I have a large heavy 17-inch screen laptop in my office.  I'd like to get a smaller laptop for travel use and leave the big laptop in the office.  At the same time, I need Adobe Pro (11.0.19) to be available on both.  Can the existing Adobe Pro program be shared with a new laptop and maintain full functionality on both without having to purchase another copy of Adobe Pro?

The Adobe license allows 2 activations on 1 serial number

You install programs exactly the same way you did the 1st time... put your disc in the drive and enter your serial number when asked

I reply to this old post.

 

I have same issue but..

Hi have Acrobat Pro11 Installed in my laptop. I bought it in 2014.

Now I have to transfer it in my new laptop.

I created an adobe account and I installed Creative Cloud, but I cannot find my Acrobat Pro XI into my products. I do not have the serial number anymore, I have not any disc and it is impossible to retreive it (also using AdobeExpiryCheck.exe), so I cannot register the product into my Adobe account.

How can I move it and use it in my new laptop?

Any suggestions?
