Why can't I install on a second computer?

Why can't I install Premier Elements 12 on a second computer without paying for it again. The computer I originally installed the program on died. When I open Premier 12 on the second computer a window pops up to either buy it or use it on a trail basis. I already paid for it once.

There could be several scenarios for your situation.
1. You purchased Premiere Elements 12 as a download to a Windows computer and you want to use those downloaded 12 installation files on a Mac computer.
2. You already have the same purchased serial number on more than 2 of your computers. If this is the case and you want to download to a 3rd computer, then you need to deactivate that same purchased serial number from one of the 2 computers.
a. you can deactivate the purchased serial number from the working computer
b. you will need Adobe via its Adobe Chat to deal with the purchased serial number trapped on the crashed computer.
Please review and determine which scenario applies to you. If none, please give more details.
We are not Adobe. Rather user to user forum.

  • Why can't I install Illustrator on a second computer?

    Why can't I install Illustrator on a second computer? It won't allow me to redeem my code again to get my serial number. Why is this?

    I have successfully installed Illustrator on my desktop and am now trying to install it on my laptop. My adobe account does not recognize that I have already installed Illustrator and says I have no products thus far. The problem is my code has already been redeemed, so I cannot access my serial number to install it on my laptop. What should I do?

  • Why can't I install SP2 or SP3 on my Satellite R10?

    Why can't I install SP 2 or 3 on my satellite R10??? All I get is a message saying I need the Word 2002 disc in order to proceed

    Wait a moment. Do you want to install XP service pack or do you want to install service pack for Office Software???
    Secondly the Toshiba notebooks are not delivered with Microsoft Office only with OneNote and this is not the same!!! So what is the problem?! How did you install the Word on your notebook?!! In my opinion you should have the Office CD and in such case the installation of service packs should be NO problem

  • Why can't I install disc 2 without it saying error

    Why can't I install disc 2 without it saying "error in installation"  I'm trying to erase and re-install the OS with the original installations discs.

    To exit completely, hit command-Q.  Note, iLife, fonts and printer drivers may not get installed.  If it is a G5 instead of an Intel Mac, Appleworks, some games, and Classic might not get installed. If your PRAM battery hasn't been replaced in 4 years, it might affect installation. You might have a damaged disc, or a dirty drive making some discs unreadable.  Sometimes the installers from the second disc work from the Finder of the installed system, instead of the general system software installer. Printer drivers can typically be found at the printer company's website, though third party drivers might work better*: http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    If you find there is a certain font missing, someone in this forum might be able to help you. Check this user tip both for the version of iLife that came with your machine, and the minimum requirements for iLife to see if your machine qualifies for certain newer versions:

  • Why can't I install the latest update?

    Why can't I install the latest update? There is an update available. I'm asked to agree to the terms. I do and nothing happens.

    There are two common reasons why an iPad can't be updated to the latest version of the operating system.
    The most common reason is storage space. You can try to free up space of your iPad.
    The second most common reason is the original iPad. For example, for iPhone, only iPhone 4s and the later can upgrade to iOS 8 and the higher.

    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.
    Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.

  • Why can't I install Photoshop Elements 8 on my computer?

    I currently have Windows 7 - I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 at Best Buy over a week ago and still can't install the software.  I've contacted Adobe Support more than once.  My experience has been HORRIBLE.
    1.     I went online and verified that my system meets all of the requirements for this program.
    2.     I went through every single trouble shooting item I could find.  This has taken me approximately 2 days.
    3.     I called Adobe Support and spoke with someone who couldn't understand what I was saying and kept telling me that he could not help me because i bought this through a 3rd party online service - no, I didn't... I bought this from Best Buy!  I had to repeat this more than 4x before he finally understood what I was saying.
    4.     He suggested I download the trial version from the Adobe website.  (I'm thinking, why would I do this when I paid $100 for the actual software?)  But I tried it anyway.
    5.     Since I've downloaded the trial version, it's been working OK - but now I'm trying to enter my serial number before my trial ends and it's pulling up as an invalid serial number!
    6.     I go back to Best Buy to return this so I can just purchase the program online - they will not take it back and says I have to go through Adobe... (sigh)... here we go again.
    7.     I call Adobe again, spoke with someone else who was having a difficult time understanding me.  I explained everything above - he told me I have to uninstall my trial version and install the program with the software... THIS DOES NOT WORK!  (Which is what I told him in the beginning of the call)
    Does anyone have any input on how I can attempt to install this on my computer, or am I really out $100 on my very first Adobe product?  I'm beginning to lose faith in this very troublesome experience... =(  I would love to speak with someone who can understand what I am asking and what kind of help I am looking for.  I just need to be able to install the software with a valid serial number, or instructions to just return this product all together.
    Please help!

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • Why can't I install Snow Leopard on my videos hard drive?

    I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. Lion is on the primary drive but I need Snow Leopard for a legacy app. My plan is to install Snow Leopard on a hard drive that I use for video projects, and then restart from that drive when I need to use the old app. The problem is that the Snow Leopard installation disk says that it can't install onto the videos hard drive unless I partition the hard drive, which will erase all the data. Why can't it install onto the videos hard drive? There's no operating system on that hard drive. The hard drive has folders for Final Cut Express Projects, iMovie Events, iMovie Projects, DVDs movies I've ripped, a folder of music, and an iDVD project. What do I need to remove to enable installing Snow Leopard?

    If I understand what you are saying you have a drive with "stuff" already on it and you want to install a version of OSX on to it while still retaining that "stuff".  If that's what you want to do you cannot do that mainly because there's already "stuff" on that drive.
    The only way you can do this is to either of the following:
    a. Copy the "stuff" off that drive to another drive.  Install the OS.  Copy the "stuff" back on to the newly created boot drive.
    b. Copy the "stuff" off that drive on to another drive.  Partition the drive into at least 2 partitions; one for the boot and one for the "stuff".  Install the OS into one of the partitions.  Copy the "stuff" back to the other partition.
    Either way, if you want to use that disk for a boot disk, you got to get that "stuff" out of the way to do the OSX install on to that disk.

  • Why can't I install iTunes on windows RT? Is Microsoft deciding what software I can use?

    Why can't I install iTunes on Windows RT? Is Microsoft deciding what software I can use?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Theoretically, Microsoft is deciding what apps you can install. In Windows RT, you can only install apps from the Windows Store and they must be ARM-based, things that Apple and iTunes don't meet, so you can't use iTunes in Windows RT
