How do I upgrade my photoshop elements without registration number?

I was in the process of updating my photoshop elements 8 and the instructions asked me to uninstall. After uninstalling I was unable to reload the program. This product came with my computer 2/2010 and I finally tried to use it yet have no idea where the original CD is. How do I upgrade with no previous program now on my computer...any suggestions?

It sounds like the only proof you have that the software was ever on the machine lies with whomever sold it to you.  You might check with them to see if they have any records that will support you getting an upgrade.
If not, then you should trying contacting Adobe Support either by chat or via phone.
Here are some links to help make contact:

    How can I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 12 to Photoshop Elements 13  AND Photoshop Premiere Elements 13? What would be the price?

    Hi Raymond,
    I would advise you to buy the bundle package of Premiere and Photoshop Elements 13 which cost 149 $ but due to online promotions the price right now is 119 $.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

  • How do I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 11 to PSE 12 (student edition)

    How do I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 11 to PSE 12 (student edition)

    I believe you just need to purchase the upgrade.  I don't think there is any additional discount with upgrade pricing, meaning you don't also get a student version discount with an already discounted upgrade purchase.  As far as versions go, there is no difference between a regular and a student version... the difference is in the licensing.

  • How do I how do I upgrade a Photoshop Elements 13 catalog with Lightroom 5.6 - it only sees the older PE 12 catalog

    How do I upgrade a Photoshop Elements 13 Catalog with Light room 5.6 ? It only sees an older PE 12 Catalog.

    At the moment, you cannot upgrade a PSE13 catalog to Lightroom. Perhaps when Lightroom 5.7 is released, this will be possible (and perhaps not)

  • Hi, how can I upgrade Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

    Hi, how can I upgrade Adobe Photoshop Elements 9? I have Acer with Windows 7

    Well, you could buy the upgrade to PSE 13 from adobe, but most times it's much cheaper to buy the full version from a big box store or online retailer.

  • How can I upgrade my Photoshop Element to the most recent changes. Thank you!

    How can I upgrade my Photoshop Element to the most recent changes. Thank you!

    Hi,
    If you mean "How do you upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 from an earlier version" then you need to buy the new version. There is an upgrade option but if you shop around then you can sometimes buy the full product cheaper. They are both the same product once you have installed them.
    If you install Photoshop Elements 13 on the same system as your old version the you can convert your existing catalog to the new format.
    Note that Photoshop Elements 13 will not work on older operating systems. The 30 day trial version can be downloaded from here

    If you are asking about updating the camera raw in your current version then we need to know which version you want to update. Normally, you can go to the Help menu and select Updates.
    Note that each version has a limit on the version of camera raw that it can use - again we need to know which version you currently have.

  • I upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to 12.  But 12 doesn't include Arno Pro or Rockwell fonts. How do I add them to Elements 12 without paying for them again?

  • Following the recent upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 the shadows/highlights sliders no longer operate. How do I resolve this issue?

    Having installed the recent upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 the shadows/highlights sliders no longer work. How do I resolve this problem?

    Sometimes when problems pop up for no apparent reason it could be that the preferences files had become corrupted. Here are two ways to reset the preferences.
    1. The reset process might be built into your PSE version, as shown in this video:
    How to Reset Photoshop Elements Preferences - YouTube
    2. If your version does not have the reset option,  press and hold Alt-Ctrl-Shift (Option-Command-Shift on Mac) immediately while starting PSE. The timing is critical; you may have to try this several times. A dialog box will pop asking if you want to delete the settings file?  Click  YES.
    Let us know if either of these works for you.

  • How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

    How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

    Well CS5's ship has sailed.
    CS6 can still be purchased on Perpetual License but it's not going to have all the bells & whistles that the current versions have.  Just as long as you understand what you're getting.

  • How do I recover my photoshop elements after hard drive replacement?

    I recently had to replace my main drive on the computer, so I have to reload all my software.  I originally installed photoshop elements 3.0 and still have the CDs and serial number, but cannot install it because it isn't compatable with windows 7.  I had upgraded to 5.0 and have that CD, but it is upgrade only and will not install because it cannot detect an earlier installation.  I do have all the files copied from my previous drive into a directory in the new drive, but the installation of 5.0 didn't find what it needed, even when I gave it the correct directory.
    How do I get my photoshop elements back on my computer?
    Thanks!

    You should not need to reinstall Elements 3 at all. Upgrade disks contain the full version of the software. The serial numbers tells the installer if you have a full version or an upgrade.
    Just install Elements 5 from the upgrade disk, enter your Elements 5 upgrade serial number then enter your Elements 3 serial number when prompted.

  • How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    I never did it from Windows to Mac.
    I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.
