Before I reinstall my Adobe Products I need to get the serial number off them

[latoyab22582205]

I need to reset my computer back to factory setting which will delete my Photoshop element 12 and my adobe acrobat DC.   I had these programs over 2-3 years maybe more so I dont have the original serial number, so before I do this can someone please tell me how I can obtain these number directly from my the program on my computer.  I dont want to pay for these program again

Thank you

Which operating system?

If you registered the software, have you tried signing in to your Adobe account online and retrieving them there?

Find the serial number of your Elements product

I hope you find them, but remember that the serial number is what you paid for. Keep it safe. Don't just keep it on the computer, as that could be lost. I have a folder for such things.

I have a rolodex for passwords, pins and serial numbers.
