@michaeld93079052 

You purchased Premiere Elements (the video editor).

You didn't purchase Photoshop Elements (the photo editor}.

Both come with the Organizer.

 

Are you trying to use Photoshop Elements?
If so, that it is why it is a trial.

When the support chat window opens:

type AGENT

no more, no less.

Did you purchase Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements, or both?

Which are you trying to open?

Please post in the Photoshop Elements forum (this is the Photoshop forum), a bit confusing!:
