I have a copy of Adobe Premiere elements 14that is registeed with Adobe and when it launhes I am inputting the correct serial number BUT I get this message.

 

I have gone to my Adobe account and deactivated any device that was linked to it previously.

 

Any idea how I can solve this please?

 

thanks in advance

It's certainly possible Adobe no longer supports the registration on such an old product. Have you contacted Adobe via chat?

 

Start by going to this page and clicking on the question mark icon on the top right of the page. Select Contact Us and then use the Virtual Assistant that pops up to contact Customer Care.

so after a lengthy online chat with an agent, I am being told  I have too may activations running for this, which I don't agree with as I very rarely use the software anyway, and I have done the "deactivation" function for an older PC (sold with a clean windows install)

 

I am also being told that thier servers don't have all the info for  legacy products.

 

so I'm stuck!!

 

thoughts??

 

thanks!

During the last month or so I have read many messages similar to yours in other forums

 

Adobe has retired the old activation servers and it is no longer possible to activate old programs

 

This is one example...
