I bought PS Elements two months ago and it worked perfectly. However, when I try to open the program now, it says that I have to reactivate PS Elements. When I press the buttom "Reactivate", I get 404 Page not found.

I have tried to reinstall Elements but it doesn't work.

Please advice what to do.

Windows 10 may be the problem because of security concerns and the activation process. You will have to contact Adobe Support to resolve this.

I have already contacted the support three times. They promised to call me back but they never did.
Not sure how to proceed. I have used Adobe products for many years withoutt experiencing any problems.

You are the second person this week to have this problem. Are you using a VPN?

As I said, your best bet is to contact Adobe Support.

. . . and what Operating System are you using.

I suggest you try contacting Elements support. You can start a chat session by going to the Contact Adobe Support page. (https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen) Make sure you are signed into your Adobe account and try typing Agent when the chat window opens. (If you use my link, the chat window should open automatically.)
