Photoshop elements 7 software I purchased blocked for not having a subscription

[bill_2401]

Why am I not allowed to use Photoshop Elements 7 software I purchased.   It says I am required to have a subscription.  How can Adobe force users of past purchases to have a subscription?

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.
