I bougth a 3 years license for Photoshop Elements in November 2025.

Startin about 3 weeks ago when try to load the program I get the message;

Your Photoshop Elements 2026 license has been suspended.

Reactivate your license at Adobe.com today.

Reactivate your license at any time using your Adobe ID: Marcbourgeois4@XXXXXXX.XX

When I try to reactivate I get a 404 web page error.

I had a copy of Photoshop Element 2022 on my PC which I deleted just before the problem started, which I think had may have had control of the license Key but I'm not sure.

I have even tried to by a new license but tthe sale agent tells me it already installed so it won't proceed.

Can anyone tell How to get Photoshop Element 2026 running again?

Problem or error

I finally was able to do a chat session with someone from support and found tha my licenses had been cancelled. Did you by any chane delete and older version of photoshp Elements just before the problem started? I think that they are somehow linked.

After uninstalling the app and all associated folders and deleting the registry key and trying to reinstalll from scratch it still didn't work. The support person told me the only to fix the problem was to by a new licenses using a different account. But again no change. I am sure that the deleteing of the old version is linked to the license being cancelled.

I really think you "mucked things up"--- "After uninstalling the app and all associated folders and deleting the registry key".

Each version is it's own program, and has nothing to do with another version.

How much did you pay for pse 2026, and where did you purchase it from?

Does the "suspension" state why?
