I would call Adobe and talk to them. They may have a workaround or they may tell you that you have to pay but either way you will have an answer and not waste time trying to figure out your own workaround.
Best wishes,

Subject: licensing - Acrobat DC from Tech Comm Suite 2015 ?
Hello, WR-L-ers,
Quick question:
Does the âlicenseâ for the Acrobat DC component/part of Tech Comm Suite 2015 cover/allow for installing Acrobat DC (but not the rest of the Tech Comm Suite) on a 2nd machine? What if that 2nd machine is a Mac (not a PC)?
Background:
Last year I purchased Tech Comm Suite 2015 for my Windows 7 PC. Tech Comm Suite 2015 includes Acrobat Pro DC. Also, Creative Cloud seems to be part of the whole thing (albeit perhaps not the same thing as âpurchasing a Creative Cloud subscriptionâ because when I log in to my Adobe account, my Plans & Products section says âCreative Cloud Free membershipâ), although I never use it. (Iâve got a stable FrameMaker/Acrobat system, and donât want updates messing things up.)
Iâve looked at lots of Adobe website pages to try to figure out if I can use the Tech Comm Suite/Acrobat license for an Acrobat DC installation on my MacBook, and canât come to any conclusion.
I went ahead and installed Creative Cloud on the MacBook, and signed in to my Adobe account. But when I change to the Apps âtabâ, the button for Acrobat DC shows âTryâ, not âInstallâ. And when I open Acrobat, it says the trial version is good for only 7 days.
Anyone have any insight as to whether one can install the Acrobat DC part of the Tech Comm Suite on a 2nd machine (a Mac)?
Thanks much,
-Monique
