How do I activate Photoshop Elements 8.0 on a new computer after breakdown of the old computer?

How do I activate Photoshop Elements 8.0 on a new computer after breakdown of the old computer (hard disc failure). Adope does not realize that I can not use this old computer anymore. I do not want to buy a new lizence.

If you mean you are getting a warning about having too many activations, you need to contact activation support:

There's usually a place in that window where you can start a chat session and get it straightened out right then.

  • How do i activate Photoshop elements 12

    apparently my photoshop elements 12 isn't activated and i literally just bought it tonight from walmart because that was the only place open late at night, and as i am installing it and it asks for the serial number, i go through the steps to redeem the serial number and when i click enter it says that my product isn't activated.  is there anyway to activate it through you guys? or will i have to go all the way back to walmart to activate it?

    I would expect WalMart needs to scan a barcode on the product at checkout (not self-checkout).  Maybe this wasn’t done, or maybe the information wasn’t transmitted in a timely manner.
    This is a user-to-user forum so we cannot do anything with activation of a product.
    You might try returning to WalMart or contacting Adobe Customer Service via chat.

  • How do I activate Photoshop Elements 10 even though the latest version is version 12.

    I have an unused key for Photoshop Elements 10 that I want to use.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • How do I install Photoshop Elements 7 on a laptop without  a CD drive, and the prouduct code comes up as already registered?

    I got Elements 7 with a Bamboo tablet a few years back. I installed it on a computer, but have recently gotten a new laptop without a CD drive to insall it with. Upon registering the code given with the CD online, I was told that the product has been registered. I filled out the registration form with the same email as my Adobe account. How do I go about installing it on my new computer?

  • How do I put Photoshop Elements 5.0 on my new Windows 8 computer without using the disk?

    I just bought a new PC with Windows 8. I have an old disk for Photoshop Elements 5.0 and would like to use that so that I don't have to spend more $,if possible. First of all, is it compatible? Second, how do I put it on my computer? I tried searching for downloads, and I have the serial number to enter, but I can't find how to do so. Thanks!

    You say you have the pse 5 disk?
    I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
    Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
    Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
    You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives.

  • How can I transfer my bookmarks to a new computer without syncing, since the old computer is trashed and cannot connect?

    That's it. I need my bookmarks. But that computer is never going to connect to the internet again. Remember when we didn't assume interconnectivity of every damn thing? This is how the cyclons are going to win.
    Any help out there?

    Assuming that old PC still boots up, see this: <br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
    If it won't boot up, you might be able to install the old hard drive into a USB hard drive enclosure and connect the old drive as an external drive.

  • How do I activate photoshop elements 13

    I have signed in over and over and accepted the license agreement and it still says "Sign in required to activate software"  As of yet, I have been unable to use my newly purchased PS13. I was able to create an album but I am unable to do anything with it until I "activate"  please advise.
    Thank you!

    You can upgrade from any version--it's just a discount on the price and even PSE 1 would qualify. However, if you're in the US you can probably get the full version for way less than the upgrade if you shop around on Fri.

  • Moving Photoshop Elements and Organizer to a new PC (after HDD failure)

    Hi all,
    My PC died recently, and suddenly. Thankfully I had a drive backing everything up so I have a complete mirror of my harddrive on an external drive. I have now bought a new PC and have installed PSE9 (with PE9 and Organizer) onto it.
    I would like to be able to rebuild all my catalogs and albums, and have all my keywords etc, in my new installation, using the files I have in my back-up drive. There are thousands of photos, going back about 10 years, and it took about three solid weeks to tag them all and fix their dates etc.  Can someone please tell me which files I need to copy over into my new installation, and where they should go? The drive names on my new machine will probably be different to the ones I used on my old machine, but beneath that all files are in the same folder structure as they were on my old (now dead) machine. The dead machine ran Vista, and I'm now on Win7.
    Please let me know if there's any further information I need to provide.
    Thanks in advance.

    Where I am not clear is why a full drive backup (that includes a copy of the catalog, using a 3rd party drive backup tool) led to a situation where the catalog info could not be completely restored to a new PC.
    Let's have a look at the result of the complete restoration of a drive.
    - Case one : There has been a mirror copy on the second drive
    - case two : you have a clone of your disk (I supose it's uptodate at the time of crash...)
    In both cases:
    The media files are all identical.
    The catalogs are identical.
    But... there is a difference.
    A cloning utility is also able to restore the original drive serial number used by Windows to recognize the different drives.
    In the mirrored drive, the serial number is different from the original one.
    the catalog contains for each media file:
    - the full path : root folder/subfolder 1/sub-subfolder... file name with extension.
    - the identification of the drive (serial number plus drive letter)
    When the Organizer reads the data in the catalog and wants to access a file via the operating system, it will find all files in the clone, and all files in the the mirrored version will be missing. Then you need to reconnect as mentionned in a previous post. And that's a lot of painful work
    So, assuming your mirrored version is strictly ok, the catalog is fooled by the change of drive serial number. You can either have Windows to assign the old serial number or use an sqlite management software to edit that information in the database : catalog.psexxdb.
    What I don't know is if the background processes in charge of the accessory jobs of the Organizer (watched folders, face recognition, autoanalysis...) will be correctly restored in a crash situation. So you might lose some information or have to wait for the Organizer to rebuild some of the missing information.
    My suggestion to backup also the catalog was to avoid a situation where the user has a syncing software in charge of the media folders only. You are right that the catalog was also backed up in the case of the original poster.

  • I am using Adobe Photshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.

    I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.. How do I get them back?

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    The date & Time can be displayed by going to the View menu and checking Details - also File Names if you want them displayed.
    The Album information is saved within the catalog so it sounds as though you didn't do a catalog backup on the old computer and a catalog restore on the new computer which is the recommended way of transferring elements data. Did you just copy the photos over?
