Where can I purchase (and not subscribe to) Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO (or 10, or 11) with a permanent license for desktop? i.e. one-time purchase, no online version, no subscription, no "DC" version. On my old laptop I have Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO Version 9.5.5 which I unfortunately cannot transfer to my new laptop due to loosing the serial number / license key. Please help! I am going crazy...

    Try these instructions. If it doesn't work, let us know where you got stuck.

    Go to the Adobe Products Page: https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html and search for "Acrobat".

    Click on the Buy button next to Acrobat Pro 2017, and then change the "I want to buy" option to "Full License" (or "License Upgrade" if you have a qualifying earlier version).

    Then select the other options and click on Add To Cart, and proceed to checkout. You'll get a full license, not a time-based subscription.

    You can get a perpetual license for Acrobat DC, but you can't get any previous versions, at least not from Adobe.

    If you're interested I can post instructions on how to do it.

        - page has links to programs to find an installed serial number in Mac or Windows

        - includes link to your Adobe account to check for registered serial numbers

        - when you find your serial number(s) write them down and put in a desk drawer

        Thanks John, but that doesn't solve my problem. I did that, have the correct serial number, but it doesn't work. (Most probably due to the software being originally licensed by my employer, to whom I am no longer associated.) I need to buy a new license together with an offline software...
