Deactivate Elements 7

I am in the process of moving my software to a new machine. I have a registered copy of Elements 7. I understand that I have to deactivate it before I uninstall it. However, I see no way to do that. In Help there is no "Deactivate" option. The only option that seems related is one that says "Registration...", but it is greyed out. What am I missing?

There will be no Help->Deactivate option inside the help menu in case you have bought your copy in a DVD from store. But there will be a link inside the Organizer and Editor in case you have converted a trial into a full retail version.
Regards,
Ankush

follow the link in the thread for activation support during regular business hours.
EDIT Just saw your other thread. You will need to follow the link to contact activation support. If you go to the linked page when they're open, sometimes a chat window will open for you.

How can I deactivate Elements 7 so I can install it on a newer computer?

How can I deactivate Elements 7 on one computer so I can install it on a newer computer? I tried clicking the help button and then there is not a deactivate button.

It may not be necessary as you are permitted two activations.
Deactivate is only available under the Help menu in Full Edit, not from the Organizer menu.

How do I DEACTIVATE Elements 13???

NOWHERE on the Adobe website can I find instructions for doing this, even though I'm told I must if I want a refund within the 30 day return period. I just keep getting bounced in a circle of links. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO Frustrated!
I bought Elements 13 after trying for days to get a trial version (which did not work, and trying to make it work ended my trial, which still makes no sense to me). I was told that if I bought it and did not want it, I could get a full refund within 30 days.
After I finally bought it, when I did not get any other options from Support, and waited a couple of days for a forum post to be answered, then I got an email from someone in support, saying they had given me a serial number, good for 30 days. So now I have TWO registered versions of PSE 13.
I bought it (and also got it for free) and do not like it and want a refund, but have read here that I first need to de-activate it and then uninstall it. I've looked everywhere I can think of for a way to de-activate it and cannot find out how. I keep going to suggested links for more information on the Adobe website, and get bounced to pages where I've already been.
I was directed to get help in 'chat'; wrote a detailed description of the problem there, and clicked on the 'start chat' button. Nothing. No response or change of any kind. The page just sat there.
So I went to the forums to find one that fit my problem. Apparently Adobe does not think deactivation and/or returns deserves much attention, since there does not seem to be a proper forum for discussing them. This looked like the best one.
This is just another in a series of amazingly frustrating experiences in the last two weeks with Adobe. All of you in support have been as friendly and helpful as I could hope for, but your website has not been helpful at all!!!
Please help me to deactivate Photoshop Elements 13, and tell me the steps needed to get a refund. Yes, I can call on the phone tomorrow, but that has not gone very well, either. When I bought the serial number, I was told, because I very specifically asked about it, that a return would be easy. HA!

Well, with no help from the Adobe website, I found the answer (I think) in another forum query. It said that, to deactivate, I need to open a project in 13, click on the Help button, and sign out. I want to make sure: Is that all that is needed to deactivate? (If so, how hard would it be for Adobe to put this somewhere easy to find in their FAQ?)
Then, the next step before getting a refund is to uninstall, correct? And the final step is to get a refund by somehow getting in touch with someone.
My question now is, what about the two different serial numbers? Someone in support went ahead and activated the number they gave me, so I currently have two. The free one is supposed to end on December 12. Do I just ignore it?

Can't deactivate elements

I'va installed elemnts 9 on my 2 home PCs. Ican't deactivate the product on none of them (each time I try to enter the Elemnts the SW requires deactivating the copy on other's PC first....). How can I deactivate one of the copies??

Hi Scott,
the problem is that each time I press on the "EDIT" button in the initial screen of the PhotoShop element (in order to get to the help menu) - I've got the blocking message that disable me to deactivate the elemnts on either of the PCs. Any other idea??
I found the forum page through help menu of the organizer (to which I can enter...).
Thanks for your help.

Need to deactivate elements

i need to deactivate Premire Elements to reinstall on second computer.... don't see where the deactive tab is

danschnarr
What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running.
Typically, for more recent versions, you would go to the opened project and Help Menu/Deactivate. Close out of the project. And, then you would uninstall via the classical Control Panel route.
You might also find a deactivate option to check in the course of the uninstall. But I would make sure to do the one in the opened project nonetheless as well as any deactivate in the uninstall dialogs.
Please let us know if the above answered your question.
You are allowed the same purchased serial number on two of your computers. So, I would ask, are you talking about a second computer here or a third?

Pretty simple actually. all you need is to go to Help menu bar and look for something like this:
There is a deactivate button/link there as shown in the picture.

I am unable to deactivate Elements 10 on my computer.

The option is available, but when I click on deactivate, nothing happens. I have another computer that I want to install Elements on, but my 1st copy was used on another computer that crashed.

I included a link in my previous response and this is not allowed. I have attached a screen print of where I got the link for the Licence Recovery App.

How do I deactivate Elements from an old computer not available?

I had earlier installed and activated Photoshop Elements and Premiere on two computers and have just installed on a new one. Get a message advising that I already have activated on two. The computer that I wish to deactivate is unavailable. How do I deactivate so I can activate on the new one?

Call support to reset activations.

Can't deactivate Elements 6

Can I move Elements 6 to another computer if it came bundled with my old printer?

Elements 6 has no activation unless you bought a serial number via the buy it now button in the trial, so you're good. But you'll need to run a full install, not just move the program.
