I bought another license and now it works.

The previous one was an official license as well but did not work.

Adobe was not able to solve it.

That's really interesting: That's not the correct "build number" for the latest version.  That's a build number for PSE 2020.

That makes me think you are still starting PSE 2020, using the same old icon you had been using before. 

The default location that starts PSE 2021 is here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2021

Based upon your build number posted you just need to use the right icon to start the program with.  

That's a guess, but it's pretty good guess....

I was not able to update my 2021 (19.0) to 2021.1 (19.1) because after the update I have to enter my product key which I cannot find.

That's the reason why I am still using my 2021 (19.0) from October last year (SceernShot).

 

Your ScreenShot looks also a bit strange because it seems you have the latest build but still 19.0 instead of 19.1.

I think this might be a bit misleading, and perhaps is what you are calling "19.1"

(20200826.m.151582) x64

After update to 19.1 I have to enter the license key again.

In the installer window it is called 19.1 but I assume it is the same like 2021.1

Dear User,

 

From the screenshots, it looks like you are still on 19.0 version, that is PSE 2021 and have not updated to 19.1 version, which is 2021.1

PSE 2021 -> 19.0 (20200826.m.151582)

PSE 2021.1 -> 19.1 (20210126.m.155261)

 

Could you share a screenshot of where you are asked to enter the serial key? Serail keys are only asked during launch of application and never during an update or before you update. 

 

Also it is asked on every launch of application, if you are using the application in trial version.

 

Thanks

Vipin

During installation:

After installation:

Stefan5CA0_3-1612887375662.png

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the next bahavior because the last time I selected to use the trial version which seems to be persistent now because I have to use it.

Stefan5CA0_4-1612887532107.png

 

But I remember when I started PSE after the update it asked me to login, which I did, and after that it asked me to enter the product key, which I do not have currently and I do not understand why I need the key for the update which you confirmed already it is not needed for such an update.

Any idea what is wrong with my installation or update?

You do not have to perform any operation while collecting the logs.

You can simply run the log collector tool, it will collect all Adobe related logs from your machines.

 

This will help us investigate the problem, on what went wrong.

Hello Vipin,

 

I uploaded two log files right now as requested in the tool

- one with the initial version

- another after the update to 2021.1

Do I have to share them with you e. g. in this chat as well?

 

Thanks

Stefan
