Hi. Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 was activated on 2 computers. One of the computers is deactivated. It turns out there is one free activation. Why can't I activate on my new PC? In your personal account, ALL activations have been canceled.

    I tried to install / run pse 10 on a windows computer:   I had to use a restore point to get the computer to work again.

    I hope you understand you are simply done from ever using that version again.

    My source informs Adobe no longer maintains the activation servers that PSE 10 depends on.  Those servers cannot meet modern security requirements (TLS 1.2).  As a result, fresh activations are effectively impossible, even if your serial number is valid, but existing activations are safe.  Your PSE 10 has had an incredible run, it’s 15 years old.
