My daughter has been using Photoshop Elements then for the last year PSCC. She is nowhere near 13 but wants to start using other apps but we cannot sign up as she is too young.

Any Ideas why the eligibility is set so high?

    Correct answer Adobe_Licensing

    This is essentially related to the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule: Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule: A Six-Step Compliance Plan for Your Business | Federal Trade Commission

    Peddling software or a process which may require personalized information from a person younger than 13 is not OK under the law.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I understand now why

    Shame there isn't a way where the parents can sign up for it on their behalf. However the law is the law!
