Hello,

 

We have a licensed version of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and while transferring software from my old to the new laptop after installation when we launch software it is freeze.

 

Please advise. Thanks.

    Acrobat 8 is 11 years old, discontinued, outdated & unsupported.   The activation servers were retired years ago.  There is no possible way to activate it anymore.

     

    For security reasons you should be using modern software.

    I have purchased a new laptop hence I have uninstalled the software from an old laptop and installed again on a new laptop and after complete installation when we start the software we are facing with the problem informed in my earlier message.
