Question

Deactivate PE 2023?

I purchased Photoshop Elements 2023 with license for two computers in December 2022. I installed it to a PC with Win11 and a laptop with Win10. Everything was fine until last week. I was using it daily. Last week (after a big Win11 update), when  I started to run the app in PC Win11, Serial No was requested again. I gave the correct No, but I was told to deactivate the other computer. I have a licence for two and I have installed it only in two. What can I do? I know license issues should be solved with Adobe itself, but I have not found any way to contact them. Can anyone give me a hint what to do?

    BE SURE TO ONLY ASK FOR ACTIVATION SUPPORT TO ADJUST YOUR ACTIVATION COUNT
    You may need to PERSIST or TRY AGAIN to find a support agent with more experience

    Be sure to remain signed in with your Adobe ID before accessing the link below
    Do be aware that Adobe's staffing is impacted by the Covid virus, so wait times are long
    .
    You MUST make sure that your browser does NOT block ads, scripts, or pop-ups
    You MUST also allow 'cookies' in your web browser for the link to work
    .
    This link will go directly to the chat option
    Type "Agent" in the chat box to bypass the chatbot and be connected to a person
    -Meaning type in the word Agent without the quote " " marks
