I need to install acrobat pro 9 and acrobat reader DC on same computer. (Windows 11)

With acrobat pro 9 installed and I try to install reader DC it wants to remove acrobat 9 pro.

I have also tried installing Reader DC first then installing acrobat 9 pro but it wants to remove reader DC.

 

I had both installed on my Win 10 computer but I can't seem to do it with the new one.

Please tell me how I can install both of them.

Acrobat 9 by itself is not compatible with Windows 11, so having both it and Reader DC is likely not going to be possible at all.

It IS possible to have Acrobat Pro 9 on Windows 11 as I have it loaded onto mine and it works. However, if you have Acrobat Reader on the same machine the two systems disrupt each other and Pro will not work. Seems like a deliberate strategy of Adobe to steer people towards paying an annual fee rather than a one-off as in earlier years.

@lee_0904 Curious, why would you want Acrobat Reader if your have Acrobat Pro. Pro trumps the free version by a long shot!
