Question

Adobe Premiere Elements 13 Won't Run in Mac Os 10.15.3

I purchased Premiere Elements 13 and installed on my Macbook Pro in 2015. Now when I try to open, it is telling me that the developer needs to update to run with my version of Mac Os. I also have Photoshop Elements 13. Is there any way to get this to run without buying it again? The program itself is perfectly fine for my needs. Below is the message I get when I try to open the program. 

 

“Adobe Premiere Elements 13” needs to be updated.

 

The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information

    Other mac users have reported that Catalina gave a warning about 32bit programs... did you not see the warning when you were installing Catalina?

    John T. Smith, I have just seen this reply. I don't understand your response: are you suggesting that it would be possible to not upgrade to the current operating system of my laptop? If I were to have done that it would have had other consequences besides one program by Adobe. So what solution were you offering? It seems the choices were to run an old operating system and have problems, or pay for a new version of the program, or get a different program.

    You have 2 choices

    1 - keep an old operating system to continue using an old program

    2 - buy a new program that works with a new operating system
