hi all basically my premier elements 2015 version on reinstalling wont work. limited help from customer support so looks like im going to have to upgrade to 2025. not happy really as the 2015 version was fine and couldnt be deactivated because of a adobe issue so it wouldnt launch. was only used on the same pc too.

 

now...for anyone thats done this how does this work once you buy the upgrade option from adobe ?

 

i know you get a 3 year license. just not the part about the upgrading. do i do it through my premier elemnets 2015 ? does that just upgrade to the newer version. or...do i just do it through adobe and get a new version and install 2025 ? any help would be appreciated. the customer support just links me here. i dont think he even knows. thanks.

You go through Adobe, get a new version and install 2025. That is all.

 

You most likely no be able to use 2015 projects in 2025. Titler is completely different and effects have changed.

And you wont be able to make a dvd or bluray. You can export as such but need a 3rd party authoring software to get the file on disk.

Yes, you get a download link.  You can download, install and use it for free for 7 days.  Inside the program will be the option to pay.   Go to this link, scroll to the bottom and you will see the free trial offer.
