Adobe Acrobat DC 2015 License issue

Community Beginner ,
May 03, 2024 May 03, 2024

I have a volume license for Acrobat DC 2015 that I have been using for the last 8 years.  We have it installed on approximately 40 computers and have a 50 license pack.  Adobe has verified that my serial number is active and valid, however we receieve the below pop up each time Acrobat is opened.

If I continue it fails, however I can close the pop up and continue working.  It comes back every few minutes and with each document opened.

As you have 50 licences, on how many computers did you install the licences? Did you before uninstalling, sign out the licence?

Over the years, it has been installed more than 50 times, but its currently installed on approximately 40 workstations or servers.  I never logged out when retiring a computer and it worked just fine until yesterday when we started receving this message.

I guess they found out about it and blocked you from further exceeding your seat limit. You must deactivate/log out from any computer you want to retire! Maybe there's a way to deactivate all current seats and then re-activate them, though. You'll need to ask Adobe's enterprise support about that.

I spent several hours on the phone with support.  They said the license was not blocked in their system and they do not show a count of the total activations.  Adobe enterprise support suggested I go to the forums because they are unable to assist with the older versions.  Just looking for any possible ideas to get past this message.  It seems more like a bug than an issue with the license as it shows the same number of days, 32767, which is approximately 90 years.

Sure, it may well be a bug appearing only when installing the old software on a newer (unsupported) OS. That's the risk to take.

 

To be clear, the error could have originated anywhere between your system and Adobe. What Windows are you using?

You may have hit the magic number of activations yesterday.

No new computers have been activated in several months and Adobe support confirmed the license was okay.

Any updates? I am having the same issue with Acrobat DC 2015. But I have not done any installs for this version. The user reported this issue out of the blue and getting both messages you have attached.

Unfortunately I don't have a single useful update.  I have spent several hours on the phone with support, but they are limited because the product is no longer supported.  I will make sure I update the post if I find a solution.
