Hi all,

 

You can deactivate Photoshop Elements from the old computer or for moving the software from one computer to another by following the below steps:

 

  1. Open Photoshop Elements
  2. Launch Editor
  3. Go to Help Menu 
  4. Click on Sign out Or Deactivate

 

Note: The machine should be connected to the internet at the time when you are performing these steps. For more information related to Activation and Deactivation take a look at the following article: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/activate-deactivate-products.html

I don't know where Correct Answer came from, but it does not help getting PE deactivated. If somehow you go to

the PE Help on the PE13 menu bar, you will not see "Deactivate" you will see a Sign Out choice. That tells you, on

a PC to go to Control Panel and Unistall the program. You will be given one choice about saving or deleting preferences,

but no other choice. There is a series of screen shots on one of the Adobe "help" pages that shows more options for

permanently removing the program from your current installation. I've gone through that 4 times now and nothing shows

on my Adobe account under My Products. There are 2 registrations on Mar 6, 2015. I only registered the program on one

machine, my PC, so why are there 2 registrations showing?

Even the Geek Squad has only online info that does not lead to an Adobe human chat site. Sob.

Hell there,

To deactivate the Editor on your older PC, you can begin by launching the application and navigating to the menu bar. From there, select "Help" and proceed to click on "Deactivate." In case this approach doesn't yield the desired outcome, reaching out to support becomes necessary. You can access the support link provided below and choose the option " I need help with deactivation." Often, initiating a live chat session is feasible through this method.

Regards

Devid
