Photoshop Elements 9 mac license number on windows not working

Hello,
I would like to install Photoshop Elements 9 on my Windows PC, I successfully deactivated Photoshop on my old mac, but the installer on windows keeps telling me that the serial number is invalid.
Thank you
Vito

Suggest that you delete preferences:
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file may be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file. 
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12: dropdown boxes for tools not working properly in Win 8.1

    Elements 12 system requirements are indicated up to Windows 8.  Does that mean it should also work on any Windows 8 upgrades, more specifically 8.1?  The drop-down boxes for the tools are not working properly in the program.  I've installed it, uninstalled it, and installed it again with the same results.  It worked fine on my old computer with Vista.

    Yes PSE12 will work on 8.1
    If problems persist try re-setting the prefs.
    Go to: Edit >> Preferences >> General (Photoshop Elements menu on Mac)
    Click the button Reset Preferences on next Launch

  • Photoshop Elements 11 disc and download will not work

    I have spent 3 days trying to get photoshop 11 to install on my new computer (using windows 8) My disc seems to mysteriously be missing its setup file which makes no sense at all. I have tried using the linkhttp://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre. twice now and followed all the instructions but I still get errors. I need to have this up and running soon as I use it for work as well as personal use. I also am concerned about having downloaded it several times now. Could there be conflicts happening from trying to open and run the files. It is as though some of it starts to open and then fails. I have posted my errors on another post from earlier today and yesterday.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

  • Photoshop Elements (ver 10) - Suddenly tools do not work

    I have used Photoshop Elements (v. 10) for years with no problems.  Suddenly today, 10/18/14 it is all screwed up.  Example:
    I can overlay a text box, on a picture, but then cannot edit it (i.e. point size, type face, color).  Also, cannot copy & paste a small secton of
    a picture.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks.  Took me a while to figure out how to do that.  Then discovered the downward pointing arrow in the upper left-hand corner - reset all tools.  Lo & behold!

  • Photoshop Elements 13 64 bit Topaz filters not working

  • Downloading a Photoshop Elements Mac trial - download/install does not start

    I am attempting to download Elements 10 trial on a Mac Book Pro.  I have turned off my pop up blockers, firewalls, third party blockers, etc...  I downloaded the assistant and once it installs nothing happens.  It disappears out of the dock without downloading Elements.  I tried to download AIR as well as it stated that it may need that downloaded before the assistant could work.  Same thing happened.
    Thank you,

    Invalid Checksum error appears if the download got corrupt which could be due to a bad or slow internet connection.
    You could try temporarily disabling Error Checking. See http://forums.adobe.com/message/4370247#4370247 to see out how.
    If that does not resolve the issue, I woudl recommend using a different internet connection to download again..

  • MAC Photoshop Elements 4- Making Text Smooth Does not work?

    I have tried to search the forums and help maual, but to do avail so I am adding another topic, Although I have anit-aliased on, the text still seems fuzzy, what can I do?

    Did you resize the image after adding the text? Or use the move tool to drag the text larger after simplifying it?
    If not, try deleting prefs: quit PE, then restart while holding down command+shift+option. Say yes when you see the dialog box asking if you want to delete the settings. This won't help existing text, but if there was something wrong with the text tool it should clear it up for new text.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Selection and brush tool not working right

    I have this problem where I select parts of an image I am trying to draw, and I want to fill the selected regions of the image with color but whenever I use the brush or the paint bucket tool to fill it, little tiny regions outside of the selection are also painted, now I am not sure if I don't have the settings right, or if the software is broken. I have attached two screenshots that show the problem, please someone explain to me how I can fix this.

    Also when I am trying to attach images from my computer to a discussion here in the adobe forums I can't because the "insert image" remains greyed out even though I have selected the image file I would like to attach.

    It appears that the selection is not accurate, i.e. the "marching ants" extend beyond the object. If you are using the selection brush for this purpose, on the tool's option bar, you will see icons via which you can add to, or subtract from, the selection.
    Once you have created the selection with precision, go to Edit menu>fill selection. In this dialog there are several options which are self explanatory.
    You can also place the selection on its own layer via CTRL+J, then use the eraser tool to touch up. I do this frequently. It helps to place a layer with contrasting color below the selection layer temporarily to facilitate visualization. Be sure to delete this layer when you are done.
    To post a picture file, save it to disk, then  click on the camera icon in the reply box here, click browse, and point to where the file is on disk, then insert.

  • Photoshop elements 9 reinstalled to new harddrive, not working properly

    Had to re install PSE 9, now style bin missing, can't use organiser, can't install PRE 9 either (says PSE not installed or corrupted). Please help

    Nobody can help you without system information and otehr details. Your issues seem to indicate a busted install, possibly because you didn't do it with sufficient user privileges and files could not be written...

  • Not possible to download purchased license for Photoshop Elements 11 on PC with Windows 8

    I've no idea what to do now. I bought a Photoshop Elements 11 license and started downloading the Akamai installer program. In the instructions it says that Akamai will start downloading Photoshop Elements automatically but it didn't. I then tried downloading the two separate files and put them in the same folder, but when I double-click the program file I just get the message that the filing part of Ph. El. 11 is missing and that I must put them both in the same folder.
    I've had bad experience from trying to downloading Adobe products in the past using a laptop with Windows 7 and now, having paid a substantial amount of money (for me, at least) and not being able to download the product is extremely frustrating. Please, if anyone knows how to solve this problem, I'd be so grateful ...

    Hi Soracte,
    Please try downloading the software from: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us .
    In case of any issue try the direct download: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l .
    Kindly follow the very important instructions before download.
    Regards,

    my photoshop elements and Lightroom serial numbers won't work for my new mac. I bought these softwares via download on my windows laptop but returned that laptop because the quality was not great. I decided to buy a mac and now can't use my serial numbers to download the software.

    Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files.  If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account.  You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

  • Bought photoshop elements 11 last year for windows and using it in my desktop. The desktop is crashed now and not usable. So I bought iMac now. Is it possible to trade over or change the licence into iMac version for a small fee. If not , can I partition

    bought photoshop elements 11 last year for windows and using it in my desktop. The desktop is crashed now and not usable. So I bought iMac now. Is it possible to trade over or change the licence into iMac version for a small fee. If not , can I partition the hard drive of iMac and install windows and also photoshop elements? which is the best alternative ? why?

    A Photoshop Elements license is good for both Mac and Windows so it should be just a matter of downloading the Mac version and using your current serial number to activate it.

  • Bonjour comment ré-enregistrer une licence  Photoshop Elements : 12.0 de PC Windows à MAC ?

    Bonjour, comment passer une licence Photoshop Element 12.0 de PC Windows 7 à MAC.
    Merci

    If it was a boxed product then you have a dual platform licence and your serial number will work with your Mac. If it was a download you can apply to Adobe for a platform swap - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l.
    If this is a permanent swap remember to sign out from your Windows v12 version before uninstalling (this is how you deactivate it).

  • I threw up the box before installing photoshop elements 13 and now i can not installed my brand new photoshop because i do not have a serial number

    I threw up the box before installing photoshop elements 13 and now i can not installed my brand new photoshop because i do not have a serial number

    When you buy software, the serial number is really what you're buying, since the software is typically downloadable. So don't throw it away in the future.
    If you registered the software before you threw away your serial number, then Adobe may have a record of your purchase.
    You could try chatting with a Support Agent:
