How to Access Your Adobe Send and Track Subscription on a New Mac
Question details
The user needs to restore access to their previously purchased Adobe Send and Track service after migrating to a new Mac computer.
- Product
- Adobe Send and Track
- Device & OS
- Mac
- Scenario
- Migrating software to a new Mac and attempting to use a previously purchased Adobe PDF service.
- Observed behavior
- The Adobe service fails to launch and instead prompts the user to purchase the subscription again.
Ensure you have the exact Adobe ID (email address) and password that was originally used to purchase your Acrobat and Send and Track subscription.
Verify Subscription Entitlement and Reinstall Supported Acrobat
Log in to your Adobe account to confirm your active subscription before installing the correct application on your new Mac.
Often, repurchase prompts appear because users accidentally sign in with a different Adobe ID or download a version of Acrobat that doesn't match their specific subscription tier.
Visit the Adobe website and log in using the exact Adobe ID associated with your original purchase.
Navigate to the 'Plans and Products' section in your account dashboard to confirm that your Send and Track entitlement is active.
Download the latest supported version of Adobe Acrobat directly from your account page, rather than using an old installer.
Install Acrobat on your new Mac, sign in with your verified Adobe ID, and access 'Send' or 'Send and Track' from the tool menu.
Contact Adobe Support for Legacy Products
If your subscription does not appear or you had a legacy CD-based version, you may need support intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Adobe say I need to repurchase Send and Track?
You might be signed in with a different Adobe ID, or your legacy version of the software is no longer supported on the latest macOS, prompting the system to offer the current subscription plan instead.
Can I transfer an old CD-based Acrobat version to my new Mac?
Many older CD-based versions are 32-bit applications and are completely incompatible with recent macOS versions (like Catalina and later). You will likely need to upgrade to a supported 64-bit version.
How do I find out which Adobe ID holds my subscription?
Search your email inboxes for past purchase confirmation emails from Adobe, or attempt a password reset for all your likely email addresses on the Adobe login page to discover which one has an active account.
Is Adobe Send and Track still a standalone service?
Adobe has integrated many legacy Send and Track features directly into standard Acrobat subscription plans and Adobe Document Cloud services, meaning standalone legacy apps might require transitioning to a modern plan.
