Hi Steph, purchases direct from Adobe are automatically linked your Adobe ID. For purchases made through a third party you should have recieved a redempion code. Follow these steps:

 

Product Activation Instructions

  1.        Visit redeem.adobe.com/elements.
  2.        Sign in to your Adobe account or create an account. Please note that redemption code will be linked to your AdobeID.
  3.        Enter the redemption code and click “Redeem code
  4.        Click “Get Started

Hi

It did do that with success but when I clicked get started it took me back to a main page. When I downloaded photoshop elements , it said pay monthly or trial. Its like it didnt exist, that I had paid for it or redeemed photoshop elements. I went through each step but I ended up with nothing?? When I go to my adobe account, it has nothing on there either.

Thanks for your help,
Steph

Go to the products tab. If you have older products registered scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the 2026 version.

Hi Steph.  I'll move your post to the Elements forum.
