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 (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

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.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Update, February 28, 2009

By	jrf (MD) - See all my reviews

Not a bad update. I needed the update for the Outlook 2007 pdf conversions. My version 7 didn't work with Outlook. Overall, I'm happy with the product. I still like to use PaperPort to combine PDF and other formats - much easier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Acrobat 9 is just fine, November 22, 2008

By	G. Jones (Marble Falls, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I went from version 6 to 9 in one jump. I like the interface better, much cleaner. Have had no problems and it loads all of the more recently created PDF's without squaking at me about newer features. Not an essential upgrade for me but glad i did it.
