Photoshop Elements 7 Deactivation?

I'm trying to deactivate Photoshop Elements 7 on my old computer so that I can load it onto my new computer. When I go to the Help Menu in either the Organizer or Ediort I do not find a Deactivation selection. Please tell me how to do the deactivation/activation. This production was downloaded so I do not have any disks however, I do have the serial number. Thanks! \Sue Goldstein

Thanks for your response, Jeff, but the problem has been solved thanks to
an Adobe Chat Session on Sunday. I was using Photoshop Elements 7 on
Windows but did not have the disks as I purchased a downloadable version in
2009. With the help of the Chat person I was able to download it again from
the web onto my new computer as there was no way to deactivate/activate
that version. Everything is working fine now. Thanks again for your
response.

Trouble Deactiving Photoshop Elements 8.0

I am having trouble deactiving my Photoshop Elements 8.0 from my old computer. I get the message "Unable to Connect..." yet I can connect to the internet, I have turned my firewall off, there are no proxy servers running on my computer. Can anyone help me with this issue?

contact adobe support, http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Do I need an account to place Photoshop elements on a new computer after deactivating or will the serial number suffice?

PSE only requires a serial number.

Need help Deactivating Photoshop Elements 9 on old computer

Okay, so, here we go.
Originally I had Elements 9 installed on my old computer, but that computer suffered a massive hardware failure and I am unable to deactivate Elements 9 on it.
On this computer I am currently using I have Elements 9 on it as well.
However, I have a new computer that I would like to have Photoshop Elements 9 on, but cannot due to having two active instances of the program on 2 other computers.
I have tried deactivating the program on this computer, but am unable to do so due to Photoshop.com no longer being supported and moved over to Adobe Revel, so I am unable to SIGN IN TO DEACTIVATE THE PRODUCT ON THIS COMPUTER.
I've PAID for this product. I don't want to have to pay fistfuls of money just for an updated version I don't even like, I want my PSE9.
Does anyone know of any way that I could deactivate the program so that I may use the activation key on my new computer instead? Because it's 2 days from no longer working.
I've tried contacting an Adobe agent through live chat, but I sat there for at least an hour with nobody ever showing up in the chat.
I just want to continue using the program I PAID FOR. This is ridiculous. I can't even USE one of the computers it'[s activated on any longer, and this current computer is so old that PSE9 lags on it when I try to draw something.

Only the adobe agents can do this. You will just have to tough it out with the chat session.

Deactivating Photoshop Elements 8 on an old (dead) computer

I'm trying to install Photoshop 8 on a second computer. I get a message saying that I already have two copies installed and have to deactivate one. In fact, I have only one copy installed, but I had originally installed it on an older computer, which I replaced in 2011 because the hard disk failed.
The Photoshop Elements support page indicated that I had to start a chat about this problem, but the chat window pointed me back to the support page. I also saw a page that said I could deactivate a copy on a computer I no longer had access to from within the program itself on the computer I did have access to. However, I don't see how to do this. There is a "Deactivate" link under "Help", but it only allows me to deactivate the copy on the computer I'm using.
How can I deactivate this original copy, when it's on a computer that hasn't been usable for two years?

We've been having internet problems, so I dropped this Photoshop thing for a while. I thought my problem had been resolved, but the solution didn't really work. I tried to install Photoshop on the second computer. I got a message saying I already had two copies installed. There was a link to click to indicate that I had deactivated one copy, which I clicked. Then there was a message saying that Adobe would be contacted to verify my number of copies. After a short pause, the message was that I could use this copy only for a certain number of days, I think 15.
I'll try the chat again and hope to get it working this time.

Deactivating Photoshop Elements 10 on a computer I do not have access to

I recently sold my old Windows laptop without realising I hadn't deactivated Photoshop Elements 10. When I go to activate my product on my new Windows laptop it says I have reached the activation limit. I went onto Adobe Support and it told me to Contact them by clicking a link. I clicked this link and it just took me back to the previous page where I had to enter my product and the problem I had with the activation/deactivation. This is really frustrating as it feels like I'm going around in circles in an attempt to contact Adobe.
This is the first page where I entered my product information: Contact Customer Care
This is the second page, when I click Contact Us it takes me back to the first page: Error "Activation limit reached" or "Sign in failed" | Adobe products
Thanks in Advance

Here is a link for chat support. You may have to wait until after the weekend to get help, but they have the ability to deactivate for machines that are no longer accessible.

Recycled my old Mac without deactivating. How to reinstall Photoshop Elements?

Can someone help me reinstall Photoshop Elements after recycling my old Mac without deactivating?

The problem was probably caused by migrating pse 8 as adobe applications can never be migrated, they need to be reinstalled from the original disk or download or they won't work right.
If you look in Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 is there an uninstaller for pse 8?
If so, try using it and then reinstall pse 8 from your original disk.
If that doesn't work, then you can try this, but you might end up having to run the adobe creative cloud cleaner and then manually delete all the adobe stuff on your computer and starting over with a fresh install of pse 8.

Deactivated Photoshop Elements

I deactivated Photoshop Elements 10 from my old Mac to install it on my new Mac but I don't find the serial number. I bought the CD at Best Buy at least 2 years ago. Is Adobe keeping record of the computers IP so they can see I am not cheating? I would like to be able to use the software on my new laptop. Thanks.

Photoshop Elements Serial Number Deactivation Question

I bought Photoshop Elements 8.0 a few years back and have been using it happily and successfully since. However, I have now run into a serial number activation problem that will not allow me to use the software. The error given is: "Our records indicate that this serial number has already been used to set up and activate Photoshop Elements 8.0 on two other machines, which is the maximum allowed."
Of course, it is simple enough to deactivate a computer if that computer is accessible, but therein lies the problem. One of the two machines that is taking up my activations is my old Macbook, which experienced a total motherboard failure in March 2-13. I restored onto my new Macbook from a Time Machine backup, but when I did so, PSE required me to re-enter my serial number. This was easy enough, but it considers this new Macbook to be a third activation and thus will not allow me to use the software. And, of course, given that my previous Macbook is dead and gone, I cannot access my old Macbook to deactivate the software there.
What can I do to solve this?
Computer specifications: Macbook Pro, 15" (bought 2013). Mac OS X Version 10.8.5. 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 processor with 8 GB of RAM. The software is Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0

Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Activation (Deactivation impossible)

Hello,
I want to activate my Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer. However, I cannot deactivate it on my old computer first, since that computer is broken (I know I can activate it on two computers, but that second activation is already taken by my other computer). What can I do to activate my Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer?
Help is much appreciated.
Anja

Aside from this being the utterly wrong forum, the answer is simple: Call licensing and activation support to reset activations.

Also log in by Amazon and new download the prograsmm and installed and registred with the Serial number.
Upto here everythings was fine. Adobe has accept the Serial number and was running.
Than I Switch out the PC and got to bed. On the next day after starting the PC and Adobe Elements 10
was the Programm still in Order. Apprx. a hour later I see the message on the Screen that Adobe has two Updates.
One for Adopbe Photoshop and one for Adobe Application Manager. Also I get to install both updates. After Updates I must restart
my PC and as I startet Adobe Photoshop I must ne registered the Photoshop program. And that was the Point, where Adobe

And installed only the same programs as before the HDD Crash. No new or other, on the contrary, a few old unnecessary programs I have on this occasion de-installed.

I have read that I need to deactivate and reactivate? my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 once I get my new computer because I can only have one on a computer at one time.
I am however, unsure how to do this.I am also unsure how I would go about getting my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 onto my new computer, daft as that might sound, especially as I will be using windows 8, which I don't have as much knowledge of using as 7.
I would be greatful for any help. Thanks.

it doesn't matter when you deactivate and then uninstall because it's only on one computer now.
to install on your new computer, download the installation files (if you don't have them) and activate using your serial number.
