Hello, I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 with an activation key, but I can't activate it. I get a message saying it's already activated, but unfortunately, the PC it was activated on is defective. How can I activate the version?

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Download and Install forum.

    You are allowed two activations.

    If you used both and can't deactivate one on the computer that is activated, then you can't activate another computer.

    Sorry but i can´t deactivate it anyway because the old computer is broken. And after the installation it say´s that there is already an activation in use. Can my version be reseted somehow?

    no.  deactivation from a computer that has an activation is the only way.  ie, if those computers are inaccessible, it's impossible to reset your activations.

     

    that used to not be the case so if you look at older discussions you'll see that by contacting adobe support and requesting,  they will reset.  that's no longer true.
