details about the issue?

The answer depends on whether you mean your own computers or a whole organisation, so here is both.

If this is your personal subscription (which of my own machines is it on):

Sign in at https://adobe.ly/4wju3Vm (or go to https://adobe.ly/4xrvG4y > Plans and payment > Activated devices). That page lists the computers your account is currently activated on and lets you deactivate any of them.

If you are an IT admin managing licences for an organisation (Teams/Enterprise):

The Adobe Admin Console (https://adobe.ly/4xUeuoH) shows which users are assigned an Acrobat Pro licence, that is, entitlement, not which specific computers have it installed.

So to find which computers actually have Acrobat Pro installed across your fleet, use your device-management / software-inventory tooling: Microsoft Intune or Configuration Manager (SCCM) on Windows, or Jamf on Mac. Those report installed applications per machine, which is exactly the "what computers have it" list.

For more details, you can also refer to these articles:

I hope this helps, and please reach out if you need any assistance.

I went to the link you provided and it says I have no activated products on my account yet when I try to use acrobat pro to combine files, it tells me to deactivate another computer or get a new license. How can I get this to work? Thank you.

Hello @adrianw5717111

I hope you are doing well, and sorry for the trouble.

We checked and verified the Adobe ID that you have used to log in to the community, and see that a perpetual license of Acrobat 11 is associated with it. To check and find the serial number, please refer to this help article: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/apps/licensing-activation/serial-number-redemption-code/find-serial-number.html

Also, please note that Acrobat 11 is an end-of-support product.

There isn’t much that can be done with this, as activation servers are no longer available. The recommendation is that you update to the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat Reader. By updating installations to the latest versions, you benefit from the latest functional enhancements and improved security measures.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Anand Sri.

I went to the page you provided and it shows my activation code registered and I have it on one computer that works. I want to add it to work on my laptop but it keeps telling me to deactivate it on another computer or buy a new license code. How can I find which computer it shows so I can deactivate it? They do not allow you to buy the product now and you must get a subscription. I don’t use it that much to need a subscription. I just want to use it when I need it on my laptop. Is this not possible and I paid $119 for the license code when I bought it. It doesn’t seen right that I paid for something I can no longer use.
