Premiere Elements and Photoshop Nag Screen

I sent my Windows 10, laptop to Dell to get repaired from a cracked screen. I don’t know what they did to it, but from what I understand they either installed a new operating system, reinstalled a new motherboard, or new hard drive and I think  that caused adobe premiere and photoshop to give a nag screen saying that the serial number is already in use by the maximum  number of computers, and that I need to deactivate the other computer within 30 days to use this product. The problem is that there is no other computer. I had only installed Adobe Photoshop, and Premiere on this computer. I went through the process of registering the program again, and then I got an email with the serial number. When I got this nag screen issue I decided to try doing this again and it didn’t work.  Since I don’t have another computer to deactivate the programs, I can’t deactivate them within 30 days, or AT ALL!  The nag screen is annoying. Can you please help me resolve this issue so I don’t have to get this nag screen every time I open Photoshop, or premiere?

John T Smith,

 

Thank you for your response. I tried what you said. I typed the word agent, and the virtual assistant replied, "An active plan or trial is required for live support assistance. I found no current active plan linked to this email."  I don't understand why it tells me this. I bought my Adobe program from Best Buy and its a permanent program, not one that exprires after a certain amount of time.

When you can't properly deactivate a serial number
BE SURE TO ONLY ASK FOR ACTIVATION SUPPORT TO ADJUST YOUR ACTIVATION COUNT
You may need to PERSIST or TRY AGAIN to find a support agent with more experience

    I also clicked the "activated devices," button and it says, "no activated devices."  I can't seem to find support for Premiere Elements, or Photoshop, except through the Community Forum, and I think that an actual Adobe employee is the only one that can help me.
