Adobe Labs Downloads Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool The Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool removes a standalone installation of Reader or Acrobat, including any preferences and settings that may be preserved during a standard program uninstall. Jun 28, 2018  Activation is sign-in. The product is only activated if you are signed in to your Adobe account. This is not like the activation with Microsoft Office standalone. You don't need to login to a web-based account to use Office once you have activated it. Activation validates your software license to prevent fraud and abuse of Adobe products and services. The activation process sends information to Adobe at various times, such as at download, installation, uninstallation, serialization, launch, and during update checks for Adobe software.

Like most programs you pay for, Adobe Acrobatrequires that you enter a unique serial number before using it. So, before you can install or reinstall Adobe Acrobat, you'll need to find the serial number that came with the program.

If you've lost your serial number, there's a very good chance you can retrieve it but only if Adobe Acrobat is still installed and the computer it's on is working.

You might be able to find your Adobe Acrobat serial number if you've uninstalled the program but only if the serial number information was left in the Windows Registry. We'll go over everything you need to know below.

The Adobe Acrobat serial number is actually more of a product key than a serial number but the terms are often used interchangeably.

How to Find Your Adobe Acrobat Serial Number

The easiest way to find your Adobe Acrobat DC or Acrobat X serial number is with a product key finder program.

Product key finder programs automatically search your computer for the product keys and serial numbers that your software programs store in the registry, Adobe Acrobat included.

See our Free Product Key Finders list for a number of programs that do just this. Not only that, they'll find your Acrobat serial for free. Most of the programs in that list are small and really easy to use.

The programs we've linked to will find the serial number for any recent edition of Acrobat, including Adobe Acrobat DC (Pro or Standard), Adobe Acrobat X, Adobe Acrobat 9, etc.

For example, Belarc Advisor, one of our favorite key finder tools (and the program shown in the example below), will properly locate the serial number for any version of Adobe Acrobat you have. If you find that another does for sure, let me know so I can keep this page updated.

The serial numbers in this picture have been greyed out but you'll see yours listed on the right side in plain text.

Most product key finder programs are designed to find serial numbers and product keys for operating systems, like Windows 10 or Windows 8, but some of them find serial numbers for several other programs as well — programs like Adobe Acrobat.

Other Ways to Find a Lost Adobe Acrobat Serial

While a keyfinder tool is certainly the easiest way to do this, no, it's not the only way.

If you're a little more technically inclined, there are a few additional ways to get your hands on a lost Acrobat serial number:

It'd be unwise of me to skip the obvious — maybe Adobe can help! Depending on how, when, and from whom you purchased Adobe Acrobat, you may be able to contact Adobe and get your Acrobat serial number from them.

Fortunately, the exact registry key that stores your Adobe Acrobat serial number is well known, as is a database file that stores it.

If you're comfortable in the Windows Registry, your Adobe Acrobat serial is located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Below is the exact location, depending on the version of the program and whether or not you're running a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows.

32-bit:

If you see multiple folders under Adobe Acrobat, replace 11.0 in the path above to whatever version of Acrobat you have.

Your other option is to grab the cache.db file from C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesAdobeAdobe PCDcache and open it with any free SQLite database viewing tool.

Please know that this serial number is encrypted, meaning that what you find in the registry key or the database file is not the literal serial number you can enter to install Adobe Acrobat. You'll first have to decrypt the serial number.

The Adobe Acrobat serial number decryption process is fairly complex and has been well documented in this Super User thread, so we won't reinvent the wheel and post it here.

Acrobat Serial Number Generators & Cracks

Don't do that. There's no other way to put it.

While you may have come across Adobe Acrobat key generator programs or other kinds of Adobe Acrobat cracks, please know that these are not legal ways of obtaining a working serial number.

Adobe Activation Support Software

The only legal way of installing this program is by using a valid Adobe Acrobat serial number obtained through a legal purchase of the software.

If all else fails, you may be left with the final option of buying a new copy of the software. Amazon has great prices on most versions of Adobe Acrobat, plus options for previously used boxed copies as well.

Another option is to abandon Adobe Acrobat altogether and choose a free tool that does the same thing. Seriously. While not as robust, there are a number of other options out there.
