3.0 out of 5 stars Allows upgrade from 6.0 on, allows extra laptop install., August 5, 2008

By 

Graham (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 Upgrade [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)

The upgrade requirements aren't mentioned here, but according to Adobe's website you can upgrade "from Acrobat 6.x, 7.x or 8.x Standard".

The license allows an additional install on a laptop or home computer, provided you don't use that copy at the same time as the main install. From the license: "... the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed ('Primary User') may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer ..."

The product requires activation, which includes sending license information to Adobe.

According to Adobe's website, it is OK to move the software between computers you own, but you need to manually deactivate the software on the old computer before the move. You can launch deactivation using the Help/Deactivate menu item. (You may need to wait a minute or two after Acrobat starts before this menu item appears.)

2.0 out of 5 stars Why can't they offer an "Acrobat Elements"?, October 17, 2009

This review is from: Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 Upgrade [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)

Acrobat Standard 9 works mostly OK on Windows 7 (actually the print dialog box is a little buggy...it pops up in the background with a generic icon), however, most of the functionality I want is just included in OSX as part of the operating system. All I do is print to .pdf, add post-it notes to pdf files, and sometimes extract and insert pages. I don't know why I need to pay $90 per Windows machine for this functionality. Adobe has made .pdf the industry standard (my bank statements come in this format, among others), and they should provide a more affordable option for people to do basic, consumer-grade manipulation. More of a Reader-Plus, than a Pro-Minus

This review is from: Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 Upgrade [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)

Like all of my previous Adobe products, this one performs every bit a good as I expect them to. My only complaint is that I was required to buy it in the first place. I was perfectly happy with v.8 and I do not upgrade every time a publisher wants to make more money. But I had to replace my old laptop and I had installed v.8 on the maximum allowable 2 computers (desktop and laptop). I tried to buy a license for a third computer and was told they do not do that and my only recourse was to purchase the new version. While I like the product I do not like being strong-armed to buy new versions when I don't relly need or want to.
