I can't download the e-license for AA 8.1.0 Professional

[Guest]

I am trying to re-download adobe acrobat 8.1.0 professional on my computer. When i get to the download e-license step I get a "Unable to connect to the internet" message. I tried downloading the e-license through different networks and I get the same message so it can't be the firewall. I first noticed this issue about two weeks ago and have not found a solution for this. Can anyone please help me. Thank you

Thank you for the link to the FTP but i am not quite sure how to utilize this link.

use a browser or ftp client.

I already have Acrobat installed. The E-license is what is giving me a problem.

Hello,

I was having the same issue. It looks like Adobe is no longer supporting Acrobat 8.

Here is a link to the knowledgebase:
