Mein Laptop ist veraltet. Deshalb möchte ich Acrobat 7.0 Pro auf dem neuen Laptop installieren. Die Aktivierung per Internet oder Telefon wird nicht mehr unterstützt.
Wie kann ich jetzt die Aktivierung vornehmen?
Wie komme ich an den Autorisierungscode?
Im voraus besten Dank.

Correct answer Dov Isaacs

If you have a new system, by definition it is running Windows 10.

 

Acrobat 7 will neither fully nor properly install on Windows 10 (even if the installation completes without an error message). And if you can coerce it to run, it will neither properly complete all functions nor integrate with modern day versions of Microsoft Office. Acrobat 7 only properly installed and ran on Windows 2000 and 32-bit Windows XP.

 

And as you have found out, there is no way to currently activate the software.

Why?

I bought a license which is not limited in time!

Adobe discontinued the activation servers so in effect you can no longer use it, unless it's already activated.
I understand your frustration and tend to agree with it, but that's just the way it is.

I don't work for Adobe, by the way.

You can't. It's time to get a new version.
