I purchased Photoshop Elements 13 at BestBuy and am trying to download it onto my MacBook Pro without a CD.  The redemption code provided me with a serial number, but when I input the serial number, it tells me it is invalid.

    Hi there,

    Please download a copy of installer from the page here Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10  and install the software and then enter the serial number while installation.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Ani,

    I have tried downloading it from that link three different times and each time it tells me the serial number is correct. Each time I have tried to uninstall whatever was on the computer (MacBook Pro) and rebooted.  The Photoshop elements icon never did disappear.   I double checked the number through the redemption code also.  What do I do now?
