Hi All, Can any body pls help me to get rid of the activation window that appears directly after launching adobe acrobat 7. Has any body solved the problem.. Posted by: tungless 16 years ago.

I produced an MST really quickly with the tuner but then discovered the activation on first run too. I guess we need to be careful with this sort of thing. Trying to create a package which skips the activation will solve the deployment problem but it comes pretty close to a 'cracked' version which you might get from a p2p site Looks like you have to buy a large quantity to get the corporate version of the software which doesn't need the activaiton so it was a no go for us..

Posted by: Irv 14 years ago. Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. I then updated it to 7. Now everytime that I try to use it I get the error message: "Activation requires that you have administrative rights on this computer. Please log on as administrator and try again". I am logged on as administrator with full access. I also notice that the Activate and transfer tabs under the help tab are greyed out.

What can I do to get this thing to work?? However, it sounds to me like you have a simple one-user installation issue. In that case, just uninstall everything and install in the correct sequence. Thanks fo rthe reply. Will it let me re-register it again? The buttons are grayed out to transfer registration. I wouldn't know, I'm afraid, but I imagine that when you uninstall it, it will remove registration information.

If not, you may have to obliterate the registry information manually having backed it first, of course. BTW, this is a software packaging forum, not a Helpdesk. Your question ought to have been posted on Adobe's forum. Start here.
