Activating a photoshop elements 2022 program purchased before it became a subscription

[rosemarie_1979]

I purchased an  adobe photoshop elements 2022 in Oct d 2022 but did not get it activated at that time. Now Adobe does not accept the serial number from my CD envelope. (wrong number of digits). Can I get a new activation code instead to do it belatedly?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

your activation number consists of 24 numbers (= 6 groups of 4 numbers) and should have been part of your purchase .

In certain purchase situations, your Elements software will require a redemption code to license the software. The redemption code is a 24-digit alphanumeric code.

• Adobe.com    
  • You don’t need a redemption code if you purchased from Adobe.com. Just sign in with your Adobe ID.

• Amazon or other 3^rd party reseller 
  • Boxed product - The redemption code and instructions are printed on an insert in the box. 
  • Electronic Software Download (ESD) - During your online purchase, you’ll receive a redemption code and instructions from the reseller.
  • Amazon purchase - If you purchased from Amazon, see instructions for retrieving your redemption code.
