Unable to activate adobe 8.0 on VISTA/Word snap

A few months ago, my vista software locked up, once again. I was running Outlook, word, and adobe 8.0 at the time. Did a hard reset and for what reason the Word program disabled the Adobe application. Trying to activate the ' disabled 'add-in' application I get a pop up window that says "This add-in is installed for all users on this computer and may be connected or disconnected by an administrator." "

I signed up as an administrator. Grrr. So now what?

  • Unable to activate Adobe 9 on a second PC

    Hello

    Adobe 9 has been installed on a PC (PC1), which was crushed, I was never able to deactivate the license. I reinstalled Adobe 9 on a second PC (PC2) without any problem in November 2012. Now, I need to install it on a 3rd PC (PC3). I disabled my license on the PC2, but when I paste and copy it to PC3, I get an error message saying "serial number" not valid.

    What should I do?

    Thank you very much!

    Nathalie

    Hi Nathalie,.

    Please make sure you use the right serial number for the correct version of the software. The serial No. Acrobat 9 Pro and Standard is different.

    In the case where it is correct, then please follow the steps mentioned in the Doc KB: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-invalid-serial-number-acrobat.html

  • Unable to activate Adobe Acrobat Professional 10

    I am the Technical Director of it for a large organization.  We bought licenses in bulk of Adobe products for years and recently we encountered the problem that our VICTORY for Adobe Pro 10 serial number is no longer valid.  Typically, if one of our computers has problems, we reimage and reinstall the 'special' software like Acrobat.  Adobe assumes that we install more computers we have licenses for.  What is the reference for this?  Personally, I manage the control of licenses and know that we have not exceeded the number of active facilities of all Adobe products.

    Hi Michael,

    I apologize for your frustration!

    A few questions so I can help...

    Recent how was your last purchase in bulk?

    The dealer send you Informaion on how to contact the support for large organizations like yours?

    When you reimage - you deactivate the license so it can be reinstalled without him appearing as a duplicate?

    Impatience back on your part!

    Best regards, Stacy

    We have licensed version of Adobe CS6, but when we start it displays error maximum Activations exceeded, we are unable to activate creative cloud. @

    Amitabh, according to the details of your account, you already have your subscription activated on 2 machines and it is the reason why you receive error "Maximum Activations exceeded."

    I have disabled both your machines from our end. I suggest you to reactivate these machines now using the same identification code Adobe & password and check if they work fine now.

    Let me know if you still get the same error.

  • I m unable to activate windows after formatting my pc 8?

    I upgarded windows 7 to windows 8 I bought from microsoft.

    Please help if anyone know the solution.
    I tried activation by telephone, but he always says "IT MUST BE A MISTAKE TECHNIQUE".
    Help, please...

    To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

    If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

    The bulk of this article applies to Windows 7, too:

    A description of the differences between 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and 64 bit versions of Windows Vista:
         http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946765

    You have 2 two versions of Internet explore 8 (IE8), 64-bit IE8 and IE8 32 bit. IE8 64-bit is the default value.

    It is not a 64-bit version of Flash Player (at least not yet). While IE8 64 bit is your default browser, Flash contentshould open in IE8 32 bit. If you know any page contained Flash (or dependent on one or more ActiveX controls), open an instance of IE8 32 bit to access the page.

    IE64-bit is a "level 2" browser Flash and ActiveX controls are supported in browsers 'level 1' (e.g., IE 32 bits). Seelevels of browser support on this somewhat linked page: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526.aspx#section2

    You should familiarize yourself with this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

    The following is based on a related post from my colleague MVP Don Varnau aboutFlash & IE8 32 bit:

    The executable file for IE8 32 bit can be found here:

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

    The executable for IE8 64 bit can be found here:

    C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe

    Browse to the appropriate Program Files folder and create a shortcut to this version ofiexplore.exe
    - - -
    Then using IE8 32 bit:

    1. download and save to the desktop, the Flash Player uninstaller
    http://download.Macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/Current/uninstall_flash_player.exe

    2. download and save to the desktop, the Flash Player installer
    http://www.Macromedia.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie
    - - -
    Then...
    Right click on the uninstall program, and then select run as administrator of
    Reset.
    Right click on the installer, unzip it and select run as administrator
    Reset.
    - - -
    Then...
    Make sure IE8 32-bit is the default open.

    When you right-click on the icons of IE in the quick launch area, the Start Menu and the desktop, then click Properties, which is in the target field?

    (From a previous post by Peter Csaszar... version)

    Targets should be either:
    IE8 32 bit "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
    IE8 64-bit "C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe"

    Change these objectives to be "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet ' (including the quotes) and IE8 32 bit should open by default

    To create a shortcut to IE8 64 bit for occasional use, navigate to the file iexplore.exe inC:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe. Right-click iexplore.exe , and then select send to. Desktop (create shortcut). Rename this shortcut so that you know this is the shortcut for IE8 64 bit.

    To make sure IE8 32-bit is the default, try this link http://www.Microsoft.com. When the browser opens lookhelp | About Internet Explorer. If there is no mention of 64-bit, 32-bit is the default value. If you have disabled the Menu bar, you will need to right click on the IE toolbar and put a controlmenu bar to have help available (or simply press ALT to move focus to themenu bar temporarily).

  • Error message:-during the Installation of Adobe reader on Windows Vista

    When I install Adobe reader on Windows vista.   I get an error message - this installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid window installation package.

    Download another copy - this copy may be impaired.  Save the download on your computer instead of just running.  When it is on the desktop, right-click on it and click Run as administrator, and see if that helps.

    Where are you downloading from?  Get it directly from the Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/.

    Which version of Vista you are running, and all updates are installed including SP2?

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
