    Hi Dandersusuie,

    Thanks for posting in Adobe forum.

    I understand you are facing issue with Adobe Elements.

    If you are using Windows Operating System then you can try the following steps:

    - Go to location

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\

    - Rename "SLCache" to "SLCache.old"

    - Go to location

    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\

    -Rename "SLStore" to "SLStore.old"

    If inside C:\ you do not find "ProgramData" folder then it means it is hidden then to open it

    - Open "Run" command

    - Type %ProgramData%  inside Run command

    - Hit "Enter"

    Open Adobe Elements & give it some time to open (30 seconds approx)

    - It should ask you to activate the product

    - Sign in with your Adobe ID

    - Enter your serial number & activate the product

    Hope this helps

    Happy Editing

    Thanks

    Regards

    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out to us on Adobe forums.

    You try cleaning the preferences, as mentioned in following article, after closing the application:

    Preference file locations for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements

    This would hopefully solve your issue.

    Thanks,
