Question

Elements 9 - Serial Number

Years ago, I bought a new computer, the computer came installed with Elements 9.  The computer is acting up. In the past, I have done a factory install and Elements has come back up with no issues.  Now it appears the only way, is to do a clean windows 10 install.  This will mean, it won't come back up.  Since I originally purchased the computer, does that mean I own the license?  If so, how do I get the serial number for it?  When I first got the computer, I never registered the software.  I have now tried to resister it, but every time I do, I get the same answer.  Try again later, something about the servers are down.  Is there another way to get the serial number? I have also looked through all the paperwork that came with the computer, and there is no mention of a serial number.

Thanks.

    Since the product was not registered, it is not recorded in your Adobe account.

    Even if you were able to install this old version of PSE, it is problematic that it would work on a modern operating system (WIN10).

    Hello hatstead. The computer originally had Windows 7.  Then I upgraded to Win 10.  So the program worked find when I upgraded to Win 10.  Computer just needs a fresh install, but trying to figure out if I can just download from adobe using the serial number that came with the originally computer, just don't know how.

    Thanks.
