Computer went the way of the Dodo, I would appreciate a link to re-download a copy of Lifecycle.  WIN10 64 Bit if needed for correct install.

Thanks,

Craig

What happened to the copy you downloaded with the link provided to you from Adobe a few years ago?

You do backup your computers, don't you? 

Adobe LiveCyle Designer has been fully discontinued and is no longer available for download at all. You may try calling Adobe Customer Care and see if they might be willing to give you a license for Adobe Experience Manager Forms instead. This new product does have a compatibility mode that can open and process existing XFA forms previously supported by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

I used to wonder why Adobe included Livecycle Designer with Acrobat Pro... because I didn't really grasp what the product did.  Then I learned a bit about it, used it from time to time when it was the right solution, and now miss the product!  I wish I still had it installed.

And while the topic of LiveCycle Designer is here, does anyone know if a legacy version of the software (I probably have an old AcroPro install CD somewhere) will run on a modern Windows machine?

My best,

Dave

Did it come with Acrobat, or did you buy it separately? If it came with Acrobat, reinstall it. If you purchased it separately you probably need to find your original install.

It was not available except by direct Link, it was a freebie when

Acrobat DC was purchased (several years ago).  Adobe furnished a Link

for Download when requested.
