Photoshop elements 10 won't accept my serial number on mavericks macbook pro just purchased

I just got a new macbook pro and tried to put my old photoshop elements10 on it. I used the student/teacher serial number sent to me by adobe when I purchased that. It installed ok and seems to run all the tutorials but when I try to actually edit it demands my serial number which does not fit in the slots and then says its not good. Since I can't seem to find an adobe contact, I wonder if any Mac users have figured this out.

Like the more expensive big brother Photoshop, PS Elements must be deactivated on an older computer before you erase the drive, or uninstall the app. You can use the serial number twice, but if you forget to do the deactivation, Adobe's servers are still counting that install against you. So if you've already installed it twice along the way, that would be one reason you can't use the number again. See here for some possible help.

    I am unable to reinstall Photoshop CS6 (I do have the serial number) on my Macbook Pro 10.9.5 (Mavericks os). and am getting the message "Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported.  Please choose a different volume for installation."  I am further told that "Adobe apps cannot be installed on case-sensitive drives, you need to Install the product onto an HFS+ or HFSJ non-case-sensitive drive."
    What I don't understand is this:  I originally bought and installed Photoshop CS6 back in March 2013, and it worked fine.  Yesterday my hard drive had to be replaced and my computer person salvaged as much of what was on it as he could, but now I have to reinstall Photoshop.  1) Why did it work before and it's not working now?  2) Is there anything I can do that does not involve reformatting the hard drive?

    It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 won't accept my serial number... How do I fix this?

        I had to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop elements 6 to my Windows 7 computer because the brushes were glitching on me, and now it won't accept my serial number to register it to my computer. I received it from a bundle package when I installed my tablet back in 2008ish. The warning is "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet". I have retyped it several times to make sure I put the right number without any luck either.

  • Won't accept my Serial number PSE11

    I'm trying to install PSE11 on a Windows XP machine.  It won't accept the serial number, I'm sure there is no typo.
    What do I do now?
    Carl

    My copy of PSE11 was already registered but I have installed it on two computers.  I thought that you could have it on 3 if you only used it one at a time.  I see that it is 2, so that is my problem.  I am trying to get an old program to work on an XP computer which will not run on my Windows 8.  The program requires that a copy of photoshop be available on the XP computer. I'll try to install a trial version on the XP so that I can run this test.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Have Adobe Standard CS 5 (Student), and would like to upgrade to Creative Cloud (Non-Student) - won't accept my serial number for special pricing for existing users

    I currently use Adobe Standard CS 5. It was bought with the Education discount. I would like to upgrade to Creative Cloud and see that they have special pricing for existing customers that use past versions of Creative Suite. I am no longer in Education, so I will have to buy a full version. This is fine, but it won't accept my serial number for the discounted pricing. Is there something else I should be doing?

  • I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these?

    I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these? I saw a reply however, it was not my name and assumed it was for someone else. Now timed out. Can UI still have help on this matter please?

    If you registered PSE before, go to the main page of adobe.com, sign in and go to your account and you should find the serial number there in your purchases.
