On how many computers am I allowed to install each registered copy of Acrobat Pro X and Acrobat XI

Correct answer Tariq Dar

Hi @map_6247

 

Thank you for reaching out. 

An obvious solution would be to deactivate one computer and activate a third one. If you need all three machines active, you can either buy another subscription or get a team license. 

 

For more information on team license, please visit this help page: https://adobe.ly/4digHkr

For anyone looking who still wants to use Acrobat to open PDF files there is a free reader version as well if you don't need to modify the PDF files on all of the computers. It has some of the same features as the Pro edition.
Adobe Acrobat Reader

Originally it said something about the forum app. When I replied to the forum it looked like I was replying to a thread but instead it did in fact make the reply to the main question.

Two systems used by a single user. In other words, it cannot be used by two different users on two computers.

Thanks. I'll check into a team license. Had a handle on deactivating one
and activating another. Still nets 2 devices.

Hello!

 

I hope you are doing well.

 

++ Adding to what was already shared by our Adobe employee, you can use your app on only one device at a time. You can sign in (activate) your account on up to two devices. For more information, see these Terms of Use. You can also refer to this article to learn more about installing and activating Adobe apps on another machine.

 

I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
