I want to use acrobat on two laptops without signing out of one to use the other as DC requires. I have two prior acrobat 9 licenses.  I want to know if I can download an acrobat 9 and activate it using one of my existing serial numbers that are on my adobe account.

    -you will need to enter your original serial number during install for non-Cloud programs

    As long as you have not used both activations for a serial number, your only problem MAY be installing that old program on Win10

    Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10

    -RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window

    -or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL Windows permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)
