Please Help (Photoshop Elements 7 Serial)

I bought a Wacom Tablet which included Photohop Elements 7. I lost the serial number, and I switched computers. Now I can't reinstall it because I need the serial number to start the install. I talked to Wacom about being able to get my serial number, but I was told that they couldn't help and that I should contact Adobe. So, is there anyway I can get my serial number, or be given a new number for my Photoshop Elements 7 without having to purchase a new one?

Long answer: No. Adobe doesn't know what you don't know, even more so for these OEM deals which use specific serial number ranges. If you never botehred to register it, it's a goner and you'll have to buy anew license of PSE 10.

  • Please help - Photoshop Elements won't open

    Hi,
    I just bought photoshop elements, installed it and everything was fine.  Like a dope, I downloaded a graphic from a website, and tons of adware/malware was also loaded on my computer.  I couldn't stand all the popups and junk, so i used the Dell Restore to restore the computer to the point right before I loaded photoshop.  After that was done, I reloaded photoshop, and now I can't get in to the program.  (The popups went away.) The opening screen comes up, I choose "photo editor" instead of "organize"...the moving ribbon comes up as if it was thinking, and then it goes away and the opening screen stays there.  No error messages.  If I choose Organize, I can get in to the photo organizing section with no problem.
    I'm running Windows 7.  I tried uninstalling photoshop, reinstalling it, uninstalling it, ran the cc cleaner, reinstalled it, uninstalled it and removed the preferences, rebooted a million times, uninstalled and reinstalled again....I still can't get in.  If I click on a .psd file the opening screen comes up and it sill just sits there.  I went into Organize and loaded an update, that went fine, but still can't get in to photoshop.  I can't do the restore to an earlier date, since I installed and uninstalled the program so many times, I lost that ability.
    I see a lot of people asking the same question in these forums, but I don't see any answers.  Can anyone help?  I appreciate any assistance you can give me!  I was so excited to use the program, and now it seems like I'll be shut out until I get a new computer, which is not going to happen soon!
    Thank you,
    Holly

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

    Sorry, it appears you were scammed. The phone you have was replaced, either under warranty, or as an out of warranty replacement, & should have been returned to Apple. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous retailers will fix these phones, & then re-sell them. Your only option is to go back to whoever you purchased the phone from & confront them

  • 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

    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.

    Your entering the 24 digit serial for photoshop elements 12 starting with 1057-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
    I agree with bearcatnat in that i don't know what adobe expects us to do about serials on the forums, since were just users such as yourself and don't work for adobe.

  • HELP PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS AND REVEL HELL

    1. My computer has corrupt partitions.  I have to erase and reinstall everything.  How do I reinstall Photoshop Elements? 
    2. How do I back up and save and be able to open up current Photoshop Elements photos in the newly reinstalled Photoshop Elements?
    3.  Revel offered way to archive but computer would not accept Media downloader from Revel to back up photos bec. computer did not recognize developer?  How do I archive these photos I currently have in photoshop elements?
    4. How and where do you save photos in photoshop elements?  And how do I retrieve them?
    5.If I purchase Elements 11 will this eliminat all of these issues I mentioned here?
    6.  What's the difference at Revel to "migrate" my photos from photoshop elements to Revel and/or Archive by downloading them which I can do since the developer is not recognizable on my computer?
    7.  Do you know if the external g: drive (time machine) backs up photohop elements photos?  What will and how?

    1)
    To re-install PSE on a new machine or on a new disk after the disk has been formatted - wiped clean - you first need to de-activate it by going to:
    Help >> Deactivate
    You do this before you wipe the disk clean or before you toss away the disk and install a new one.   This is to preserve your license and rights to install on two different machines if you wish to do so.
    2) You must backup not only your photos but also your other documents, emails, videos, music files etc.  Anything that you don't want to lose should be backed up in a flash drive (16GB flash drive or even 32 GB flash drive).  You might need couple or an external hard disk that can be mounted on a USB port.
    You also need to back up your PSE catalog so that this can be retrieved on your new machine or on your new disk.
    For points 1 and 2, it is a good idea to make a list of things to do in advance including making sure you have all the CDs/DVDs and serial numbers ready to install applications on a new system.  Planning in advance will avoid headaches later when you are working hard to prepare the new system.
    For other points about Revel, you will need to post them at this link:

  • Pls help - Photoshop Elements crashes when switching media types

    Hello, I'm hoping someone can help.  I just installed Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7 on a brand new HP Pavilion system running Vista, 9 GB of RAM.  I then imported a catalog with ~18,000 photos and tags from Photoshop Elements v6 via backup from original system and restore to new HP system.  Worked like a charm.  Now I have the catalog open, and when I click on "View -> Media types -> anything else (Video, PDF, whatever)" irrespective of what I select, Photoshop Elements crashes.  The error message states, "Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Organizer) has stopped working.  A problem cause the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  Note this also happens when I use Ctrl-1 or other shortcuts.
    Has anyone else seen this?  I literally powered up the HP today, and loaded Elements and Premiere today, so it's not likely due to old software (eg I did not install Photoshop Elements 6).
    Thanks all!
    Ed

    Please delete the folder  C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\8.0\Organizer and relaunch to see if the problem vanishes.

  • Please help! Elements 11 image quality poor compared to LR

    Hello, I just started using elements and am very irritated because the image quality is very poor compared to when i am viewing in LR.  Its not the conversion - i have tried pulling directly from the camear.  It looks great in Camera Raw 7.1 but the second i pull it into editor, it lines get jagged.  Adobe help is telling me this is normal.  Surely not??  Something about a halo around pixels?  Image on left is Elements 11, right is Lightroom and Zoomed in so you can see how sharp it is.  PLEASE help.  im so frustrated!

    In the pse 11 editor are you looking at the image at 100% view (actual pixels)?
    (Other viewing percents can be misleading in the pse 11 editor)
    Double click on the zoom tool in the tol box to get 100% view.
    Also you should be on camera raw 7.4 available from Help>Updates within the pse 11 editor.
    Is that lightroom 4.4?
