Question

No place to license PE15

I installed PE15. It was active and running. The program hung and I then closed it out. Now, when I trey to start PE15, it says "this product is not licensed, start PE editor to license.

When I go to the editor, I am already signed in and there is no place to enter activation code.

I signed out, signed back in and nothing, It doesn't even give me a trial window to enter the code.

I just reinstalled through the CD and never once asked me for an activation code.

Thanks

Hi Dhananjay.

I downloaded and executed the application manager.

I started editor, and signed out. Closed the app and then signed back in

I signed back in and it said " my creative photography plan is now activated" ( I have a subscription)

But it gave me no where to enter a license number.

I bought PE from Amazon (disc) with a valid number - but no where during the process does it give me a place to enter.

Thanks

What happens when you launch the Editor in Expert mode? If you are signed in (you will see your email address under the help menu) then the software is activated.
