Premier Elements Activation issue

Hello.

 

I have a new laptop and want to install my Premier Elements 14 on it. I deactivated it from my old laptop with no issue. Now when I put in the (confirmed official) license, it says it cannot validate the license and to get in touch with customer service. Which I did on Chat. They asked for my number and sent me this message;

 

Support is no longer available for your product version. Phone and chat support is not available for free or discontinued software or services. You are welcome to visit our Community Support Forum: https://community.adobe.com/ where you can post questions, and potentially find answers for your product version. The forums are updated by other Adobe product users, worth noting that the community experts will not be able to assist with : registration, activation, download, and/or installation issues

I don't know what to do next. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Type "Agent" in the chat box to bypass the chatbot and be connected to a person
-Meaning type in the word Agent without the quote " " marks

I am having the same issue with registration of Premiere Elements, version 13 on a High Sierra iMac. Can't find how to find the chat box or support.

 

Even with unrestricted Safari blockers and open privacy settings... the chat box does not display in the new webpage as indicated above.

 

I am the original purchaser and sole user, always have been. Bought the product retail in the U.S. and I am looking at the original packaging and discs as I type. This was not ebay, gray market, downloaded, 99 Cents store, etc. It's legit. And, there has never been a problem reinstalling PREL in the past.

 

I am also a longtime CC subscriber of PS and AI.

 

The serial number for PREL is indicated on my Adobe account, but after a fresh install of my OS and apps, and then PREL, I continue to get an error message that "can't log in to the internet to verify the serial" something like that.

 

Well... my internet is working perfectly fine, and the email for my account is 100% correct. I re-entered my account email address and password. Still no luck.

 

I can't use Adobe legacy software that I own, and can't find any text/chat/email/telephone contact to resolve a simple issue? Are Adobe products so error-free that a support ecosystem is not longer necessary?

 

I just want to finish my video products.

Not sure how it helps. My PS and AI 2020 work fine under High Sierra, I can login into my Adobe account with my computer and Safari 13.2. 

 

Is my legacy Premiere Elements 13 using some old technology to activate the software?

FYI... the chatbox icon does not appear unless all cookies are accepted. 

 

Adobe spent 2 hours mirroring my system, exploring and resetting things, network stuff, deleting, being put on hold to speak with "supers", restarting.

 

No matter what was done, the activation problem never went away. I bought the CD package years ago, new from a legit retailer, I have installed this software on my computer, always running High Sierra, never had a problem until now. Apart from a clean install of OSX High Sierra recently, my configuration hasn't changed. Well... I bought a new mouse.

 

And, I am a CC user and never had issues like this.

 

In the end, the problem is not solvable. The Adobe agent gave me a weblink to upgrade to ver 15 along with the serials. He made a heroic effort, commendable, and I'm surprised his "supers" allowed him to spend so much time on a marginal product in the Adobe lineup. Great job Adobe, I didn't expect that kind of effort.

 

Vers 15 works perfectly... as vers 13 did previously.
