Question

Elements - you have 5 days left to re-activate this software

Hi,

I'm a user of Elements 6, first installed back in 2009. I cannot remember how it was installed.

After a restart of my Mac Elements is giving me the message in the title.

I have phoned the UK support but was told 'we do not support that old a version on line, go to the forums', so here I am

In the window of my app I can see the serial number and activation number and that I need to do an activation type of Repair

It offers me six boxes in a horizontal line to input an Authorisation Code and then I guess I'd be up and running again.

Question: how do I get such a code please?

Cheers

    If you originally registered your product the serial number will be stored in your Adobe Account.

    Sign in with your original Adobe ID (email address & password) and choose Plans on the top menu strip.

    Then view your products from purchase history. Every registered application should be shown with serial numbers.

    To see a list of your registered products and their serial numbers, go to My Account

    Thanks but as noted in my first post I have the serial number.

    I've checked in my Adobe Account and it shows the same serial number that the app is offering me and the fact that I registered it 2/27/2009

    What I need - I presume it can only come from Adobe - is an Authorisation Code to re-activate the app.

    Any help welcome - Adobe, are you listening?

    Thanks
