Elements 13 re-installed but will not open Editor Workspace

I have used Elements 13 for many years on a former computer, and have just successfully re-installed it on a replacement machine. [I have a valid Adobe account where I can see the original Serial Number.] The software loads to the familiar "Welcome" splash, and the Organiser part ot the installation does seem to work correctly.

However, when I attempt to open the Editor, the application hangs with "Loading the Elements Editor Workspace" and offers a pop-up asking me to Sign in and enter an Adobe Id to validate the software. This I can do, of course, and the pop-up reports a successful sign in. However, when I return to the application it seems nothing has changed. I can continue this fruitless circle indefinitely.

Could anyone cast any light on this issue?

I am going to ping @Jeffrey_A_Wright, an Adobe employee who may be able to help.

Did you install it with an Administrator user account?

Try the following:

Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13\
Right-click on the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe file
Select Run as Administrator from the context menu
And/or select the Properties of the file and run it in compatibility mode:

Thanks for the suggestions.

Sadly, no change though. System still prompts for Adobe Id, accepts input of my email and password, tells me I'm now logged it and that I should close the panel and continue where I left off.. System then prompts me to accept the software licence, which I do, but then leaves me exactly where I was., with no options but to repeat the whole loop.

Thanks again..
