FM10 - Changing licensed machines

[Jeff Coatsworth]

You should be able to download the FM10 installer from the Adobe Licensing site; but be sure to deactivate FM on your old machine before installing on the new machine. With separate copies of FM and Acrobat, you should tweak the FM install to skip the add-on PDF Creator (that’s the headless one that ships with FM), then load the full Acrobat.

Hi all,

Apologies for the "asking before trying" approach, but I need this to be as seamless as possible as I'm a (paranoid about Adobe) sole writer with major deadlines.

I have inherited the following:

  *   Win 7 (64-bit) setup
  *   Upgraded FM10 installation (upgraded via Adobe website, from FM7 CD installation)
  *   Adobe Acrobat 11 installed from Adobe Cloud
​I have a new Win 7 (64-bit) machine​ that I need to re-install my setup onto.

For licencing issues, I will be un-installing everything from my old machine before installing, but wanted to check if there is a recommended way of installing onto the new box. Past experience has taught me - FM first, then Adobe Acrobat, but that was with TCS.

Would you recommend I use the same procedure as was originally done - that is, FM 7, FM 10 upgrade, Acrobat?? Or will Adobe allow me to download FM10 from the Cloud even though it was just an upgrade that was purchased?? Trawling through the Adobe site has left me with more questions than answers!

Thanks,
Sam.
