I can't get a standalone version of Adobe Acrobat DC Standard to activate.I have two Adobe ID's.one, my personal e-mail, has a Adobe CC subscription. That Acrobat DC is fine and working.At work, I have my work e-mail and we purchased a Standalone copy of Adobe Acrobat Standard DC. When I try to activate it, it says NO SUBSCRIPTION FOUND under my work e-mail. Which should be true.I do not have an Adobe CC SUBSRIPTION under that email.
But this is a standalone copy of Acrobat DC.What it does, it finds my PERSONAL e-mail and says I've activated my CC on too many PC's. But I've never provided my personal email to Adobe on my work PC. When I select use a different Adobe ID, I enter my work ID and then it gives that NO SUBSCRIPTION FOUND.I've contacted Adobe but I keep getting transferred (via chatr) to different chat tech support people and they provide fixes that do not fix it. I'd love to just get on the phone with someone and resolve this.I am on Windows 10 and I do associate my personal Microsoft Account on my WORK PC so I am wondering if there is some kind of synced credential going on here.
Some ideas I've not tried were to log in locally and install it with an account that has nothing to do with my personal Microsoft account. I did try the domain administrator account on this PC but it still pulled my personal adobe ID when it tried to activate it.I was hoping I could get some help from an Adobe rep here in Spiceworks. I'm patient but this is frustrating to say the least..

But this might be a start for a phone number.Thanks.I sure will give that a try.couldn't find a good number.Went through the whole phone tree.seems like if you don't have either CC or an Elements version, you can't get phone support.:(.

Also was the license registered to your work email?
If so how was it applied to that account? If this was a stand alone license are you trying to install from CC or did you use the stand alone download installed for Acrobat?Well, this pops up in a Window and even did so as the Administrator.I may try one more time with a different profile on this PC and see what happens.

Also are you trying to install from CC or using the stand alone installer? Is you purchased Acrobat using a stand alone license then you need to download the stand alone installer and install using the Key provided as this is different licensing compared to purchasing it as a single app license through Creative Cloud. That's why I'm trying to figure out what license version you purchased and how the license was applied.This is a stand alone installer.
Purchased from Newegg.received key and downloaded it. Adobe even sent me to their website with the downloads of Adobe Acrobat Standard DC and used theirs with same results.Sorry, should have been clearer. The Adobe Installer will install and then pop up window (assuming it is a standard system window and not Edge or IE) and it will automatically detect my Adobe Cloud E-Mail when I never provided it on this PC.ever.I want to activate this stand alone and not be part of my CC, by using my work e-mail. Adam Gadoury wrote:Is the CC app installed as well? If so are you able to uninstall it as well as Acrobat and try just installing the Acrobat app? It sounds like it keeps trying to install from CC instead of the standalone app.No.CC has never been installed on this PC ever. Only my Surface Pro 3 and home PC.
For some reason unknown to me, the Adobe installer immediately picks up my personal ID when trying to activate the strandalone Adobe Acrobat and as mentioned in the original post, when I do try to activate with work email, it says no subscription found. Which in fact is true, don't have one with work email.just need this stand alone version working.I still wonder if it has anything to do with Windows 10 synced profile/personalizations somehow? Sheena - your kidding right?Call that number - ADOBE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUPPORTalmost EVERY SINGLE OPTION leads to a message saying that 'Adobe does not provide support for this product'I was going to type the ENTIRE IVR tree here to be a smartass, but honestly it is so laughable that it is a waste of time.How about this Sheena, before you send people to that utterly useless chat and phone number. DIAL IT YOURSELF and go through EVERY SINGLE tree option. Next, go through the option to get Adobe ID support and try to tell them that you can not get your Adobe Acrobat DC OEM to activate. They will not have ANY CLUE how to help you and instead will send you to chat, who in turn will send you back to support.I got so angry I called the corporate office and attempted to explain the issue.
They simply had support call me back and the process started over.Here is a start:Option 1: Creative CloudOption 2: Photo Plan and Stock PhotosOption 3: Other productsOption 4: All other productsEach menu item leads to sub-menus, where each leads to a message indicating that Adobe does not offer phone support, or any support. In some cases you are asked to contact the reseller, others the forum or chat. But none of them provide you WITH SUPPORT.Let me remind you that your company lost some 50 to 150 million Adobe IDs along with SOURCE CODE, etc. Less than a year later your are FORCING all users of ALL of your products to create Adobe IDs and do so within a framework where THERE IS NO SUPPORT.Hubris?The entire situation is pathetic. Damn.i wish I had found this 30 min ago. To late for me.Just needed to purchase a single copy of Adobe Acrobat DC for one PC. As I required the software quickly, I purchased it on-line.All good right? But when I purchased, I had to 'sign-in' for the purchase.
That makes sense, confirmations, license keys etc. No prob.Get the software, download and installed it onto USERS PC. Give PC back to user. User tries to use Adobe Acrobat. It is asking for a sign-in.Sign-in to what, she doesn't have a damn Adobe account!!Apparently I need to give her and the 5 other people that sit at this position.MY Adobe Login.
Not bloody likely.ADOBE.This is pathetic.Now looking for PDF programs that work without having to jump through a bunch of frigging hoops. Morons.What a waste of $400. They are morons, but they always have been.Adobe has a history of treating customers like criminals and imposing insane licensing verification models on them.The 'creative cloud' licensing crap will bring even the most robust PC to its performance knees and the 'Adobe Account' nonsense is out of hand.When ordering PCs for customers, an OEM copy of Acrobat was ALWAYS purchased. Office (as bad as it is) can export or save as PDF as can most other applications.
The rest of the Adobe suite of products has become bloated and sluggish and most require an Adobe account even if a Desktop version is purchased. For example I purchased a desktop copy of LightRoom and the first thing it does is attach it self to your AdobeID for activcation and basically convert itself into the cloud based version, like it or not.So in any reasonable context I (and therefore my customers) are done buying Adobe products. They just are not worth the trouble.
