While updating to a newer version of Acrobat, you can choose to keep a previous version of Acrobat that is already installed on your device.
If you choose to keep the existing Acrobat software on your device, change the default by unchecking the “Remove earlier version” option in the Acrobat downloader user interface.
If you uninstall the previous version, and want to return to it after a trial, make sure you have your original serial number and installation files. Then you can reinstall it when you are finished with the trial.
If you do not change the default settings, installing a newer version of Acrobat will uninstall any earlier version already on your device.
Windows: To uninstall your trial version on a Windows device, close any open Adobe software on your computer, open the Windows Control Panel, and double-click Programs and Features. Click on Acrobat Pro and select Uninstall from the menu.

The trial period begins on the day you sign up and continues for 7 consecutive days. On the 8th day, payment will be collected unless you cancel before then.
