I have Adobe Systems - Adobe Acrobat X Pro on an years old computer.
I have uninstalled it on that computer and now I am trying to install it on new laptop, activate it.
It throws error and takes me to trial mode.

How do I do this?

You can't activate this old version. It's unusable, I'm afraid.

@vipzon first of all, Adobe Acrobat X Pro came out on November 15, 2010. Its support officially ended on November 15, 2015.

This means that as of July 2025, it has been over 9 years since Adobe ceased providing technical support, updates, or security patches for Acrobat X Pro. Nine years ago. Could this be installed on a new computer? Probably not on a Windows 11 — and it did, I would worry about potential security issues!

Chances are you will need to upgrade to the subscription mode. If you are just viewing the PDFs, then just get the free Acrobat Reader; if you do more, than consider getting the Standard or Pro

I was hoping to continue accepting the risks instlaling it on Win 11.
I have very minimal specific needs - rarely use it say once/twice a month.

Is there a way to do it?
Currently I am getting "This serial number is not valid for this product"
I have ran Belarc and compared the results with my records - and I am using the the same key (on old computer and new one).
