Question

Photoshop 2020 help please

I purchased Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements 2020 on a disc, uploaded both and used the serial key to activate Elements assuming that would activate both. Some days later I went to use Premier for the first time and it wanted the serial number again. Unfortunately I had thown it away by then.

My account only shows details of my previous Elements 14.

I cannot see any other than to purchase Premier on its own again.

So can I uninstall Premier 2020 independently of Elements 2020 without affecting Elements or the Catalogue?

Thanks

. . . There is no need to uninstall Premiere if you buy a new copy.  You can just use the serial number of your new purchase.

With all the shops here closed due to the virus I will have to download it from Adobe website. Will that still apply ?

I believe the download serial number will work with your boxed set installation.

PS you can uninstall PRE without affecting PSE.

Not sure Nick there is anything anyone can do in those circumstances. I'm sorry. I always record product keys in a word processing or text document in case of future need or for installing on a different computer.

The serial numbers are usually inside the box on Windows disk wrapper.

I did have the numbers when I first activated Elements but have lost them before I tried to activate    Elements Premier

Did you purchase from Adobe or from a third party? Serial numbers are individual to each app e.g. commencing 1057 for PSE and commencing 1143 for PRE.

I purchased it online from John Lewis whilst I still have the disk and the box there is no sign of the serial numbers anymore
