Can I get upgrade pricing for Photoshop Elements 2023 coming from an obsolete version?

The real test, even if you got the upgrade version, would be whether or not the pse 1 serial would be accepted at installation time.

@Peter27773638b5g3, I assume that you received an email notification for a Private Message that was sent to you on the forum.  Can you please tell us the name of the "person" who sent you the Private Message so we can get them banned from using the forum.

I don't think the serial number from a bundled version will allow the discount.

I have PSE 5.0 that was bundled with a scanner, and it was not eligible for upgrade pricing.

If Bob is correct about this, you can always request a refund within 30 days of purchase.  Or contact Adobe Support and they will either honor the information given to me in a chat or allow you to pay the $20 for a full version and make the appropriate change to your license.

(And, Bob, are you sure you are not talking about Photoshop LE 5.0 which is another precursor to Elements and was bundled with other products?  I think I received mine with a graphics card.)

Hmmm . . .  I just did a Google search and found a sealed copy of Photoshop Elements 2.0 available for sale and Photoshop Album was included with it.  Album obviously morphed into the Organizer.

Peter, I have just asked Adobe Support whether the discount is available for you.  I was shocked to learn that it is!!

Here is a transcript of my chat:

I have also been using Elements since the beginning, and probably received my first copy with a scanner purchase.  But I am a little hazy about the naming conventions.  My recollection is that the first version was called Photoshop Album.  It then became Photoshop Elements 2.0 which was also probably a freebie.  Do you have a disc that actually says Photoshop Elements in its title?  (First releases of software don't usually have a version number 1).
