Tryring to install Photoshop Elements 15 on a new computer...

This is a good time to upgrade from 10-year-old software to a supported app that's compatible with your new computer.   You wouldn't install old, worn out tires on a brand-new car, would you?

No I wouldn't install old, worn out tires on a brand-new car but this isn't the same thing.  I bought photoshop elements and premeire elements version 15.  It still works just fine for what I need but I can no longer activate it..my tires are not worn out.

@clodge169 

do you want to activate it and, if so, why can't you activate it?

While 10-year-old software may work fine on your old computer, it's not built for new systems. If you're married to old software for sentimental reasons, keep using it on your old computer.  Or replace Elements 15 with supported software for your new computer.  Your choice.
