Activating Photoshop elements on new computer

I could not deactivate my Photoshop Elements 8 from my old computer because it crashed now I have been given 30 days to activate Elements 8 on my new computer, how do I do this?

You should be able to activate Elements on two computers.  What happens if you try to activate the new install with your existing serial number?  If this is the 3rd install and activation for your Elements, then contact Adobe via Chat and after asking some questions to make sure you’re not a hacker, they should be able to deactivate the copy that was on the non-working computer, to free up that activation for a new install.

  • Activation Photoshop Elements on new computer

    I had to replace my old computer on which Adobe Photoshop Elements was installed. The HD (and entire old computer) is not available anymore and therefore, I cannot deactivate the software on this old computer and thus the activation of the very same, absolutely legally purchased, software fails.
    I have at hands the serial number. What can I do?
    Thanks for your help/assistance.

    You will need to contact adobe activation:

  • Install of Photoshop Elements onto new computer.

    I downloaded Photoshop Elements on-line to my Windows 8 system. I now have an upgraded computer and want to install Elements.  I do not have a backup disk.  How do I do it?

    If you got your original download from Adobe, it may still be available. Simply click the red logo top left on this forum page. Then go to My Adobe, log-in with your ID and explore your purchase history. There is no need to uninstall your existing software as you are permitted two activations.
    Otherwise if you kept a copy of the original download package or zip folder you may be able to copy it to a thumb drive or external hard drive and then double click the setup file to start installation on your new machine.

  • Need to transfer photoshop elements to new computer; how?

    I have purchased a new laptop and need to transfer my Adobe PhotoShop Elements to my new computer.  How can I do that I have the disk.

    Just install it on the new machine and use the serial number to activate it.  You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you want to you can leave it on the old machine as a backup.  If you want to removce it or otherwise disable it on the old machine then open it and choose Help -> Deactivate.

  • How to move to Photoshop Elements and new computer

    Hi, I've been using Photoshop Elements for several years, but am new to the forum.  I recently got a new Windows 7 computer and moved all my files, including photos, using a Windows 7 migration cable. I was using Photoshop Elements 6 on my old Windows XP computer and want to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 8 on the new computer.  How do I get my catalog into PE8?  Based on what I'm seeing in the posts on this forum, I'm thinking that I've gone about this the wrong way.  It looks like maybe I should delete my photo files from the new computer, then install PE8 on the old computer, do a backup in PE8, and restore the backup on the new computer in PE8. Does this make sense, or can someone suggest a better way to do this?  Thanks for your help.

    I should delete my photo files from the new computer, then install PE8 on the old computer, do a backup in PE8, and restore the backup on the new computer in PE8.
    That is definitely the most reliable method.  You're changing three things at once: new computer, new version of Windows, new version of PSE.  The catalog conversion process (upgrading to a new version of PSE) and backup/restore are both fairly buggy, so it's wise to do one step at a time to make troubleshooting and workarounds much easier.  It's also better to use the most recent (less buggy) PSE 8 to make the backup, rather than PSE 6.
    People are tempted to take a shortcut on this and try to use PSE 8 on the new computer from a PSE 6 backup.  That will often work, but when it doesn't, they then waste a lot more time trying to make it work.   As the Car Talk Guys used to say, "It's the cheapskate who pays the most."
    See this FAQ for tips on converting from PSE 6 to 8:

    Hi Shaun,
    Elements 6 is a legacy product and the download is not available on Adobe's website.
    Also check the configuration of your new machine, Elements 6 might not be compatible with that.

    Unfortunately, only adobe can help you with that, as most people here are just posters such as your self and don't work for adobe.
    If you go here and use the Chat now button (bottom of page), they should get you up and running by resetting your activations.

    You can't sign in because there is nothing to sign in to. For PSE 10 the only sign in was to photoshop.com, which has been dead and gone for a year and half. Just skip the sign in. Reinstalling will not change this.
