Find Adobe Acrobat XI standard product key

[deacon_fehr]

Hello. I'm the new IT Coordinator at my company, and I'm trying to perform a Software Audit. The older IT staff kept zero documentation on the software they had installed on our PC's. I'm able to acquire the product key of our Adobe version X and down by means of the registry; however, version XI doesn't seem to have the product key there. Is there anyplace on a PC to find this information?  The cache.db file doesn't contain this information either.

you can get that (and much more) using Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration informati...

That's very true; however, it's not for commercial use which this would be, so I cannot use it.

"The Belarc Advisor is licensed for personal use only and is not permitted to be used for any commercial or government purposes. "

why don't you write to them.

To Belarc?

yes, they want commercial users to buy their (belarc) products but there is no commercial version of belarc advisor (that i can see) so i thought they would give you permission to use it or inform you that there is a commercial product that does the same thing.

I will look into that. I was hoping to not require the use of third party software so if there are any additional suggestions toward that I would appreciate it.

i don't know of any other way to recover adobe serial numbers from pcs.

if adobe software was purchased and downloaded from or registered with adobe, serial numbers may be available from adobe.com
