Premier Elements wont activate

I just installed Premier Elements. When I start it I get a message saying that it can't make an internet connection to activate the program. I am connected to the internet. It suggests I check my clock, but for what?
Thank you,

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
Please review the following and let us know if it works for you. If not, then I will comment further.

  • Premier Elements wont open or work on Windows 8 64bit operating system.

    I have a windows 8 64 bit operating system. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Adobe Premier Elements 12 and downloaded the 64bit operating software.  This is the 2nd computer I've installed the software on as I upgraded to a better computer. Photoshop works just fine however, Premier Elements will not open on this computer.  Every time I attempt to open it a prompt to login within 12 days or I will no longer have access appears.  I login with my adobe username and password which are the same for when I downloaded the software in 2013.  I uninstalled and re-installed Premier Elements and still have the same issue. Upon re-install I was able to enter the serial number, but this still did not fix it. I can't get Premier to run and need help figuring out the problem. Has this happened to others and what's the solution if so?  Thank you

  • Adobe Premier Elements wont install.

    I've been downloading the Adobe Premier Elements 3.0 30 day trial to finish a project from home.
    I'm running Windows 7 and it doesn't seem to install.
    Once the download is complete it states so and asks to install now.
    Clicking install now does nothing.
    Please help!

    Welcome to the forum.
    In addition to Steve's comments, be aware that the trial of PrE will place a watermark on your Exported AV file, so you might not be pleased with using any trial to do work, other than to test the program.
    Good luck,

  • Premier elements 12 wont open

    my premier elements 12 wont open at all and the photoshop 12 opens but the screen freezes straight away, was halfway through a video project but have been having difficulties from the beginning- the screen freezing when adding text and the playback and audio stuttering. Help!

    Just some supplemental comments....all information is important in troubleshooting.
    I do not know if I am ready to suggest deleting the BadDrivers.txt file at this point. If and when we get to that point, the BadDrivers.txt
    file for Premiere Elements 12 Windows 7 or 8 64 bit can be found in the path:
    Local Disc C
    Program Data
    Premiere Elements
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    and in the Premiere Elements Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete.
    Note: The version 12 BadDrivers.txt file exists in the Premiere Elements 12 Folder along with Folders for other versions as well as 12.
    For prior versions of Premiere Elements, this BadDrivers.txt file would be in the folder of its version.
    Also, in order to see the above path, you need to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active.
    We look forward to more details of your issue so that we can rule in or out factors involved in your problems. Although video card driver considerations are important to the details package, there are a lot of other possibities in that package.
    Thanks.

  • My premier elements 10 wont open after install

    Hi Guys
    I have just reinstalled premier elements 10 onto my laptop but find it wont open. It says it is running in the task manager but it doesn't show on screen. I have previously had it on this computer running with no problem. I have photoshop elements 10 running ok!
    Lenovo g770 running windows 7 64 bit.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. Glad you did not have a NVIDIA GeForce on your computer.
    Let us go through the usual drill to get these factors ruled out (or ruled in).
    1. If same computer and just reinstall, still running the program as administrator with latest version of
    QuickTime installed? Although you say that your video card/graphic card driver version is up to date, is it the same driver version dating
    before and after the re-install?
    2. In the before and after, have you switched from mouse to pen and tablet device?
    3. Does the problem exist with and without antivirus enabled.
    4. Did the reason for the 10 uninstall/reinstall have anything to do with the performance of 10 or was it done for reasons unrelated to 10?
    If uninstalled for 10 reasons, what were those issues?
    5. Determine if deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file has any impact on the situation. I believe the path to the file is
    Libraries/Users/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Elements/10.0.
    6. You could consider
    uninstall
    free ccleaner run through to get rid of any leftovers from incomplete uninstalls and reinstalls
    https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?mac
    reinstall with antivirus disabled
    7. Miscellaneous...have you added software to your computer between the uninstall and reinstall of 10...expecially any new
    computer security software?
    Have you gone through issues specific to Premiere Elements 10 Mac
    Updated installation instructions | Premiere Elements 10 | Mac OS

    Please review and consider.

  • Downloaded Premier Elements 9 It does not have SartSound in the Audio Tools Button. How can I get it

    Having pruchased Premier Elements vis download, I obviously have not installations disc. After working on a project, I went into audio tools to open SmartSound Quicks. It was not included in the tools menu. I know you can add it to tools if you purchased Pre 9 retail and have the disc. Is this an error in that it is not included in the download version? If not, why was not downloaded and how can I get it? Is there a plugin available. Smart sound shows one I believe for Pre pro. Will that work for Pre 9?

    I hope what I am telling you responds to what you would like to do.
    As one of the respondents mentioned, you can't use AirPlay.  What was not mentioned is you can use HomeSharing.
    You need to activate Home Sharing on both your computer's iTunes/Prefs/Sharing and in Settings/iPod in the iPad.  Using the iPod app, select your computer's library and initiate any requests (music) on the iPad.
    Personally I believe Airsharing and Homesharing are some of the worst work I've seen come out of Apple.  Its inconsistent between devices and is needlessly complicated by having two different capabilities essentially doing the same thing.  Throw in the Remote app and you now have three capabilities essentially doing the same thing with different interfaces and inconsistent functionality.

  • Premier Elements 13 Organizer Works. Editor doesn't. Log in doesn't work

    I downloaded and installed Premier Elements 13 last night. In using it today, Organizer works, but when I select Editor, I am required to log in to my account to activate it. When I do so, then I eventually reach the agreement to terms page, accept it but Editor still doesn't work. Contacted Chat and had an extremely humourous but extremely frustrating chat before the chat stopped working (??????)  Here is a copy and paste of the chat up until Chat stopped working: 
    Here is my chat at the last point I saved a copy......
    Thank you for contacting Adobe.

    You are now chatting with Amit Kumar.
    Amit Kumar: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
    Gordon Stogre: I tried the forums but no one had replied for the last 2 hours. Experts must be on vacation.
    Gordon Stogre: Hello Amit. Are you there?
    Amit Kumar: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements&loc=us
    Gordon Stogre: Do you want me to click on that link?
    Amit Kumar: Yes
    Gordon Stogre: Why?
    Amit Kumar: Download it again from this link.
    Gordon Stogre: I've already downloaded and set up Premier Elements 13.
    Gordon Stogre: That was last night
    Gordon Stogre: Why?
    Amit Kumar: Download and install itagain from this link.
    Gordon Stogre: It took about 2 hours to set it up on a fast internet connection
    Gordon Stogre: Why should I have to do it again. It is already set up and installed.
    Gordon Stogre: The problem is with the Editor. The Organizer works correctly.
    Amit Kumar: There is some issue with the software.
    Gordon Stogre: What is the issue. Please explain
    Amit Kumar: Some files did not download that's why it is not working.
    Gordon Stogre: Are you saying that the Adobe file download is faulty?
    Amit Kumar: Yes
    Gordon Stogre: Everything downloaded correctly and it installed correctly
    Amit Kumar: Ok
    Amit Kumar: One moment while I transfer you to the specialist that can assist you.
    Gordon Stogre: I want a refund on what I paid for Premier 13. This is ludicrous that I should have to spend this much of my time downloading and installing.. I want it free now.
    Gordon Stogre: This is absolutely ridiculous that Adobe uploaded a faulty software. My time is extremely valuable.
    Amit Kumar: I have arranged refund for this product.
    Gordon Stogre: I have spent a total of 6.5 hours downloading, setting up and installing and then trying to get it working.
    Gordon Stogre: But I still want to use this product with the properly working software. Is my licence still valid if I download and reinstall it?
    Amit Kumar: I have arranged refund for this product now.
    Gordon Stogre: WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO USE IT ????
    Gordon Stogre: Will my licence that I purchased for Premier Elements 13 still be valid???
    Gordon Stogre: I want to use it but am very frustrated and annoyed by the problem.
    Amit Kumar: You will not be able to use it.
    Gordon Stogre: I NEED TO USE IT !!!
    Gordon Stogre: Do you understand?
    Gordon Stogre: I want a refund and an operating version of Premier 13.
    Amit Kumar: But I have arranged refund for this product now.
    Gordon Stogre: Please escalate this to your supervisor if you are not able to do this.
    Gordon Stogre: Or I will publish this all over internet
    Amit Kumar: Would you mind waiting for 2 - 3 minutes while I research on this issue?
    Gordon Stogre: I will wait
    Gordon Stogre: 6:13 local time now. About 9 minutes since you asked me to wait...............
    This continued on until 6:39 when the supervisor told me he was transferring it to "the group that could help me with this issue"  Then the chat shut down.

    Oldcameraman
    At the forum level, there is no instantaneous reply. And, there is no "how long before I get someone to post in my thread" expectation.
    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. Although I personally try to see that every thread has a viable reply before the end of the day, there are no guarantee how long it will take for a thread to be answered with some information that may actually help you resolve your particular issue. I am not affiliated with Adobe in anyway. Just a user with an overactive troubleshooting gene.
    From what you wrote, you no longer have a purchased product. You demanded your money back from Adobe via its Adobe Chat, and you got what you demanded, that is, your money back request put into action. So, I am not sure what you are left to work with.
    If you purchased from an online download from Adobe and the install apparently did not take, then it is not unreasonable to be asked to uninstall/reinstall the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled. That may or may not help. There are certain troubleshooting drills that need to be followed as one systematically goes through the progress of ruling factors in or out of the problem equation.
    Part of the drill might have included:
    a. What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
    b. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus installed?
    c. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges and with Run As Administrator applied to the desktop icon?
    d. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card? How many video cards/graphics cards does your computer use, 1 or 2?
    e. Is your computer connected to the Internet?
    f. Is the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13?
    g. Other
    But, none of the above is going to be of use if you do not have a purchased copy of Premiere Elements 13 to work with. You need to sort out your Adobe situation with Adobe.
    We will be watching for your progress. We want you to succeed.

  • Can no longer run Photoshop Elements 12, Premier Elements 12 of Photoshop CC on iMac

    I have a mid-2011 iMac i7 quad processor 27" iMac and after Yosemite can no longer use Photoshop Elements 12, Premier Elements 12 of Photoshop CC on my iMac. I keep getting the following msg even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

    PSE 12 requires you to have an Internet Connection at least once when you are installing it so that you can register the product and activate it.  After this process is complete, you don't need Internet connection unless you want to update it on a periodic basis (say once every 6 weeks).  This is only for the updates; So if you are not bothered with updates then you don't need Internet Connection.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • Premier Elements 7.0

    I've installed Premier Elements 7.0.  No Problem.  When I connect my camera to my PC to do video capture it activates the old Premier Elements 4 program.  The Read Before Installing file says we can keep old versions loaded but not to run simultaneously.  I find no advantage in keeping the old version but I am concerned that by uninstalling it along with Premier Elements 1 that it will affect the operation of Premier Elements 7.  Can I safely remove 1 and 4 without damaging Premier Elements 7? 

    Technically, there is no such thing as an upgrade version of the software, Dr. Even if you bought it for the upgrade price, you got the whole program.
    So just re-run the set-up without uninstalling. Once the installation starts up, you'll see the option to run a repair.

  • Adobe premier elements 12 will not open.

    Hi
    My Adobe Premier Elements 12 will not open.
    It did open about 12 hours ago when I was busy working on video edits. Then I closed it, went to sleep and got up in the morning to carry on editing - bt it wont open anymore. There are no error messages coming up.
    I double clicked on the icon on my desks top, as well as tried oeping it from the start menu - same responce - nothing happens.
    what can the problem be ?
    If I uninstall and then reinstall - will this affect any of my videos that I am editing but have not rendered or saved yet ?
    thanks - I need help urgently.
    LorenzoChetty

    Lorenzochetty,
    Welcome to the forum.
    As one of the main reasons for PrE to not launch is the video driver (more on that in a moment), can you provide us with some details, please?
    What OS version are you running PrE 12 on?
    What is the make and model of your video card/chip (GPU)?
    What is the installed version of the video driver?
    Is that the latest from the nVidia, or AMD/ATI Web site?
    Also, what anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-anything software are you running?
    If you are on Windows, and have Windows updates set to Automatic (the default), then a simple OS Update can render the video driver obsolete.
    Good luck, and let us know more please.

  • How to uninstall/reinstall Photoshop elements 10 and Premier Elements 10

    I have purchased a copy of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 (bundled together 5 discs).  I've installed on my Windows 7 laptop beginning with disc 1 and then it hung up and I couldn't eject.  I was not prompted for any further discs.  I then read that I should've began the install with Disc 2 as I am installing on a Windows 7 computer.  I was wondering if I should uninstall what I have done so far and start over with a fresh install omitting disc 1 and beginning with Disc 2. Is this what I should be doing?   I have not connected to the internet and "activated" the product yet.  If I uninstall will I need to somehow remove the serial number and deactivate to preserve them for the re-install on the same computer.  I don't want to lose one of my licenses as I wish to install these programmes on my desktop as well.  Have read through many similar queries on these forums and have become pretty confused.  Hope someone can help.

    Thanks Jeff.  I will install from disc 2 but presumably first i need to uninstall my first attempt (from Disc 1).  However, will uninstalling the product use up one of the licenses as I would like to install on two computers and I don't want to use up both licenses on the same computer.  I have read on this forum about the need to de-activate the program before uninstalling but some clarification on what "de-activating" actually does would be welcome.  Could someone please confirm the steps I need to take to solve this problem.  As I understand it I need to 1) de-activate the first incorrect install (from disc 1), 2) uninstall the product and 3) re-install using disc 2 and then disc 4.  It seems discs 1, 3 & 5 are not needed for my install of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    Following these steps will use up one of my licenses (hopefully not both) and I can then install the programme on my desktop for my second license.
    Comments / suggestions welcome and appreciated.  Thanks

    thanks

    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

  • Premier elements 3.o to Premier elements 10

    Can premier elements 10.0 open a file from premier elements 3.0
    If not, how can I magrate all the photos and mp3's to 10.0?

    I am not sure whether 3.0 project will work fine in 10.0
    There are lots of changes. Features have been added as well as removed. If you really want to try that, save a copy first and then try. but if it wont work it wont be unexpected.
    The organizer is capable of updating all your media which are currently in your catalog. That would be a safe bet i suppose.
    Good Luck,

  • On the re-installation of Premier Elements 12

    I have Windows Vista on a 5 1/2 year old computer. I expect that this computer is near the end of its lifetime.  I've used a box version of Premier Elements for years. (The box version made it easy to reinstall after crashes.)  I have just downloaded Premier Elements 12. I see that my purchase allows only two downloads of the software. I am unclear what exactly this means.
    I have one computer.  If I buy a second computer in the future, can I use the second download to install Premier Elements? I mean, Is there a time limit on the use of the second download?
    Assume I have used up both downloads. I have an activation code (unlock key). If my computer crashes and I am rebuilding, how can I re-install the PE software? I hope that after a crash I would not have to purchase PE again.

    With version 12, you can have the program activated on two computers at any given time. There's no time limit. You own the license forever.
    You can install it on pretty much as many computers as you'd like. Logging in to the program activates it; logging out of the program de-activates it.
    So you can have the program on, for instance, three or even more computers, as long as it's only activated on two at a time. Make sense?
