Elements Upgrade

[simonr38726121]

I am looking to upgrade from Elements 11 to 18, is the upgrade only available via a download? I would prefer a hard copy as I periodically rebuild my PC (Desktop) and I also use a laptop when away from home so I am not sure how long the download would available for where it is much easier to use a disk to reinstall.

Regards

yes, when you make your purchase you'll download the installation files for the upgrade.  keep the installation files secure and you won't need to download from adobe again.

during installation you'll need both the new serial number that will be supplied after you purchase AND your elements 11 serial number.  you'll also need to secure both numbers for future re-installations.

the link to purchase the upgrade:

I had Elements 7 on my old Windows 7. I have Windows 11 on my ACER need to upgrade my Elements 7

which elements 7 is installed on your win11 computer, or are you actually trying to install one of the elements 7 apps on win11?

and you're trying to upgrade to what?

and what installation files do you have?

what serial numbers do you have?

Elements by download from Adobe http://www.adobe.com/products/elements-family.html

Or go to Amazon if you prefer to buy on DVD

Computer crashes happen... the FIRST time you download a program make an external copy
IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
-you should ALWAYS keep a copy (or two!) on an external device
-since Adobe DOES SOMETIMES REMOVE OLD VERSIONS FROM THE SERVER
-a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a CD or DVD
-plus a text file containing your serial number if you have a serial number program

Amazon no longer has Elements on DVD.  It is a download only.

That is sad... SO many people buy a download and don't make a copy to an external device, and then come here when their old download is no longer available from the vendor

what elements programs from the past decade are not downloadable ?

[John T Smith]

Hmm... got me there... I have v2021 on DVD so have not tried to download any Elements version

i think adobe has v12 and later.
