ACTIVATE ACROBAT 8 STANDARD WITHOUT INTERNET CONNECTION

[Guest]

I am trying to activate my copy of Acrobat 8 Standard on a new PC (running W7 64) following the failure of my old machine.

I have the disc and serial number, I have an Adobe ID and a university education to boot  but I cannot see a  way of activating my software as the phone activation is discontinued and despite answers by respondants to previous questions directing them to Adobe's offline activation pages I have found these don't work for Acrobate 8 as the screen shots are from a different version altogether.

Can anyone provide a definitive answer?

Try the steps mentioned in the below KB doc. for offline activation :

- Activate Adobe Acrobat offline without Internet

Thankyou for your answer but Iv'e allready tried that and it wont work with Acrobat 8.

Has anyone successfully challanged Adobe about this? Am getting seriously cheesed off with them and thinking along the lines of thowing them a County Court Summons to sit them up!

I don't think you need to activate these old applications anymore. See: Download Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9

However, this version of Acrobat is quite old and not compatible with any current operating system, so problems are to be expected.
