Adobe 8 Standard Upgrade Problem

[w8zr]

Adobe 8 now requires a new serial number and update app, in order to continue working. I followed Adobe instructions to the letter and now have been given a new serial number. However, no app was downloaded for me to install, and when I log into my Adobe account it says that the new serial number has already been registered, but the app doesn't show as available to download. So I'm at a loss what to do next. This whole procedure seems very clumsy and inefficient.

-you MUST use the special serial number AND the special installer you download, not your originals

-above includes a link to get the special version AND links to help with activation problems

Further info on my problem. I have the new replacement serial number for my original Acrobat 8, and clicked on the URL to download the new updated installer, but I get an error message saying "unavailable for download. Frankly, I've about had it with Adobe products and their buggy, complicated, nightmarish instructions.

I have the new downloader - but I don't have a new serial number - the serial number on my products page doesn't work.  How do I get a new serial number?
