Jeff,
I did not adjust any file permissions before the adobe error 16 started happening.
We dont adjust permissions on standard accounts, the way they are is the way Mac OS defaults it.
My point has been that the error happens randomly and out of all three solutions suggested by different articles, none have been the specific fix since one time one fix works, another time another fix works, for example on one computer uninstalling did not fix it, but updating the adobe manager app did, and then the opposite (vice versa) was true on another computer.
Sometimes I've seen the program launch with the error, then I leave the screen with the error there for 30+ minutes, and then relaunch the app and it goes and works, without the computer being touched at all.
I also tried to explain why that location you mention is not a good idea to have read+write for all users since any user can then delete this file and ruin the licensing of the software installed for all users.
Our settings are not that restricted at all, there are only two group of users in almost any education/school, administrators and standard users.
Standard users (students, teachers, etc) do not and should not have access to administrative privileges on computers, so this is the standard practice for almost 99% of all schools.
The way you guys designed your licensing part of the software with regards to that SLStore folder, is made for home users, not for shared computers like in schools, which is ironic because photoshop elements as far as I was told was aimed at lower level users such as students, hobbyist, non-pros, etc...
Can you please point out which part of my post you did not understand before?

Ok, thanks for the clarification and feedback, E Alamonte.
Your organization may want to look in a Creative Cloud for Enterprise membership. It allows the deployment and use of Adobe Creative applications in restricted environments. Photoshop Elements 15 was primarily designed as a consumer photo editing application.
You can find more details on how to deploy licensed Creative Cloud applications at Packaging User Guide .
