I need to reinstall Acrobat 9 Standard on a new laptop (old one died, program was originally purchased as a download) but the only "Older Product" that is available for download is the 9 Pro version (which of course does not recognize my serial number). Is there a link to download Acrobat 9 Standard?

    After re-installing (due to hard drive crash) Acrobat Standard 9 I am getting the following error after installing my serial number.  I don't have any serial numbers for the products listed?

    when starting your installation your prompted for your acrobat 9 serial number.  when the installer fails to find a qualifying product (ie, previous version) installed, you will be presented with a dropdown of possible qualifying products.  select the one you own.  you will then be asked to enter the qualifying products serial number.

    enter the correct number at the correct time and installation will proceed.

    if you don't have a qualifying version serial number, you can't install the upgrade.

    in addition, if you have an incompatible os (ie, anything from the past few years), you can expect problems.

    Download and installation help for Adobe links

    Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages.  They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3.  If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

    Thanks for the comeback but I am puzzled about one thing...why do I have to download a trail version of Lightroom, a program I do not need? Is this necessary just to reinstall Adobe 9 Standard that I had purchased 4 years ago?

    you don't need to download lightroom.  you just need to get that adobe.com cookie by starting a download.  follow the directions and you'll see that you cancel the download.
