Is my Acrobat X 32-bit completely redundant?

[simonokeeffe]

I have a 64-bit laptop. I had to reinstall Windows, so I had to reinstall my Acrobat X product. I did that last in 2018 or 2020. This time, when I tried to reinstall my Acrobat X product, I could find only 32-bit downloads for Acrobat X. Is there any way I can get my trusty old friend, Acrobat X to work on my 64-bit machine?

Acrobat X (10.0) was released in 2010 and reached end of support in 2015. It is a 32 bit application. I've moved your post from Using the Community to the Acrobat forum for you in case someone knows of a workaround.

You can no longer activate Acrobat X, so yes, it's pretty much impossible to install it on a new machine, even if it would have worked there.

Well, that's that then. Thanks for letting me know. Pretty much as expected. Those with the power like Adobe screw ordinary Joes like me who paid good money for a perpetual license.

You can continue using Acrobat X on the same computer with the same OS. What you can't do is activate a 15-year-old application on a new computer because the activation servers have been shut down.
