    Ah, I see it's the educational license program. That's a kind of volume licensing, but I don't know whether it uses the retail download. I would expect it to still require you to use the licensing portal. However, this needs to be answered by someone familiar with how that program works. In the mean time, I note that this is CLP, one of four available educational license programs. In the mean time here is the CLP manual http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/buying-programs/pdfs/clp-program-guide-en.pdf  . It seems you should have access to a licensing web site.

    Cheers,

    I have looked on the licensing site and it only has one windows key and one Mac key. Would you have an email address for someone who may be able to assist further?

    Ok, that is the right download for Acrobat 2017 retail. But did you say you purchased 2 separate seats? At retail they would always have separate license keys. So if there is the same, you have a volume license, and must download the volume license software from your Licensing Portal.
