Can't use existing serial number on new laptop

I had to purchase a new computer because my old laptop died. When I installed my elements 8, a message indicated that the install was only good for 30 days because the serial number was already used on 2 computers and I therefore had to purchase a new seriel number. One of the 2 computers was the one that crashed. Is there a way that I can use the existing serial number?

You will need to contact adobe to get your activations straightened out. If you're in the US:

I want to change my old computer by a new one. What about the Première Eléments License? Can I use the serial number on the new one? Thanks

If I change my old computer for a new one, can I use the Serial Number License of Première Éléments for the New one. Thanks for your answer. Daniel

More information is necessary to give you an answer that applies to your specific situation.
1. What version of Premiere Elements is involved and on what computer operating system is it running now and on what computer operating system will it be running on the second (new) computer?
2. How did you set up your first computer....purchased online download from Adobe to Window 7 64 bit, followed by install there OR installation from Premiere Elements installation disc purchased in box packaging?
True, Adobe allows a purchased serial number for a given version to be activated on no more than 2 of your computers.
That is a critical consideration. But in itself that becomes moot if other factors do not fall into place.
Looking forward to your follow up details.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, no. Creative Suite serial numbers are platform specific: Windows only or Mac only.

I've installed Photoshop Elements 12 from a CD onto my PC laptop. I'm thinking about buying a tablet, so was wondering if (a) can I install on a 2nd device (b) can I use the serial number online as I won't beable to install from a CD, and (c) will I beable to choose a mac, after the initial was on a PC???? Thanks Martin

A single user license allows for having activated installations on two machines. An Elements license allows for either platform in many cases (recently not the case from what I've seen). If you have the disc, see if it contains the Mac installation files... if it does then you should be able to install them via a download as well. I cannot answer with certainty for the last question since it relies on the previous question. Personally, I would not let an inexpensive piece of software dictate an expensive hardware purchase decision.

I uninstalled the illustrator and try to reinstall it, But I can't use the serial number that i got before to activate it.

Can I use my serial number for Acrobat Pro VIII for Acrobat Reader XI?

I bought Acrobat Pro VIII several years ago. Can I use the serial number I received at the time to activate the professional functions in Acrobat Reader XI?

Adobe Reader's additional functions like ExportPDF and CreatePDF are subscription based and do not have a serial number basis.

Can i use my serial number

can i use my serial # to ask apple if any1 set up a new account under my ipod?

Because like other manufacturers, Apple does not help locate lost/stolen items
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

If I buy a dvd copy of elements can I use that serial number or Key to install it on my imac that does NOT have a DVD drive?

Buying the DVD is less expensive but I don't have a DVD drive. So I want to know if I can use the serial number or product key from the box to license a trial download?

It should work. You can always contact Adobe Support if it doesn't.

No, the SN will onlyhelp identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered

No app on the iPod is required.
