What version of Photoshop?

It that the very first time every you tried to install that version of Photoshop on your computer?

If it is, you probably got a used version that someone else had installed and registered at some time in the past. Adobe limits the numeber of installs and registration of their older versions of applications. Current versions purchased and installed through Adobe Creative Cloud have similar restrictions on usage, but that is controlled by Adobe through online verifications and permissions.

Let's take it from the beginning.

 

Once the subscription is confirmed, the first thing you do is to download the CC desktop app. This is where you install the applications.

 

What happens when you open the CC desktop app and sign in there, with the username and password you used when signing up?

I already had the applications on my desktop cause i used to have it with my school. So i already had the CC and i am already connected with my account. That is only when i try to open Photoshop, Indesign or Illustrator. I tried to delete Photoshop and reinstall it but it still doesn't work. I don't know what to do..
