Deactivating and reactivating? Adobe photoshop elements 12 for new computer

I am considering buying a new computer, therefore upgrading from windows 7 to window 8.1 and thense to windows 10 when it is released.
I have read that I need to deactivate and reactivate? my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 once I get my new computer because I can only have one on a computer at one time.
I am however, unsure how to do this.I am also unsure how I would go about getting my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 onto my new computer, daft as that might sound, especially as I will be using windows 8, which I don't have as much knowledge of using as 7.
I would be greatful for any help. Thanks.

it doesn't matter when you deactivate and then uninstall because it's only on one computer now.
to install on your new computer, download the installation files (if you don't have them) and activate using your serial number.

  • Unable to download and activate Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.

    My old mac is being replaced with a new mac and unfortunately, it seems like I will have to repurchase the programs I was using.
    I have a disc for Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0, and purchased an upgrade years ago for Elements 6.0. The download for the version 6.0 is no longer available. I contacted support and they informed me that my only option was to purchase an upgrade.
    It is very frustrating to me that I cannot continue to use the programs I was using on my old computer. Any suggestions?

    No, sorry. There was an Australian site that had the PSE 6 trial for a while, but that wouldn't help you either, since back then you couldn't enter a serial number into the trial version. If you didn't save your original installation media, I'm afraid you're stuck. Neither Adobe nor ProDesign make PSE 6 available as a download, probably since it would be more trouble for them than it's worth, since hardly anyone bought downloads back then and serial numbers from the disc version won't work in a download for PSE 6 and vice versa, so they'd have dozens of people complaining that there was  something wrong.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements V9 to new computer?

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements V9 at my home Windows7 computer. I bought home a new Windows 8.1 computer and I need to use the software in this new computer. Can I install the same licence to the new or what to do?

    Hi! Thanks for your aswers!
    I have  now found 2 compatibility information about Photoshop Elements V9 and Windows 8.1
    - Adobe: only versions 12 -13 are competible with W8.1 (System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements )
    - Microsoft: V9 is compatible with W8.1 ( Windows 8.1 compatibility for Adobe Photoshop Elements version 9)
    so ??
    If V9 is compatible with W8.1, can I install the SW without uninstalling it from my W7-Computer?

  • I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer.  How can I make it find the HP printer?

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows 7. I need to re-install it because my computer crashed. I saved the outer box, but I do not see a serial number and it is asking for it when I am trying to install the CD software. I went online, but the only serial number I see is when I registered the Photoshop Elements 2.0.

    The serial number will be on the disc case, not the outer box.  Find your serial number quickly

  • I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 for a Mac and trying to install. I am at the point to enter the serial number but it won't take letters. What do I do and where do I go for help?

    If the code you are trying to enter has letters then you are not looking at a serial number.  A serial number only contains numbers - 6 sets of 4 numbers.

    You might be dealing with a redemption code.  This is especially so if you purchased it from a store or the like.

  • I just bought a adobe photoshop elements 12 for windows in the store , why the serial number on the box is invalid ?

    i just bought a adobe photoshop elements 12 for windows in the store , why the serial number on the box is invalid ?

    Hi,
    Does your serial number have 24 digits starting with 1057?
    Note: Please don't quote your number as this is a public forum
    If your number is not like that it may be a redemption code. See if the following helps.

    If you need help in finding a serial number inside the box, please see here
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html
    If you still need help, then you will have to contact Adobe. Look at the end of the page I first gave and you should see "Still need help" - click on that.
    Good luck

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

    I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

  • Uninterrupted useage of my legally purchased and registered Adobe Photoshop elements 10 software.

    Good afternoon,
    This IS not the first complaint of this nature (as it has happened to me once before, with an older version of the Adobe Photoshop software).
    I have been the legal and registered owner of this software (Adobe Photoshop Elements 10) for over 2 years.  In the past few weeks, each time I try to use my software, I am prompted in every instance to use my software, that an unusual request to treminate this operation has been recorded and that Adobe Photoshop 10 has become unresponsive .... with NO explanation offered.  Naturally Windows has no interest in restricting my usage of a software which I paid for and duly registered when I installed it.
    I have been an Adobe Photoshop Elements registered supporter/user for years (starting with Version 7).  Since NO legitimate reason is known for this unexplained harrasment, I am left with no other alternative but to register a complaint.  In the previous instance when this identical intrusion happened, after I investigated the reason behind such obstruction of service to a software which I was a legitimate and registered owner of, I was advised that I had more than one copy installed.
    When does Adobe intend to join the rest of us in the 21st. centry and realize that most likely the majority of their customers run more than one hard drive in their PC cases, and that as a back-up precaution, the same software might be installed on the back up hard drive as well, (and still in the only PC case the owner has)?
    I would respectfully request that this harrasment be discontinued IF us, "your customers", are expected to continue supporting the future Photoshop Elements releases.  It is NOT our fault, that Adobe seems to be legally behind the times?  
    The courtesy of a response and correction of this ongoing unjustified interruption of services would be the minimum reaction that would serve as a sign of good faith and proper cutomer rights recognition? 
    Regards,
    Wing Rider 11.

    Hello Thomas,
    *I have worked with people whose first language was NOT, English as it also
    is not mine, but I have been here in Canada 59 years, so I had some time to
    get better at it.*
    *Thank You for your suggestion.  In frustration with this endlessly
    stubborn process, I completely removed the software and re installed it all
    over again, it seems to be working as it used to be before my problems
    started some weeks ago.  Here it is now 5:42 PM in the early evening. it
    becomes dark after 6:30 PM in our area, but here it is a comfortable +13 C,
    which is probably a lot cooler than where you are.*
    Best wishes to YOU,
    Frank/Wing Rider 11

  • How can I download / install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for Mac?

    My husband bought me Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for me as a gift, but for windows when I have a Mac.  I have the license number, but I need a mac download file.  How can I go about getting one?

    He bought it through Amazon as a download for windows. Therefore, I fear the download and/or license can only be used for windows.  I want to download PE9 for Mac and enter the license key to confirm, however, but I can't find a free download.  I thought the cost was associated with the license key and not the download, apparently I am wrong.
