After a while, my Pro 8 would not update past 8.1.3 without reinstalling 
it. To reinstall the latest version, see if the Pro 8 evaluation 
installer is still available at Adobe.com. Otherwise, use your own 
media. Then just activate it afterwards. Then every so often, run a 
repair via the control panel to keep it running smoothly every month or so.
