Adobe Acrobat 8 Serial number!!

This is difficult and the advice on the internet is generally wrong. I comment on Acrobat 8.0 professional.

You can use a product key tracer such as Magical Jelly Bean keyfinder to locate a serial number which can be found in the registry (as described below) but it is not the original serial number required to instal the package. That original serial number is revealed in Acrobat, using Help/About but unfortunately the final set of 4 numbers is missing so it cannot be re-used. This original serial number is not obviously stored in the registry. I have not tested it but I would imagine that the original serial number (either in full or less the final 4 numbers) is keyed against the serial stored in the registry.

It’s is an interesting question whether the original serial number, wherever that is stored, is stored in full or just in the truncated version.


DEMONSTRATION

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional demonstration using a keygen to create some numbers (purely for the purposes of this demonstration as I do not use cracked software).

(1) If Acrobat 8.1.0 is installed as a trial and started up, then the help/about screen shows the following initial s/n

s/n: 1118-1026-1991-6785-6042

It can then be activated if the serial number is at hand and a connection can be made to Adobe.

(2) A typical number sequence is as follows:

s/n: 1118-1737-9103-4720-4649-9300 (original code generated for demonstration purposes by a keygen but properly found on the Adobe product box)

This will be recognised as an upgrade and a serial no for an earlier version will be requested.

earlier s/no: 1118-1215-1504-8698-6237-8192 (acrobat 7)

Activation fails (because this is not a proper Adobe code) but the activation process does continue with an activation number revealed on the next screen which asks for an authorisation code. A different activation no is generated on a second install off the same original serial no and therefore a different authorisation code.

activation no: 2457-1144-4650-8883-4985-6934-4319 (machine no 1)
authorisation code: 6156-5675-2832-2828-1628-4319 (machine no 1)

authorisation code: 5242 9384 7374 6960 6438 4319 (machine no 2)
activation no: 2149-0172-3973-7258-6693-6358-4319 (machine no 2)

(3) This will then place a quite different serial no into the registry and it is this number which is extracted by Magical Jelly Bean. An example might be

Registry SERIAL machine no 1) 970787593348173842241808
Registry SERIAL (machine no 2) 970788101273379551217690

Firing up registry editor will reveal that this is stored in the following keys:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\8.0\Registration
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Registration
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Repair\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\IOD

Now after activation is successfully completed, using Help/About only reveals the first five pairs of the original serial no.

s/n: 1118-1737-9103-4720-4649

This does not appear to be stored in the registry unless it is there in some scrambled form.

Firstly, in my laptop, i had Adobe reader. so thats how i started!

1) i install the (Acrobat 8.0 professional), as a TRIAL.When it asked me the serial number, i open the crack folder, to generate the keygen.
I pushed the button (geneate serial), and it gave me to serials, i tried which one is accepted by the programme. Then i close all the progammes.

2) after i went to windows (START, PROGRAMS) and i found the Adobe acrobat 8 proffesional. i oppened it and i continued to complete the FULL installation.
I choose (OTHER ACTIVATION OPTION, and i also choose TELEPHONE ACTIVATION). there i can see a pop up window, that shows me all the informations and serial numbers that i have inserted before, and i also see an (activation code) that internet have also put automatically.
Now the programe ask me to put the (AUTHORIZATION CODE).

3) i copied the above activation code that was automatically insert by the internet, and paste it in the keygen, i push the button (ACTIVATE) and the new number that i see now, i paste it in the (authorization code), and ITS SUCCESFULLY DONE!!! ;-)

I cannot activate my acrobat 8 professional.
let me know how to activate it.The authorization code is not working.

S.No.: 1118-1859-7129-5646-4187-8379
Activation No.: 4167-3746-1959-4404-7837-1622-5855

If it is an Adobe Acrobat which allows you to edit documents then, you had a trial version and you need a serial number to use it. Try to download a free reader which will work with no problems, from the link: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html . This is free and you won't have any more problems.
