Elements 2024

According to Adobe, the version of Photoshop Elements 2024 that is sold on the Microsoft Store is a separate build of the application that does not require a serial number or an activation code.

This is because the Microsoft Store uses its own licensing and updating system that is different from Adobe's. However, this also means that the Microsoft Store version does not support some features that are available in the Adobe website version, such as the Adobe Application Manager, the Elements Organizer, and the ability to install third-party plug-ins.

Adobe also states that the Microsoft Store version and the Adobe website version are not compatible with each other, and that you cannot transfer your catalog or projects between them. Therefore, if you want to use the full features of Photoshop Elements 2024, you may need to purchase it from the Adobe website instead of the Microsoft Store.

The Microsoft Store handles the download, installation, licensing, and updating of all products purchased through it. If you encounter an issue with an Adobe product during one of these four processes, visit http://www.support.microsoft.com.
