When does the trial period officially begin?

I have an older version of Acrobat installed on my computer. What will happen to it if I install the trial version of Acrobat Pro DC?

Installation of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC trial by default uninstalls any earlier version of Adobe Acrobat on Windows devices. If you choose to retain the existing Acrobat XI on your machine, you need to change the default by unchecking the “Remove earlier version” option in Acrobat downloader UI. If you have uninstalled the previous version, then you can reinstall it when you are finished with the trial. Make sure you have your original serial number and installation disks.

How do I convert my free trial to licensed software at the end of my trial period?

If you purchase a paid subscription, select "Activate" in the trial status window at the bottom-right side of the tools pane, and follow the prompts.
 
If you purchase a perpetual license (one-time purchase), you will be given a serial number for your new Acrobat Pro DC or Acrobat Standard DC software. Once you have it, you will need to download and install a different Acrobat file. Click here to download. If you have an Acrobat DVD, you can install it directly from the DVD.

What is the difference between the Acrobat Pro DC desktop trial and the Acrobat DC desktop software that I can buy?

Your trial of Acrobat Pro DC desktop software receives the same updates that the subscription version of Acrobat Pro DC gets. If you purchase the desktop only version after your trial, it may not have all the updated features you were able to enjoy during your trial. To ensure all the same features of your trial, you can upgrade to Acrobat Pro DC with services which  includes Acrobat Pro DC for your desktop with all the latest updates, the Acrobat Reader mobile app, plus online services.
