I dont want to upgrade to elements!

Every time I open photoshop CS4 (having had it for years) a window opens asking me for the serial number in order to upgrade to elements.  I dont want to upgrade and I no longer have the serial number anyhow.  How can I stop this window appearing each time I open photoshop?
thank you!

Okay, now I have to ask some REALLY basic questions:
You did buy Photoshop, right?
At any point after your purchase, did you enter the serial number from the media you got from Adobe?
Assuming you did, it sounds as though Photoshop now has some problem with its licensing setup, and that it's running as a demo for you - which is not good.  Sooner or later it may expire.
I think I'd next advise going to the following page and running the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool, and if that doesn't work I'd call Adobe support.

  • I currently own Elements 10 for PC and want to upgrade to Elements 12 for MAC.  Is there a MAC version?

    I currently own Elements 10 for PC and want to upgrade to Elements 12 for MAC.  Is there a MAC version?

    Yes there is a Premiere Elements 12 Mac.
    Premiere Elements versions are standalone programs. So you would be purchasing a new program with its serial number.
    Upgrade typically goes to a price break if you have a prior version of Premiere Elements and you purchase from Adobe Sales direct.
    Years ago, a user could purchase at a local retailer and get "rebate from Adobe" based on having an earlier version. I have not seen that anymore (for years).
    Remember Premiere Elements 10 Windows projects do not work in Premiere Elements Mac (any version) and the other way around also.
    Also Premiere Elements Mac does not have all the attributes that Premiere Elements Windows has. One example, if you work with green screen, know that Premiere Elements Mac does not have the Green Screen Key, Blue Screen Key, or Chroma Key Effects.
    Please let us know if we have targeted your question.
    Thank you.

  • I only want to upgrade to Elements 10 if it's 64-bit

    I only want to upgrade to Elements 10 if they provide a 64-bit version, is it in the available download?

    Thanks for the input (and my new PC has plenty of memory to leverage the new headroom).  With a little more research I found the answers to my original post.  Thanks for the other posts I saw, too.
    One thing encountered with the version 10 upgrade was problems with my HDRPhotomatix.  Part of its functionality stopped working after the upgrade.  I reinstalled and all was back as it should be.  I guess the new Adobe upgrade stepped on some shared component.  Thought I should mention it.
    Thanks all.

    You get past it by connecting to iTunes.
    Please read Chapter 2.

  • Hi, My i photo library is not opening up. What should I do? I have version 9.1 i photo 11. I dont want to upgrade to a higher version because I havent backed up m data.

    hi, My i photo library is not opening up when I click it. What should I do? I have version 9.1 i photo 11. I dont want to upgrade to a higher version because I havent backed up my data. Just need support on how to open it up.

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I have elements 11 on my mac and want to upgrade to elements 13 but it seems that the elements 13 upgrade is only for windows.  Is there a mac edition to this upgrade?

    I have elements 11 on my mac and want to upgrade to elements 13 but it seems that the elements 13 upgrade is only for windows.  Is there a mac edition to this upgrade?

    Yes, certainly, but if you're in the US I would just download the trial and use that for now, since there will be plenty of deals on the full version come the start of the holiday shopping season, especially at places like amazon and big box stores. Usually for much less than adobe's upgrade price.

  • How can i stop the started process of downloading ios 8 on my ipad air?plz tell me i dont want to upgrade.

    i have apple ipad air 32gb ,ios 7.0.3 , by mistake i have started the process of update on ios 8 , how can i stop this ? plz tell me.

    The replies don't address the question: "I started getting bombarded with requests to upgrade to Firefox 5.0. This goes on all day, all night...it never stops. Is there a place I can ask you guys to please stop?"
    I have the same problem: I also don't want to upgrade to 5.0 (4.0 messed me up enough and I finally got that straightened out). How do I stop those annoying requests? It should have a "No" option.
    Please email replies to [email protected] Thanks.

  • I dont want to upgrade to 3.x but now my apps won't work

    Hi. I have an iTouch 32GB with 2.2.1. I'm happy with it the way it is and I see no benefit to upgrading to 3.x OS and paying for it at that.
    My problem is the new Facebook app requires 3.x OS on my iTouch. I originally had the previous version, but I suppose iTunes upgraded my Facebook app automatically (?? - totally guessing about that but it now requires 3.x).
    There are a number of other apps that now won't sync because of my OS.
    Is there any way to fix this? I'd really like the old Facebook App back...
    thanks.

    ... if the features of 3.x aren't features I use, why must I pay for it? It just doesn't make sense to me.
    What?
    If the App now requires OS 3.0 and you want to use it, then surely it has features that you want to use, doesn't it?
    Either the developer believes that OS 3.0 allows them to introduce features that improve their App (whether you use them or not), or (less likey but still possible) they use OS 3.0 to to fix a bug and I'd rather have an App with a feature that causes it to _not crash_ than to crash!
    It's not as if the upgrade to OS 3.0 costs that much. It's called progress and if we didn't have progress, then there would be no iPod!

  • About to buy the EA4500 dont want to upgrade to cloud firmware

    Hi , im about to buy a Linksys EA4500 router. Ive been reading that there is a forced update.And i would have to use the cloud. If i brought the EA4500 and connected it to my pc but did not connect it to my modem for internet access. And then went to the web interface.Is there an option to disable automatic updates Ie manual upgrade and untick upgrade automatically on the firmware option that comes out of the boxed EA4500?
    Thx in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi! If you want to disable the automatic update, all you have to do is to access the advanced settings page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of a browser. It will try to guide you with the setup process, but you can skip it (you will see a link to skip the setup). If it asks for for the local access login, use 'admin'. Click the connectivity tab on the left. Once the window will open, you will see a checked box for 'Automatic' under firmware update. Uncheck the box and click Apply. BTW, even if the router has the cloud firmware, you can always choose to access it locally and not via cloud. 

  • Help!  I dont want to upgrade my PS ..Will my new laptop take PS4?

    ...and where can I get PS4 nowadays?  I know it..and love it..and that's that  Hmmph!   I have a Macbook Pro  10.10.1 OSx Yosemite

    Download CS4 products
    You might wanna reconsider your plan, though. There are notable compatibility issues with CS4 on Yosemite and working may not be a pleasurable experience at all.

  • Which version do I need to upgrade to Elements 10.

    If I want to upgrade from Elements 7 to Elements 10, can I buy the full version or do I need the Upgrade version to be able to read all my information (tags, catagories, edits)?  I can find the full version for less $ than the Upgrade version. Thanks.

    Thanks for the info! Interesting that the Full version can be found cheaper than the Upgrade. Good to know there is not some kind of catch that would come back and bite me ( like not being able to access my photo info: tags and edit info).

  • Apparently my Mac is too old now to sync with newer products. How do upgrade the software/hardware so i can keep up to date. I love my mac and dont want to buy a new one. Is it possible?

    Help! I am struggling and im really not a wizz with technology. I must have missed the morph into the new world! I have a macbook (i think!) and i found that im still running off the version 10.5.8. I have just plugged in my new ipad, and tried to get it synced with Itunes and it said i needed a newer version.
    Am i able to upgrade to a newer version and if so, how do i do it...i really dont want to throw out this computer because it is awesome...can someone please help me?

    To be able to connect with the devices that need a newer version of iTunes, you are first going to need to upgrade you OS X.  To do this from where you are at, first you need to make sure that your computer meets the minimum requirements for OS X Snow Leopard which you can find here http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 and then after verifying that it can, you then need to order the Snow Leopard CD from Apple to do the upgrade.  You can purchase the CD from them for $19.99 and when it gets to your house, you can insert the CD in the drive and press the "C" key while booting your computer.  Then you'll get the install wizard from the CD which will give you directions you need to install Snow Leopard on your computer.  After getting that installed, make sure you update the software on your computer and it will get you what you need to be able to Sync your devices.  After you get Snow Leopard installed, if you wanted to go further you could then upgrade to 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion if your computer can handle those as well, and you can do that right from the App Store that will be available to you from Snow Leopard and you don't have to order a CD for those.

  • I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

    I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this.  You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts.  Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.
