How do I find all Abobe Acrobat installation codes/keys

[Guest]

Is there a way to find out all the Adobe Acrobat installation keys/codes on the workstations on my network? I came across a copy of Acrobat that I'm not sure is even installed anywhere.

It should be stored in the registry. On my system, you can run Hyena, right click Properties->Software and the Uninstall registry key has the keys for all installed software. Most vendors will place the license information under their product key; mine displays on the Software tab under the ProductID value.

my product ID field is blank. I do have Adobe Acrobat v8 installed though. Could this be run on all computers at the same time?

Try running Exporter Pro for this. You can click on your domain, or a selection of computers in Hyena, then go to Tools->Exporter Pro->Export From Selected Objects. Click the Settings button, then enable the Installed Software Applications export under Registry. Click Close and then Start Export. When it is finished you can open the output file with Excel and see if if gives you the information you need.

If you have a computer where you know that Adobe is installed on, manually go into the registry (HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Uninstall) and find the key, then see if the license key is under another named value. You can customize the queries, but you first need to see if the software places its key into the registry.
