My Win 11 Pro suffered A BSOD after which I had to reinstall all my programs.  Trying to reinstall Premiere Elements 2024 & got error msg that I needed to deactivate "computer" before reinstalling same program.  How do I do that after the fact ?

Since you no longer have access to your old installation, you'll need to contact Adobe Customer Care and they'll do it at their end.

 

Post your request on the virtual assistant that pops up on the right side of this page.

Adobe support will no longer reset an activation count... if you can't DE-activate (lost or crashed computer) and you are receiving an 'activations are used up' or any other activation message there is no solution
