Adobe, shame on you! [Why was PSE14 Adobe support withdrawn months after the product was sold?]

I bought Photoshop Elements 14 on July 19, 2016. That's exactly nine months ago and when I tried to get online support for it, I'm told very directly that you don't support it anymore and to come post on the community forum.

That is unbelievable!! What kind of organization sells something and stops supporting it nine months after it was sold?

The proposed solution? Buy Photoshop Elements 15. You must be kidding me??!!!

Seems as though it may be time to lobby Congress for more consumer protections.

Mac or Windows, and EXACTLY which version of the operating system?

Recent Mac AND Windows operating systems have been known to cause "odd" problems

Are you using a computer Administrator account with full read/write permission?

What is the exact error message that you see?

My question is simple. How can a company, in good conscience, sell a product and stop supporting it within months of its sale?

As a user-to-user forum, we can't help with general "Why doesn't Adobe support their superseded product?" questions. That's how Adobe does things with all their products.

Elements 14 was released in Sep 2015. Elements 15 came along in Oct 2016. So you bought version 14 about 2 months before version 15 was released. V14 support would have been discontinued around that time. Not much the forum can do about that.

If you have a specific question regarding Elements 14, please post it here and you'll probably get some forum help with it.
