New Here ,
Aug 06, 2025 Aug 06, 2025

So I had Photoshop on this same PC, but it blue screened and had to be reset. But now it's saying to deactivate photoshop on one of my two devices, even though this is the same exact PC.

Please help!

You are simply out of luck.  Adobe changed  their "Activation reset" policy june of last year.  You can forget about using whatever version of PSE you had.   Adobe no longer resets activations. 

NOTE: When you look at you Adobe Account you will see "Activated devices"- That only applies to Creative Cloud subscription programs, such as Photoshop, not Photoshop Elements.

To Glenn, Ah thank you! That makes sense. Thanks!

To Adobe, specifically anyone involved in making that stupid decision, will never buy anything Adobe ever again .
