Photoshop Elements 8: why too many activations? [was:activation]

Recently had new computer and the man that set it up for us loaded on our photoshop elements 8, the old computer was dumped, so is no longer in use. However when I try to use the programme it tells me that I have too many activations on it. I am not aware that this programme is in use on any other computer, please advise

The folks at that link will usually just tell you that PSE 8 is no longer supported. You need activation support, so go here:

and most times you'll see a place to start a chat session and get it taken care of right away.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 On Too Many Computers?

    I have had program on my laptop for a long time.  It is also on my desktop.
    Although I use the laptop infrequently, when I opened program, Adobe warning appeared that I was installed on two other computers already and to deactivate.  It is only on my desktop and on my laptop.
    What do I do?

    You need to contact Adobe directly. You may be able to get a chat session now.

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    For PSE 9, the update process was best using a manual method.
    Are you trying to do Help - Updates?
    If so try these downloads (fand follow the manual instructions given on the pages.

  • Photoshop Elements UI font too small on high-resolution display

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased a Dell XPS15 laptop with a QHD+ (3200x1800) display. The PC is running Windows 8.1. I have also purchased Photoshop Elements 12 to run on it.
    With the display at the native resolution, it is necessary to have the "Change the size of all items" option in the display settings of Windows 8.1 set to "Larger", in order for the native Windows fonts and UI elements to be at a reasonable size. The laptop came with this option enabled by default.
    However, disappointingly the UI font size in Photoshop Elements is way too small when the display is at the native resolution. The application is basically unusable.
    I have tried setting the "Use system font" option in the General preferences, but this doesn't seem to help.
    The only way I can get the Photoshop Elements UI font to a reasonable size, is by dropping the screen resolution (to say 1920x1080).
    This seems like a terrible waste of a beautiful screen, particularly when my main reason for using the PC is for editing photos, and my photo management and editing software is preventing me exploiting the full resolution of the display.
    I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately there is no option in PSE to vhange the UI fonts (other than switching to System Font' in preferences. So traditionally changing the Windows display font size has been the only workaround, and even that can cause problems with individual menus disappearing and being replaced with a hard to spot  >> drop-down menu.
    If you have a dual-display system you could have the menus on the lower resolution screen with images on the hi-res.
    Cheers,
    Neale

  • I have a new computer and I am trying to find a link to download photoshop elements premier 11 the link I was sent by the tech only shows what I need...what I need is an actual download button

    I have a new computer and I am trying to find a link to download photoshop elements premier 11 the link I was sent by the tech only shows what I need...what I need is an actual download button

    This is actually the Photoshop forum. Premiere Elements forum is here
    Premiere Elements
    I assume you realise that 11 is not the current version, which is now up to 12
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements&loc=us
    And if yes, that you had 11 installed on your last computer?   Did that come on a disk or download?  If disk, have you now lost that disk?
    If yes, and you registered your software, log on to your Adobe account, and find My Orders (or similar).  You may find the download link and your serial number there.

  • In Photoshop Elements (13) - why can't the filters be downloaded all at once?

    In Premiere Elements, the effects can be downloaded all at once - it takes awhile but it's convenient.   Why not the same for Photoshop Elements?  I think it used to work the same way in previous versions.

    Hi Jeff,
    Well the question remains – why, in this version, can’t they be downloaded all at once instead of one at a time.  Sure, I don’t need ALL the filters at the outset, but it’s nice to just be able to get it done.    On the CD/DVD version... well... that was then, this is now.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 for Windows 7 PC.  Activation Issue

    I have Photoshop Elements 12. I deactivated from my wife's MAC and want to install on my Windows 7 PC. Adobe says I have already used my redemption code to get the serial number. I can't seem to find the serial number to activate the new installation.

    Both of my products from Adobe do not show up under my Account ID:
    Adobe Pro Win XI  (downloaded)
    Adobe Elements 12 (boxed)
    I have the redemption code for Elements, but Adobe says I have already used it for obtaining serial.  I de-activated program from the Mac so I do not have the serial no.  Not sure what to do.
    My Adobe Pro is working just fine, but I have not been able to locate the serial no. I do have the serial key from when I downloaded which I tried to use to register, but this was not valid. Not a problem now but may be in future.  Paid $150 for the download.
    Is there any phone support to get these problems resolved???  Thanks

  • Start up Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 - why does it stall at "restoring people recognition data" 42%

    I just downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 & Adobe Premiere Elements 11 (Windows,English). When it starts up it stalls at the dialogue box "restoring people recognition data" 42%.
    I have to close the program then the whole thing happens again.
    Pretty frustrating for $150............... to upgrade from Elements 8

    This seens to be a problem of Media Analysis which generally arises if there are too many/too large assets in your catalog.
    Just try the following steps:-
    1. Go to Edit->Preferences->Media Analysis
    2  Go to People Recognition options
    3. Uncheck the "Analyse Photo for People recognition".
    4. Press "OK"

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update - There was an error downloading

  • Help does not work in photoshop elements 12, WHY??

    I just installed photoshop elements 12, none of the selections under HELP will work, I keep getting a message that “there was an error launching the default browser and to reinstall elements. I have done this 3 times and installed updates, HELP still does not work. I called customer support and was told I would have to pay to get support with defective software????  How do I get the help functions to work?  John Borden

    Perhaps the problem is with your browser. If this is a windows machine, maybe you have changed the default browser to FireFox, Chrome or something else and maybe you have modified the browser with add-ons, etc. If so, what I would do is load Internet Explorer and update it; then I would go into the browser's settings and mark is as the default browser. Close it and reboot the machine. Then try the Help file links again and see what happens. If this doesn't work, I don't know what else to suggest, at the moment. My default browser is FireFox and it works OK with PSE 12, but what works on one computer doesn't necessarily mean it will work on another. Good luck.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 Icons too small

    After recently installing Photoshop Elements 13 onto my new Dell laptop, all the icons are rather small, yet they show they are at the largest size.  When taking a photography class and we uploaded a RAW photo, the instructions were too tiny to read and I had to use a magnifying glass to read them.  Anyone have this problem before?

    Have you used Help>Updates from within the pse 13 editor to get the 13.1 update?
    After that in the pse 13 editor you can go to Edit>Preferences>Display & Cursors and set the UI Scale Factor to Large-200%.
    Then restart the pse 13 editor for the setting to take effect.
    Also, you might want to install the 13.1.1 update, which fixes some bugs in the pse 13 organizer:

  • Photoshop Lightroom 3.2 (too) many folders

    Hello,
    For some time I have an issue on lightroom 3.
    I have a network volume subfolder wich contains 60000 (75GB) photo's in 5000 folders.
    If I import the "bunch" of pictures, it seems to work but I cannot see al te folders. The structure is : 1 folder containing almost all the subfolders one level lower, thus no many directory levels but many folders "aside" each other.
    If i trie ro reimport one subfolder (from the ones I cannot see) lightroom marks me that the folders are already imported. I already tried to start with a fresh catalog, but this gives no relief.
    Also my lightroom sometimes crashes, I always send an error report.
    My system is Win XP SP3.
    Please help me, I find if I buy such a high level program that it his to do the job ...
    Olivier

    Just few thoughts that came to my mind.
    Lightroom had (still has?) a "feature" in windows version that it couldn't show keyword lists which had more than 1300+(?) keywords visible (rest were just truncated. Keywords worked normally but couldn't be seen in a keyword panel), because some insane (windows?) restriction that panels could be only certain amount of pixels long. Only solution was to build keyword hierarcy which didn't show too many keywords at once.
    Could same "feature" affect folders view?
    Are missing folders at the end of your folder list?

  • I have photoshop elements,i wanted to edit videos,was offered 30day trial of the premiere version

    after downloading,i had to resart my laptop.when i tried to open photoshop elements now,it takes ages to load and when it does,is very unresponsive.i have since found out that my original version has gone and am being promted on screen that i will need to pay for the premeire version when the 30days is up.when downloading the premiere trial version,i was not warned this would happen and that my verrsion of elements would be lost.
    any help?
    richard

    Just a further clarification: Premiere Elements doesn't mean fancy deluxe PSE. Just as Photoshop Elements is the consumer version of Adobe's professional photo editing program, called Photoshop, Premiere Elements is the consumer version of Adobe's professional video editing program, Premiere.
    Photoshop Elements is only for editing still photos, not movies.

  • Photoshop elements 12 purchased but stating it was a trial membership

    I recently purchased this photoshop element 12 and adobe premiere.  Yesterday it stopped working stating my "trial period" had expired.   How do I get it working again.

    Did you enter the serial numbers when installing the products? Have you 'signed in' with your Adobe ID when first running the programs?
