Purchasing Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO or X or XI Permanent license

[Moggypop]

Where can I purchase (and not subscribe to) Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO (or 10, or 11) with a permanent license for desktop? i.e. one-time purchase, no online version, no subscription, no "DC" version. On my old laptop I have Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO Version 9.5.5 which I unfortunately cannot transfer to my new laptop due to loosing the serial number / license key. Please help! I am going crazy...

- page has links to programs to find an installed serial number in Mac or Windows

- includes link to your Adobe account to check for registered serial numbers

- when you find your serial number(s) write them down and put in a desk drawer

Thanks John, but that doesn't solve my problem. I did that, have the correct serial number, but it doesn't work. (Most probably due to the software being originally licensed by my employer, to whom I am no longer associated.) I need to buy a new license together with an offline software...

Only current version DC is available. Subscription or permanent license.

You can get a perpetual license for Acrobat DC, but you can't get any previous versions, at least not from Adobe.

If you're interested I can post instructions on how to do it.

Hi try67, yes, I am interested. If you will, please post the instructions on how to do it. Thanks!

Go to the Adobe Products Page: https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html

Click on the Buy button next to Acrobat Pro DC, and then change the "I want to buy" option to "Full" (or "Upgrade" if you have a qualifying earlier version).

Then select the other options and click on Add To Cart, and proceed to checkout. You'll get a full license, not a time-based subscription.

Thank you try67! Seldom do you get such helpful information that also works in the end!

Hi, this option is not available, only subscription model is offered.

[try67]

Not true. Using the link I provided above you can still purchase a perpetual license for Acrobat Pro/Standard 2017, which is the current version.

[mozespilgrim]

I just tried again and you are right, the option is there now, possibly it was not showing while I was logged in with Adobe account and when I used different browser it showed up. Strange. Thanks!

Hi try67, can you please check if the option you described is still available (and it's only me not seeing it) or it's over in 2018? Thanks!

[try67]

I believe it's still available. You need to select Acrobat 2017 (or whatever they're calling it now), instead of Acrobat DC, though.

[chsmarcelo]

please do

[try67]

I already did... See my last reply to this thread.

Depends on your country.

Try these instructions. If it doesn't work, let us know where you got stuck.

Go to the Adobe Products Page: https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html and search for "Acrobat".

Click on the Buy button next to Acrobat Pro 2017, and then change the "I want to buy" option to "Full License" (or "License Upgrade" if you have a qualifying earlier version).

Then select the other options and click on Add To Cart, and proceed to checkout. You'll get a full license, not a time-based subscription.
