How do I find which computers Adobe has my Elements linked to?

Question

I have ten computers on my home network and multiple Adobe Elements DVDs including 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. ( Both Photoshop and Premiere). I would like to have an Adobe Elements Program on each of my laptops, and most of my desk tops. Is it correct that each purchased program can only be installed on two computers?

I am trying to organize my home network and when I try to install Adobe Photoshop 14 (etc.) I sometimes get a message from Adobe that this program is installed on too many systems, and I need to uninstall one of them before installing PS 14. I can't find PS 14 installed on more than one system, so how do I find which of my systems Adobe thinks PS 14 is installed on? (Some older systems are no longer used). Were the same rules in effect as far back as PS 9 and 5 ? What is the rule for Photoshop and Premiere Elements 15? Thank you.

Photoshop Elements 5 was the last version that was not required to be activated to work on a system.

With a mess like you have, you may want to just have all of your activations reset using the chat option here and then activating the ones you want to use:

The rules for each version allow installation on as many computers as you want, but you can only have two of the same version activated at the same time and only use one at a time.
