### Download the Package

Download the package from [https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html](https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) and store it in the network share. The network share should have read access to **Everyone** and **Authenticated Users** group.

**Note**: Download the appropriate edition which you require, eg: Acrobat DC Pro installer / Acrobat DC Standard installer.

### Extract the Package

To extract the downloaded package, navigate to the command prompt and run this command:

```
<File Path>\Acrobat_2015_Web_WWMUI.exe /extract: <File Path>\AdobeAcrobatDC /quiet
```

### Add the serial number

In order to derive the product key, you will have to add the serial number. Follow the below steps to add the serial number:

1. Open the **ABCPY.INI** file using a text editor from the location where you have stored the Adobe Acrobat DC package.
2. Locate **ISX_SERIALNUMBER**.
3. Add the serial number.
4. Save and close the file.
5. Verify if **ABCPY.INI** is located in the same directory as the EXE.

### Add the Software Package

1. Click on the **Software Deployment** tab.
2. Choose the application type as **MSIEXEC/EXE/ISS/Command**.
3. Under Packages, click **Add Package**.
4. Choose **Network Path** and click **Browse** to locate the file.
5. Under **Installation command with Switches/Arguments**, enter the following:

```
<share>\Setup.exe /sAll
```

**For example:**

```
"\\DC-machine-1\DesktopCentral\SoftwareRepository\Adobe Acrobat DC\AdobeAcrobatDCStandard\Adobe Acrobat\Setup.exe" /sAll
```

**Note:**

If you want to deploy the package without editing the **ABCPY.INI** file, you can provide the Installation Command as the following:

```
<share>\Setup.exe ISX_SERIALNUMBER="<your valid Acrobat serial number>" /sAll
```

**For example:**

```
"\\DC-machine-1\DesktopCentral\SoftwareRepository\Adobe Acrobat DC\AdobeAcrobatDCStandard\Adobe Acrobat\Setup.exe" ISX_SERIALNUMBER="<xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx>" /sAll
```
