Trouble installing photoshop elements on 2nd computer - says already on 2 computers

I had elements on 2 laptops but I had to send one of my computers back to HP to have keyboard replaced.  While we were trying to pinpoint the problem we decided to set computer to factory settings, so all my programs were taken off - so I thought. 
I could not be without my main computer for 2 weeks so I purchased a new one and installed elements on it - it was working fine for about 1 month and then it said that this program was already installed on 2 computers.  I tried to uninstall it and then reinstall, but it wouldn't let me.  Does the program think it is still on the computer I had to have repaired?

If you did not deactivate it before resetting to factory settings, yes it does.
You will need to contact Adobe Support to have them fix it for you.

  • Installing Photoshop Elements in a computer lab?

    Hey there!
    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements 12 in a computer lab. We have 33 computers that we would like to have Photoshop Elements 12 installed on. We have licenses for them but the concern is the whole Adobe ID setup. This is a high school computer lab and a big cause for concern is giving students access to our licenses and them also having the ability to sign themselves out of Photoshop. Right now we are looking at making Adobe IDs for all 33 computers, is this the best way to go about this? And is there any way to disable their ability to sign out? If anyone feels like helping me out, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    I don't think there is any way to do this, since PSE is not part of Creative Cloud and the usual CC for Teams management and deployment tools will not work. Creating unique Adobe IDs seems the only way...

  • Having trouble installing photoshop elements 12

    Hi all, hopefully someone can help me with a problem I'm having installing photoshop elements 12 on my vista pc. Basically I have tried downloading the trial via the download assistant but the program will not load or show any signs of working after I download it. I have also attempted to directly download the trial from Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools but file 1 only seems to download a 1.5mb file that will not open (similar to the download assistant). File 2 will download but upon unpacking it, the installer program in the download will not respond.
    I have tried turning all of my antivirus off, and have been downloading with firefox as opposed to internet explorer. I have not had any error messages pop up as no programs or downloads I have tried even seem to load up.
    Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

  • Having trouble installing Photoshop  Elements 13. [was: I wonder if somehow I might have went to Creative cloud because something crossed my screen, but I am not used to doing this so]

    I could really use Customer Service help. I received Photoshop Elements as a gift for Christmas...I waiting until i got a new laptop so that I could use that as i was having trouble with older computer. However, I am having trouble installing the software...I swear the dvd added the programs, and I saw them in files explorer i think, but then I cannot find or I was not even able to add the serial number to my knowledge, because it was blank...no keystrokes were shown...and i don't see the program anywhere...Could I have down something wrong and it is somewhere in the cloud?

    Thank you. That's what I first thought that I didn't need to do anything
    but install from the dvd drive. However after the agreement, it asks me to
    sign in at adobe. (Sorry, I'm a little tired of looking at this right
    now)...I'll try again tomorrow.
    There is no one that I see how to start using the program as I must sign
    in. However, I have never been able to get the number to your firm. Or get
    the correct number... I think I clicked on a learning tutorial or browsed
    Adobe's website to learn more, but got caught up in all the details.
    I never uninstalled virus protection to run it because I thought that it
    would ask. I'll try again tomorrow I am frustrated. Thank you for your
    patience. I appreciate it totally. It's really sad cause I really wanted to
    create. I have wanted this for a very long time and I can't believe how
    difficult this has been. It would be really nice to know what is really
    wrong. I must not be seeing something or I've done something.

  • Trouble installing photoshop elements 12

    I purchased adobe photoshop elements 12 and premier elements 12.  The premier elements installed, but the photoshop elements did not.  Now when I try to install, it says there is an error.  I have installed Flash Player and also turned off my firewall and antivirus after restarting the computer.  What else can I do?

    attach a screenshot of the error, if it's in english.  otherwise, use google translate to translate the message to english.

  • Having trouble installing photoshop elements and premier on my windows 7 laptop?

    I can not install photoshop elememts or premier 11 on my windows 7 laptop?

    Doesn't matter if you got it on disk or downloaded.
    You've purchased a serial number and, in your case, got a disc and box as added extras.
    You can always download the trial version from the Adobe website with any browser and activate that with your serial number.

  • Photoshop Elements on 2nd computer?

    Am I allowed to use Photoshop Elements 12 on two computers? I have it installed on my home iMac & just tried to install on my MacBook via the disc. I am getting a message that my serial number is not valid (t

  • Installing photoshop on a 2nd computer

    I purchases a copy of Photoshop Elements 10 about a year and a half ago.  This was installed on my Dell PC.  Now I would like to install it on an Imac 21.5.  Can I do this without purchasing additional software?

    If you bought the boxed version, yes, because those serial numbers are cross platform. If you bought the download usually not, although it's worth downloading the trial from here and trying it to see if it will accept your serial number:
