Adobe won't recognize my photoshop elements 5.0 serial number

I just got a new PC with Windows 8 on it. I want to load my old Photoshop Elements 5.0 software on the new PC. When I enter the number in the registration window, Adobe says the number can't be recognized. Why?

You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the button marked “chat now”

    Check your Adobe account online.  If you registered the software when you first installed it then the serial number might be available there.

  • I lost my photoshop elements 7.0 serial number and i had not had it registered so i can't get it back. My old desktop broke and i would like to install photo shop on my new laptop. How can i get it back?

    I would first go to your Adobe Account and make sure that all info in it was correct and then match up all S/N's with your records. If you find any problems, then make corrections.
    If all matches, but does not work, contact Adobe and see if they still sell replacement DVD's for CS2. Adobe usually does, for a small price. Still, you will need your correct S/N, so you will probably be back on the phone to Adobe. When I once used them for a S/N problem, they were quick and did a perfect job.
    Good luck,

  • For adobe photoshop elements 13 the serial number and redemption code are not working.

    Used redemption code to download elements 13 but serial number said invalid when trying to set up software.

    Thanks, I tried it, but that did not work.  Another Forum leader determined that I bought a WIN license and I have a MAC.  Not sure how that happened.  I have sent a message (hopefully given the absolute user unfriendly interface for any problems) to the Order folks.  If they don't reply, i will cancel the credit card charge.  That might get their attention.  What a terrible company.

  • Need help downloading photoshop elements 10 through serial number

    I have just purchased a hard copy of photoshop elements 10, but our computer will only run CD's not DVD's, so I can't run the disk. I have got a serial number but I don't know where to put it to download photoshop, since you can no longer download the free trial elements 10 (only elements 11). Any idea's or help would be much appreciated

  • Just purchased Photoshop Elements and the serial number shows as invalid

    Whenever I enter my serial number a message appears : "This serial number is not valid for Adobe Photoshop Elements 12"
    How do I solve this? The live chat has not been working as well so I don't know who to contact about this issue.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    The original poster or yourself gave no indication of which operating system you are running on.
    Around the time of the original post there was a problem with the Adobe server and a note was put out which may have answered the original posters problem.
    You don't tell us anything about your problem - any error message?
    By the way, this is a user to user forum where other users try to help - Adobe staff only occasionally look in.

  • Photoshop elements 2.0 serial number

    In 2004 I've bought a CANON 300D with a photoshop elements CD included. I've never intaled and I've lost the serial number.
    can you help me?
    best regards
    rogério

    If you never installed and do not have the packaging that the disk comes in then you are not likely to be able to do very much.  Had you installed and registered it you might find your serial number recorded in your Adobe account online.  As it stands, you have nothing more than a disk and that is not proof of ownership unfortunately.

  • Reinstalled photoshop elements 7 and serial number is rejected

    Reinstalled photoshop elements 7 from online adobe account. Used ser# listed on account and is rejected from setup. Verified ser# from written copy in notebook. tech support said to find the answer in forums. seems like everyone has the same issue and no answer???

    You need to contact Adobe again using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
    1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
    2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
    3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”

The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on. Insist on speaking with a supervisor if the agent tries to end the call. Members of this forum can't deal with activation issues; so you received poor advice. Good luck.

  • Installing new Retail version of Photoshop Elements, receive Invalid Serial Number

    Hi Everyone,
    I purchased a new Box retail version of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 12 and before installing I am asked for the Serial Number. I enter it from the box but I get a message that says it is invalid serial number. How can that be if that is what is on the Box.
    Thank you,
    Danny

    Hi Everyone,
    I was able to solve it myself and in way should have provided more information. I was installing the software under the local Admin which in my Domain does not have internet access through our Proxy.
    Once I logged on with my Domain Admin and tried to install the software, it worked with out problems. I was not aware that the computer needed access to the Internet to verify the Serial Number.
    Thank you all for your time and assistance.
    Regards,
    Danny

  • Computer crashed whilst installing photoshop elements 11, now serial number invalid?

    Recently purchased photoshop elements 11, when installing my computer crashed. When attempting to install for a second time it now displays a message saying my serial ref is invalid?
    Do I need to get a new reference?
    If so, how do I get a new reference?

    Dgjr7878 it is likely that the current installation of Photoshop Elements and it's licensing files got corrupted if your computer is crashing.  Is this a common occurance?  If so you may want to address the stability difficulties you are experiencing with your current computer prior to reinstalling.
    There are additional steps you can try to recover from your computer's unexpected restart.  Which operating system are you using exactly?

  • When trying to register Photoshop Elements with my serial number, only the numbers will show, not any letters in the number. Why?

    When I try to register Photoshop Elements, only the numbers show in the boxes, none of the letters in the serial number will show.

    Then obviously Elements is different from Photoshop, Indesign or Illustrator which all have only numbers.
    Maybe you'd better ask in the Elements forum:
