Hi,

 

I had a 30 day trial installed of Photoshop Elements 2022. After the trial ended, I decided to buy a license which I did today. After entering the serialno, an error was shown that the serial was invalid. 

Looking closer I saw that I had received a license for Elements 2023, so I uninstalled 2022, and started the installation of Elements 2023. 

However, the installation ended with error code 195, saying that my system does not meet the minimal system requirements. I cannot upgrade my system, it runs Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 so now I'm stuk and it feels I flushed $99 down the toilet.

What are my options?

If you want to stick with your aging 2012 Mac Mini, you'll have to contact Adobe Support for a refund. Then see if you can find Elements 2022 at a reputable retailer such as Amazon.

 

Or upgrade to a new Mac and run Elements 2023.

 

Keep in mind that you're fast approaching a crossroads for when you upgrade your Mac Mini. Most new software will now be dropping support for Catalina.
