Hi

Hope this is the correct forum i am posting this.

I have a user,with a problem concerning a Acrobat Pro license.
It keeps showing that it is a trial version that the user is using but I have issued a Acrobat Pro license from adobe admin console.

I have tried the following:
1. I removed the user from Adobe admin console both license and user
2. I have uninstalled Acrobat Pro on the users laptop
3. I logged the user out of adobe.com
4. I waited the weekend over
5. I created the user again and assigned a license
6. I installed Acrobat Pro based on the email that came from Adobe to the user and it still shows it as a trial version
What am I doing wrong?
Hope you can help
Thanks in advance

It didn't work though, I fixed the problem by changing the users laptop to a new one

That's like my second suggestion. Same user different computer.

It's probably not the user, but the computer. 

I would do the following tests:

  • having a different user with an Acrobat licence logging into the laptop, and activating Acrobat.
  • having the user loging into a different computer and activating Acrobat.
