Hi I purchased Elements 8 years ago but would like to install it on my new computer which is a Mac without a disc drive. The download is taking taking days and doesnt seem to be working. What is the problem?

    -you will need to enter your original serial number during install for non-Cloud programs

    For Mac El Capitan or the newer Sierra operating system read below

    Owners of old programs simply have problems with Mac El Capitan/Sierra... none of which is Adobe's fault... Adobe did not change your old program to make it stop working... Apple changed their operating system and THAT is why your old programs won't work, not because of anything Adobe did... Also... every time Apple issues an update, there is the risk that an old program that HAS been working will STOP working... bottom line, old programs require a matching old operating system
