How can I deactivate Photoshop Elements 5.0 on hard drive that will not boot?

I have Elements 5.0 loaded on a hard drive which will no longer boot. I have a new hard drive and can access the old drive as an extra internal hard drive. I cannot use Photoshop, so I was thinking I need to deactivate the copy loaded on the old hard drive and reload it on the new hard drive. Is this the best solution? If so, how do I deactivate? When I start up the editor, it does not have an option for deactivating as I read about in another post. Under the help menu, there is a grayed out option for Registration. After a few seconds, a window appears saying there is a problem with my serial number and the application closes.  Also, I would like to load Photoshop on a laptop later, so I do not want to waste one of my allowable loads. I would appreciate any help.

Yes, as long as you don't have it on more than two computers at once you're in compliance with the license. (Back in the days of PSE 5 adobe worked more on the honor system.)

  • I have so many photos I only have 1G of memory left.  How can I move the photos to my external hard drive that is connected to my iMac?

    I have so many photos on my Mac I only have 1G of memory left.  How can I move the photos to the external hard drive that is plugged into my iMac.

    1GB? It's a miracle your Mac is running at all!
    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How can I deactivate Photoshop Elements 12 on my current computer so that I can re-install it on a new computer ?

    Photoshop Elements 12 is currently installed on a a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with Windows 7 64 bits and I wish to deactivate it in order to re-install it on a much bigger/powerful machine.
    I found no indication whatsoever on Adobe site for this question. The chain of questions on the site keeps taking me round and round until I reached this forum, which is where I started from !!!
    Can somebody tell me how this can be done ?
    Please DO NOT tell me to follow the path of questions until I get somewhere : this is juest what I have been doing for half an hour !!!

    Many thanks Brian !
    Quick reply, simple process (two clicks). Why is it so difficult to find the answer ? Too simple ?
    As a matter of fact it is a question of vocabulary : “sign out” and “deactivate” is NOT AT ALL  the same thing (I’ve been  for many years an editor of English versions of international standards and regulations, and happen to know what words mean ). All the more as I have just discovered in the “Uninstall” process that the word “deactivate” is used https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/uninstall-premiere-elements-photoshop-elemen ts.html
    In French (my language), the Help menu reads “Deconnecter” which means something like “exit” or “sign out”. For me it meant either “leave the programm” or “disconnect from the help service”. Anyhow, it’s not an option you would use not knowing what the result would be : there is no suspension point on that line.
    And the Help answer on Adobe’s site (in French) reads :
    “Si vous souhaitez installer le logiciel sur un troisième ordinateur, désactivez-le sur l’ordinateur sur lequel vous n’allez plus l’utiliser. Ensuite, activez le logiciel sur le nouvel ordinateur.”
    It does not use the word in the menu (déconnecter = disconnect).
    Approximations like this could be a matter of life and death . In a french movie dramatizing the war in Algeria “L’honneur d’un Capitaine”, soldiers uphill in the mountains radio their captain – in the valley - to let him know they have captured the man they were looking for. He just says “Descendez-le”, which means “bring him down” or “Shoot him”. He meant of course “Bring him down”. The man was shot to death.
    It looks like no one on the forum know the real answer. Do you think you could help correct this ? A simple phrase like : “check (or look up) uninstall process” would do.
    Regards

  • How can I run Photoshop Elements4 with Windows7. The operating system will not open and run it.

    My New computer has windows 7 installed, and it will not open and run my photoshop elements 4  programme. Do I need an upgrade, or can it be run in any other format on this computer.

    Did it install and you're just getting errors trying to run it? If so, try clicking on your Start button. Then, go to All Programs, find the entry for Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and "right click" on it. Select Properties, and in the Properties dialogue click the Compatibility Tab and try running it in XP Compatibility mode and see if it works that way.
    If not, then it is really not compatible. Just buy the latest (Photoshop Elelments 9) while they offer $40 mail-in rebate (Ends January 5, 2011)

  • How to OPEN downloaded Photoshop Elements 10 on my hard drive disc?

    PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 10 DOWNLOADED ONTO MY HARD DRIVE DISC BUT DOES NOT SHOW AS ONE OF THE PROGRAMS ON MY COMPUTER AND I CAN NOT OPEN IT SO THAT I CAN USE IT...
    WHAT TO DO?

    Thank you for your support, Jeff!
    Had to download again and this time did not have any problems in opening it.
    I do feel frustrated with the uninspiring gray background of this software
    and a few other things and would like to switch to some other software that
    is more for DESIGNING than for fixing and editing photos.
    For instance, which software would have the ability to create greeting
    cards of my own, not just by attaching
    photos to previously designed cards?
    Many thanks,
    Liliana Mahadevi

    How can I use photoshop Elements 8 to make a DVD that will show on a regular TV-DVD set-up

    You can't do this in PSE by itself. I'm assuming you have windows, so output your slideshow as a wmv file and then use Premiere Elements to finalize the disc, if you have that. If not, use whatever you do have (if you can burn DVDs, you have software). Even windows dvd maker will do this.

  • How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

    How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

    The D3200 requires at least ACR 7.1, which isn't compatible with any version of PSE prior to PSE 11, so no, you can't do this directly in PSE 9.
    You could upgrade PSE, use the Nikon software to convert the files and then open the resulting images into PSE for further editing, or download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEFs to DNG files that your version of PSE can understand.
