Adobe Acrobat Pro Serial Number

Have several copies of Acrobat Professional that were purchased previously, installed and activated. However there is no documentation of the serial numbers, the Adobe online account ID or any details for these.

Need to move the licenses to upgraded Windows 7 PCs (current ones are on Windows XP that are about to be decommissioned).

Hi All, I have repackaged the Adobe Acrobat Prfessional and Standard silently without any EULA, Updates etc but when I try to install it without internet. No serial number is needed for subscription or membership products. Simply sign in with your Adobe ID to activate your membership. If you purchased a stand-alone version of a product—via a card, as a download, or on discs in a box (for example, Acrobat XI, Photoshop Elements, or Lightroom 6)—you will need your serial number to install the app. Enter your serial number when prompted during.

Requirement is to ONLY move the licenses to the upgraded workstations. NOT to have multiple instances of the same license running concurrently.

Note: Adobe support is not very helpful since there isn't much information about the licenses.

DO NOT want to use 3rd party tools to extract serial numbers.

Is there a way to get this information from the registry or any other location so that the licenses can be transferred without breaking the activation? If so how?

Download same version of the Adobe software that was install previously from the official Adobe repository using the links below:

Adobe 7 - Download for Adobe Professional and Standard version 7 and Serial key available here - The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products. (Can download by using ANY Adobe ID to sign in - Not just the Adobe ID it was purchased under)
