Unopened Acrobat Standard 2017 forces us to sign-in and unregister other product

[memememe,m]

Installed Acrobat Standard 2017 out of the shrinkwrapped box. Used our single Adobe account to try to register it. Despite using the serial, it tells me I'm only allowed to have 2 installations (of previously shrinkwrapped product) at one time. My only option (because who would be signed in to product I just opened the box for?) was to 'unregister' whatever other versions they thought we had.

We are a corporation. We use one account for all things including our CC licensing console. Going forward, we will be doing the CC/DC online licensing.

I understand that I can't unify our existing product going forward to the new licensing management system, but I'm afraid that limitations in the system will prevent us from moving forward with thousands of dollars in Adobe products that we should be able to use and uninstall, unassign and repurpose for years to come.

I did chat with a CS agent. His only suggestion was to register it with an other Adobe ID. we can't manage boxed software registered to individual users.

As a corporation it's essential to use volume licensing rather than the single user Adobe ID, for which the individual end user will need the password. Don't use retail software licenses.

What's done is done. We own a lot of boxed product. Thank you for telling me we should have done something different, but we didn't. Now we need to make it work.

Then you need to find a way to manage the unique Adobe ID that each product will need, and to which each user will need the password.
