PSE/8 on eBay?

I replaced my Dell laptop with a MacBook Pro and will eventually replace my PC with an iMac.  I deactivated the Windows version of PSE/8 I had on the Dell and am keeping the Windows version active on my PC.  In the mean time, I want to purchase a copy of PSE/8 for use on the Mac and still use the Windows version on my PC while I save for the iMac.
I see a lot of Mac versions of PSE/8 on eBay, but they include only the DVD and not the original packaging.  The enlarged image of the DVD says "FOR BUNDLES ONLY" and "Not to be sold separately"; however the text of the auctions states that these are the full commercial version and can be licensed for two computers.
Are these legitimate copies that have been removed from bundled packages?  Has anyone on this forum purchased this from an eBay vendor and had problems registering the product?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Not sure about the Mac versions, but I just received PSE 7 from one of these eBay vendors.  It installed fine on my Windows 7 Home Premium edition (32-bit) laptop, with no error messages, and allowed me to register it easily!  There had been some discussion on dpReview board about PSE 7 on W7 compatability, but the problems seemed to revolve around the 64-bit versions.
When in doubt, you can check for more threads on dpreview.com.

  • Licence, but no installation medium, what do I have to do? PSE 12

    Hey guys,
    im new to Adobe/PSE. I've bought a Licence of PSE 12 via Ebay, for both PSE 12 and Premiere Elements 12.
    Now, how do I get a copy of those 2? Thats just why I got no CD/DVD for installation.
    Thanks a lot.

    Thank you for posting that very important link.
    But, I would ask you about case such as that of roboniel.
    As roboniel says
    I've bought a Licence of PSE 12 via Ebay, for both PSE 12 and Premiere Elements 12.
    and no installation disc. And, no mention of installation files. Does that not signal potential problems for roboniel moving forward
    as it relates to the Adobe Licensing Agreement?
    Transfer an Adobe product license
    Might not it be a good idea for roboniel to pursue the matter with the Ebay seller.
    Thanks.

  • PSE 9 Activation Limit reached

    Purchased PSE 9 via ebay. Arrived OK complete package. Installed with no problems, but today it came up with "Activation Limit reached".
    Talked to seller and he has deinstalled (but probably not deactivated) the software. Any ideas or help appreciated. Thanks

    Again thankyou, I had already sussed that it had been installed on two seperate machines. However the seller is far less aware than I am about how this works. Having said that (and having read the Adobe doc) it also appears that I have no idea either. If there is no easy way to resolve this the seller will be having to refund me anyway. I always thought the IBM AS400 licenses to be overly complicated but Adobe has taken it a new level. Back tp PSE 2 for me I think.
    Just to complicate matters, when I first loaded the software I actually registered the software in my name with no problems at all.........
    Thanks again

  • Can I sell a downloaded version of PSE? I have only a key and no CD (Amazon Download)

    I would like to sell PSE 10. Can it cause problems to sell it in ebay? Of course de-activating, sending the bill,...

      You would need to arrange a license transfer so that the buyer could register the software in their own name.

  • Lost PSE 5.0 Disc

    Good morning everyone!  I have lost my Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 software disc!! All I have is the serial number.. Is there anywhere I can get the software again - a download perhaps? Something I can burn onto a disc in case I need it again in the future? ANY help you can offer is GREATLY appreciated! I need to design some business cards for a new venture and was hoping to try and do it is PSE 5.0...
    Thanks again

    For PSE 5 your serial number would not work with a download. I would check ebay and such like places for used retail disc. Don't buy something that says "new in box"--at this point it's probably fake. You don't care if someone is unloading a real copy of PSE with a serial number that's invalid because they used to qualify for an upgrade, since you have your own number.

  • Create square photo in pse 9

    I crop photos to square aspect on monitor for ebay use.  After using guided edit in pse 9 to correct, I resize, but it never allows square...always changes.  EVen when I try to custom print a square just to see if it will work,, it still comes out a rectangle.  Pllease help.  

    If you enter a value for resolution on the option bar of the crop tool, depending on the circumstance, resampling may occur.
    That is my understanding of the downside.
    I have adopted the following work flow with a picture file that comes out of my camera, and that I want to print:
    Open picture file
    Go to Image>resize>image size, and increase the resolution (stepwise-trial & error) so that I come close to 4x6", or 5x7". The options to constrain proportions and resample remain unchecked.
    I strive for resolution 240-300px/in for a decent print
    Set the crop boundaries on the rectangular marquee tool, drag out
    Go to Image>crop

  • PSE icons instead of the photo. I need to view photos at a glance. Please help me????

    Please help, this is driving me crazy.  I have downloaded my free PSE #9, it came with my Leica Camera.  I cannot view at a glance any of my photos.  There is only an icon that reads, PSE.  To view any of my photos, I must click select and then preview.  This gets old, and I am doing 4 times the work. I am having to use the dates to guess where my photos might be.  I hate this!  My old Photo Shop #5 didn't do this.  When you went to my pictures, you could see every photo.
    I have tried the right click and open as any program.  What ever program I choose, that is the icon that appears.  No photo. Still no good.
    Please help.
    Thanking anyone in advance,
    Leica

    Hi,
    Are you using Windows Explorer to view the files?
    If so, load Explorer, go to the Tools menu and select Folder Options.
    Click on the View tab and make sure the first option (Always show icons, never thumbnails) is not checked.
    Click on OK and see if that is any better.

  • Opening animated gif in PSE 8 for Mac

    I am switching from PSE for PC to PSE 8 for Mac.
    I have always been able to open animated gif as layers and work with them, then resave as an updated animated gif.
    WIth PSE 8 for Mac, I get a pop up that the file is animated and can only see the top frame. Any ideas on how to open up all of the frames in layers?

    Do I need to enable this process for my Mac? Maybe I'm missing a plug-in or update?
    I have been opening these files from others, tweeking and resaving for almost 2 years in PSE. It definitely will not shuffle the individual panels on an animated gif into the layers box.
    My tweeking usually involves adjusting frame speed. Is that what you mean by 'frame rate'?
    Thank you for your help.

  • "Program Error"  While trying to print in PSE 9

    Download and installed updates to PSE 9.0, Now 9.03. While in PSE mode I can no longer print images to Epson Photo R2880 or HP J4680. I can print to both printers using HP Media Smart Photo application, but if I attempt to print from PS Elements I get the following "could not print (image title) because of program error". I have since uninstalled the upgrade to PSE 9.03, I have also  done a system restore all to no avail. I still can't print while in PSE. Any experience with this? Any resolution ? Help !!!

  • IPod Touch 2G No Longer Sees Photoshop Elements (PSE) Album Photos

    Hello Forum,
    All was working fine. I would create an album in PSE 7 on Win XP, my iPod Touch would see the album and all the photos in that album, successful sync, and copies of the photos would be stored on my iPod Touch.
    Then for data security and redundancy, I relocated my My Documents folder to a network RAID disk array. My Music and My Photos folders therefore also got relocated. After fixing some paths iTunes works fine, and PSE 7 also works fine. PSE 7 albums are completely intact and accessible from the network share.
    BUT, when I go to sync my iPod Touch with PSE7, the iPod sees all the PSE album names in iTunes, but says that each album has exactly 0 photos. So now my iPod has no photos. Please help me fix this problem.
    One other thing, if I point my iPod at a specific photo folder on the network share, and tell it to sync to this folder, the photos in the folder move to the iPod with no problems. But I don't want to have to create photo copies in new folders just to sync with the iPod; the PSE Album concept is perfect, if it would only work now!
    Thanks, Ken

    I've had exactly the same issue with my iPhone 3GS and iTunes 10.4.  I reported it to Apple and was told it was likely an error that crept into 10.4 and to expect a fix in an upcoming release of iTunes.  I'm waiting for that to happen still...

  • PSE 8 printing problem with HP 8750 Printer

    When trying to print oversized (10 x 11) images in PSE 8 with my HP 8750 printer the printed image looks like a postage stamp.  I've done everything the same as I did with PSE7 and the same printer with no problem.  What could the solution to this?  It's quite frustrating, not to mention the ruined 12x12 paper, which is a bit expensive.  I upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit a few months ago and had no problems installing the printer or PSE 8.  Everything has been working smoothly up to this point.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Thanks for any help that you can offer.
    Lizzi

    Hi:
    What I should have said is that the image "is the size of" a postage stamp...about 1 inch x 1 inch.
    I'm still wrestling with this.  I finally got a page to print out correctly, now the 2nd page is giving me fits, and I though I wrote down all the settings, but apparently I must have missed one.

  • How do I set up the system to print 4x6 labels via paypal and ebay using a DYMO 4XL Thermal Label Printer (through airport)?

    We bought a DYMO Label Writer 4XL. We want to print thermal labels from our Mac and PC, wireless. The good thing is that I already have the printer set in the network and added on each of our computers (Mac and Windows 8). For printing regular labels you can use the Dymo software; for printing postage labels from ebay or paypal has been impossible.
    From ebay I even tried one label at the time but still did not work.  I sent the the print command from the mac-print-window, changing each of the settings (such as paper size) but did not work. Each time (no matter if you want to print one label only) it advances more than one lable.

    Through Paypal is a different story. It should be easy cause it seems the Zebra Driver in Paypal works with this DYMO. The issue is how to get the system to send the print command to the DYMO printer through the Zebra LP2488? please help! I know some people have succeded making all these work. What am I missing?

    To whomever is reading this post I just wanted to let you know I returned the Dymo 4XL. Their customer service is horrible. Technical support does not exist at all. The issue was extremely frustrating and time consuming. I do not recommend this thermal printer at all. Good luck finding one... if you do, please share.

  • Help? PSE 9 - was a full version, now the serial on my adobe account is registered as "Beta"?

    Hi,
    I have a bit of a frustrating situation - I received a full copy of Photoshop Elements 9 (for Mac) with a printer 2 years ago, installed it and used it on and off without problem for a year or so. Brilliant.
    Earlier this year, running out of disk space, I had a clean-up of my machine to free up some space and as part of that I uninstalled PSE9.
    I now need to reinstall PSE9, but I've lost the serial number (was printed on a slip of paper with the software bundled with the printer).  So, first attempt was to recover the installed app from the Mac "Time Machine" backup from before my cleanup.  I was able to recover the PSE folder/app, but it wouldn't launch - I'm guessing there are some other system files I need or something (I'm primarily a PC user, and I suspect there are "Program Files" equivalents to consider)...
    Anyway, with that not working, I tried reinstalling from the CD (hoping there may be a "repair installation" option of some kind - but there wasnt).  So I went through the regsitration, through the adobe id login & halted once more at the serial key screen.
    After several attempts to recover from backup, uninstall, install, reinstall, (throw mac out of window....!!!) I eventually logged into adobe.com, and found to my delight that my serial number for PSE9 was accessible in my account - excellent!  So I joyfully entered that into the installation screen and .... NO!!  "error: serial number is not valid for this product".
    Frustrated at this point I contacted Adobe chat help, who (cutting another long 45 minute story short) advised that the serial number in my account was for a "beta" version of PSE9. ...even though the disc and original serial (decomposing in landfill somewhere now...!) I have is for a full version.  I have used it as I said and it is definitely not "beta" or a trial!!!!
    I noticed also that my account registration date was showing as 2nd November 2012 (i.e. that same day), despite me having originally registered with my original product installation almost 2 years prior on 12/12/2010 (I have the welcome "Your Adobe Membership" email in my GMail still).
    So with hindsight now, I'm wondering if by trying to reinstall PSE yesterday and logging in with my adobe id, my account and/or my serial number from 2010 has been overwritten with a new account(?) and "temporary" serial number?  That's all I can think of, and now I have no way of recovering my serial number! (bundled with the printer, the serial number came on a printed piece of paper, which 2 years on, I've lost)
    This is quite a specific sequence of events, I realise, but has anybody else experienced this, and if so, is there any way I can recover my original serial number (without of course paying for another licence? Or putting my wellies on & digging through the local refuse tip!!).
    Thanks to anyone who has read to here, and thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any advice!
    Thanks,
    Aaron.

    Hi,
    Just an update - I'm now attempting to do a full system restore from the time machine back to before I ununstalled PSE9.
    Wish me luck....!
    (meanwhile, downloading Gimp 2.8 on my PC to see if I can do what I need with that in the meantime!!)
    Thanks,
    Aaron.

  • PSE 8 - Archive on external hard drive including captions and tags

    I started my above discussion some time ago with Mark and due to the lateness in my responding the case appears to have been closed. However I am hoping that someone can comment on my intended course of action, see below, based on his suggestions?
    Just recapping having successfully migrated my Photoshop Album 2 catalog including captions across to PSE 8 and now my objective is to move my entire PSE 8 catalog to an external hard drive leaving only thumbnail view to remain. Obviously I am anxious to avoid any catastrophe and therefore would appreciate comment on the correctness of the steps involved. I have arrived at these by simply modifying Mark's original steps. Please correct where necessary.
    1) Connect my external hard drive where I want to copy the files too. Make sure I can 'see' it in Explorer
    2) Open Photoshop Elements 8; click the Organize button on the Welcome screen
    3) Displayed in my welcome screen is my entire catalog with each album matching in title and file (photo) content to the folder title and file (photo) content in the folder location displayed to the left of screen.
    4) Go to the File menu, and select 'Write Keyboard Tag and Propertise Info to Photo'. In my case most but not all files (photos only) will have tag and caption data. Rather than attempting to select the files that I wish to embed tag and caption metadata does Organiser have a global 'search and embed instruction' so that when it gets a 'match' on .jpg number it will embed automatically?
    5) After completion, I go to the File menu, and select 'Copy/Move to Removable Disk...' click the MOVE button to move the files from their current location to my nominated external hard drive.
    6) Click the Next button, and select the external drive in order to copy the files to the drive.
    Can you confirm?
    * On completion of the above steps my external hard drive will allow access to full resolution versions of the file from Photoshop Elements including any existing caption or tag data organised identically to my PSE 8 catalog (only one catalog)?
    * Am I correct in assuming that also all original photos from my laptop will be removed and if not can be deleted given their existence on my external hard drive?
    * Is the data which now resides on the external hard drive capable of being read on any other PC which may not have Elements software?

    I have 2 laptops an aging Dell and new HP. I have successfully followed your
    instruction and deleted 1 & 2 below on both.
    The Dell PSE 8 now has:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\PSE 8 (240Mb)
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements Organizer 8.0 (502Mb)
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.EXE (1.17Gb)
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\ PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.7Z (1.06Gb)
    Giving a total of 2,972Gb
    The HP PSE 8 has:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\PSE 8 (240Mb)
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements Organizer 8.0 (502Mb)
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.EXE (1.17Gb)
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\ PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.7Z (1.06Gb)
    But a total of 3,894 and I am unable to identify where the additional 1Gb
    resides. In Documents & Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements
    Organizer is 120Mb. I have attempted to delete this but lost the catalog in
    the process so had to restore from the Recycle bin and it now appears to
    have reconnected correctly. Frankly I can live with these large file sizes
    but would like an opinion on their potential adverse impact at sometime in
    the future.
    I am not sure whether I need to start a new thread for "Are there any known
    bugs in PSE 8 surrounding the burning of discs" I have attempted to burn
    onto a new CD-RW my slideshow. The process of burning appeared to work but
    the written to CD does not play on the DVD. I have also saved the slideshow
    as a PDF. I can't recall exactly how but in selecting an incorrect option I
    no longer have visibility of projects in 'Folder View'. The projects are a
    single slideshow and PDF copy of the same. How do I regain visibility?

  • When creating a DVD face in Photoshop 13 my save options are limited to .PSE and .PDF.  Why can I not save as a jpeg or other file format?  This was never an issues in Elements 10 (my previous version).

    I just recently purchased Elements 13. I am in the process of creating a DVD face for a video. The design is complete and I would like to be able to save it as a JPEG so I can use it in another program that prints my DVD's. The problem is that it only allows me to save the file as at PSE or a PDF. No other options are available. Why is this?  I upgraded from Elements 10. In Elements 10 I have never had a problem saving this type of project as a JPEG.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    ANSWER FOUND!
    Once I finished composing my question I went back and spent some time to figure out the problem. Rather than choosing the "save as" option, which doesn't work, or attempting to choose "export" (grayed out), the correct option is to choose "export creation", which is near the very bottom of the initial drop down options. That works!  I still think it would make sense to have it as an option in the "save as" area.
