If the volume serial number has expired, users may experience licensing or serial number errors. You can use the AdobeExpiryCheck tool to check if the volume serial numbers have expired to expiring soon. If they have expired or are expiring soon, it is recommended that you re-serialize with a new serial number.
AdobeExpiryCheck (v1.0.0.3) is a command-line utility for IT Admins to check whetherAdobe productson a computer are using serial numbers that have expired or are expiring. IT Admins can use this tool if they are not sure whether the serial numbers used in their organization are expiring or if they want to identify the machines with expiring serial numbers.

With the AdobeExpiryCheck tool, admins can get the information about the product licensing identifier (LEID), the encrypted serial number, and the expiration date. Admins can also redirect the console output to a file while running this tool remotely. If the tool does not find any expiring or expired volume serial number, you get the following message:
![Volume serial number location Volume serial number location](/uploads/1/2/4/8/124867556/226837790.jpg)
No expiring/expired serial number found on the system.
Note:
If you already have the information about the expiration date of serial numbers used to serialize Adobe product installations in your organization, there is no need to run AdobeExpiryCheck.

Bond Serial Number Location
Windows
- for /f 'tokens=1 delims=.' %F in ('findstr 20181130 * ^| findstr Acrobat') do @echo %~F
- for /f 'tokens=1 delims=.' %F in ('findstr 20181130 * ^| findstr CreativeCloud') do @echo %~F
Mac
- grep 20181130 * | grep Acrobat | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -d'.' -f1
- grep 20181130 * | grep CreativeCloud | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -d'.' -f1
You can also parse all the output files and export the result in a file. For example, you can use the following command to parse the output files for serial numbers expiring on 30th November and export the result in a .csv file:
Select-String -path <Output folder path>*.txt -pattern 20171130 | Export-Csv <filename.csv>(export data)
