Hello!
I hope you are doing well. Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry for the trouble you had with the activation.
Please make sure you're using the official Acrobat 2020 Pro installer that matches your serial number: Download Acrobat 2020 from the official website: https://adobe.ly/4iZh4Si
Uninstall any existing Adobe Acrobat versions, and use the Acrobat Cleaner tool to remove the installed version.
Restart the system
Install Acrobat 2020.
After installation:
Launch Acrobat
Enter your serial number when prompted
(Ensure it’s a 24-digit serial number for Acrobat 2020 and not a redemption code.)

That sounds frustrating. I've seen similar issues come up when transferring older Adobe licenses to new machines. You might want to check if the license is still active under your Adobe account or contact Adobe support to deactivate it on the old computer. Also, a quick guide is shared on handling common software reinstallation problems . Hope it helps.
