PSE 18 Software License Agreement Loop

[micar74]

I'm using a purchased version of PSE 18 and have recently encountered the issue of the Adobe SLA pop up appearing with the only options available being QUIT or ACCEPT, and constantly reappearing even though I have clicked accept. The application will not launch but I can't get past the pop up. I've searched forums for a solution and have been dismayed to find:

1. Literally hundreds of users have reported the same or a similar problem
2. The problem has existed for years (surely Adobe you could have fixed this bug by now!)
3. Finding a simple solution and quickly is impossible (most posts went unanswered)

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and I've tried the tip about deleting SLcache but that only caused another error. Can somebody from Adobe or anybody on the forum please provide a fix.
