Photoshop Elements 12 installed on my PC has never worked.

My Photoshop Elements 12, which I installed as an upgrade to Photoshop Elements 11 on my PC running under Windows 8.1 has never worked.  In cannot find a catalog. My Elements 11 worked fine under Windows 7 and still works fine after I upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I have spent hours on the phone with Adobe techs and have had my local PC professionals examine the PC.  They both concluded it is a bug in Windows 8 but if so I do not know to proceed.  Help would be most appreciated.

did you see the confirmation?
if yes, uninstall, run the cleaner and try reinstalling - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
if no, google a youtube video on how to reset preferences.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 Licensing for this product has stopped working.

    Hello,
    I have just done a clean install of Snow Leopard (after wiping my hard disk), then restored my system (without applications) from my Time Capsule. I have then successfully re-installed most of my software.
    However, after re-installing Photoshop Elements 6 from the original DVD, I get the following error message:
    Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time......
    This appears as soon as I attempt to run the program from my Applications folder and Elements closes as soon as I click OK and does not allow me to input my license key.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Philip.

    Hiya Philip M,
    most Adobe products work by the licencing system installing some sort of "correct" answer-code when adobe connects to verify the authenticity of your product. I think, you may have to contact Adobe.
    When I ran Macromedia Dreamweaver, you were able to "transfer licence" (PRIOR to uninstalling from one machine and installing on another), which would send the signal to "free up" the correct (and authentic) licence and then install on your other machine. This facility has been removed (no doubt to protect the product) and I had to pay for a new disk (a bit of a pain); maybe you are luckier but check adobe's help site:

    good luck

  • Problem Photoshop Elements 6 a cessé de fonctionner (has stopped working)

    Bonjour, j'ai récemment du restaurer mon ordinateur à son état initial et j'ai donc dû réinstaller tous mes logiciels, dont Photoshop Elements 6, que j'avais depuis 2 ans et qui fonctionnait à merveille. Une dizaine de jours après l'avoir réinstallé, celui-ci ne fonctionnait plus. Je m'explique : Quand je l'allume, le logiciel s'ouvre, puis une fenêtre "Photoshop Elements 6" blanche s'ouvre, puis un message "Photoshop Elements a cessé de fonctionner". J'ai essayé de désinstaller, puis réinstaller, rien n'y fait. J'ai donc restaurer mon ordinateur a une date antérieure, puis réinstallé, et ça marchait de nouveau. Seulement le problème est revenu au bout de quelques jours... Je désespère, s'il vous plait aidez-moi. Je suis sur un portable windows 7 64 bits.
    Je vais essayer de traduire pour nos amis anglophones (Sorry for the English mistakes...):

  • Suddenly, my Photoshop Elements said "Licensing for this product has stopping working". What should I do?

    It told me to uninstall it and reinstall it, or contact Adobe Customer support for help. Where is Adobe Customer Support? Here?

    Well, kind of. This is the user to user forum. Which version of PSE and which platform?

    I have a packardbell laptop with photoshop elements 8 installed from new. I have used it on several occasions but I cannot get it to run now.  When I open a photo using elements the Adobe box pops up saying that the programme has unexpectedley quit? can anyone help me please as I have several photos to edit before the end of this month. Many thanks for any help

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • I have photoshop elements 11 installed on my desktop pc, I want to install it on my laptop as well, I read that it can be installed on two systems, but I get a message taht the redemption code has been used by another ID, please help

    I have photoshop elements 11 installed on my desktop pc, I want to install it on my laptop as well, I read that it can be installed on two systems, but I get a message taht the redemption code has been used by another ID, please help

    A redemption code can only be redeemed once.  It is used to acquire a serial number. The serial number is what you need to activate the installed software.  If you did not keep the serial number when you first installed, you might still be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

    Hi,
    Can you please share the logs?
    You can use the Adobe  Log Collector tool (Log Collector Tool) and share the corresponding zip file @ [email protected]

  • Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown

    Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown immediately.
    Repeat and crashes again. Help it won't start!

    Solved! Tried everything in the support documents and none of it worked. Massive frustration with Adobe Chat staff who know nothing and just kept telling me to look at the support documents over and over. They also gave me a contact number in Australia that has a recorde d message saying the product is not supported! What is that about?
    Finally Anand from Adobe tech support called me (from when I reopened the original support case that gave me the serial number).
    Just had to rename folder SLCache in c:\program files(x86) and reaccept the EULA and reactive. Now everything works fine. Way to hard.

    I have a Windows copy of Photoshop Elements 11, but the serial number has been lost. I didn't buy the product and I am unable to find the box. As far as I know, it's never been used so has not been registered. Does anyone know how the serial number can be recovered under these circumstances?

    If you never bought the product then you cannot get the serial number.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up

    Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up elements receive message “Some ot the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.” How do I correct this problem without disturbing application in main user account?

    Brooks lansing if you create a new Administrator account does the same issue occur?  If so then it is likely that there is a file permission failure and file permissions have been set for the existing Users instead of the groups they belong to.
    Have you removed and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11?  This may reset the file permissions to the correct state to allow it to work under new accounts.
