Correct answer John Waller

Acrobat 8 is four versions behind DC. The installer for version 8 is different to the installer for DC.

Adobe Acrobat version history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you went to the Adobe website and downloaded Acrobat, you'll always get the latest version. It will install as a trial version until you pay for it and get a separate DC serial number.

If you simply want to reinstall your paid-for version 8 then use the link provided by Ned above to download the installer for version 8.
