I rceently upgraded to the newest Elements. I deauthorized my computer with the 2018 version I had. Am I allowed to sell it or is it permanently linked to my personal log in?

 

Thanks!

>>>I rceently upgraded to the newest Elements. 

 

If you paid the upgrade price and got the upgrade version of 2020 then you cannot sell 2018. Your 2020 is an extension of your 2018 license so you still need your 2018 serial number to use your 2020 upgrade serial number - and whenever you need to reinstall 2020.

 

You also cannot sell 2018 if it is an Educational or Student version.

 

If you paid full price for a full new version of 2020 (not an upgrade) then you can sell your non-Student version of 2018 using the link posted  by Greg_S.

It's possible.  But Adobe makes you jump through a lot of hoops.  See this article.
