I am really frustrated with the torturous interaction with the Adobe website. I just want help with an error generted by their nonsense.

We are a non-profit, we purchased three licences from Adobe for Acrobat XI Pro Win ESD (Int'l English).

They sent a link to the installer files. Installation all good.

Try to open the application and it asks for the license key. No worries, I have them, so I enter them, Still all good, then I click finish and it says "Something went wrong" check with your systems administrator...

I could not think of a less helpful message.

I have tried different computers, different browsers, evrything I could think of (with no idea what is wrong...)

We paid for these licenses and are stranded. I tried to get help on line but I just go in circles, it takes me to the help window then suggest chat then takes me back to the help window when I select chat.

Anybody out there have any ideas?

You just purchased those licenses? Seems odd. Was it definitely Adobe who sold them to you, today in 2021?

If they purchased it now it was definitely not Adobe that sold it to them...

Why are people focusing on "now". I didn't say or suggest any recent purchase. The issue is a legitimately purchased perpetual license is failing activation. I have Adobe licenses from many years ago that still authenticate.
