Activate your Elements products to validate your software license and associate them with the computers on which you use those products. Activation is a mandatory process that requires the software to connect to Adobe servers via the Internet. Activation helps protect your computers and environment from malicious code by verifying that you have genuine Adobe software.
When you launch an Elements product, a screen shows the number of days remaining for the trial to expire. On this screen, click Buy now and then follow onscreen instructions to covert your trial to a full version.
Use the serial number you have received to convert the trial version to a full version. The serial number starts with the number 1057 or 1143. You receive the serial number depending on the type of purchase:
Adobe blocks serial numbers that have not been issued by Adobe, or have been used fraudulently by unauthorized sellers to produce counterfeit software. Unfortunately, you may only know the serial number has been blocked for this reason when re-activating or reinstalling Adobe software.
A serial number and a redemption code both have 24 elements. However, a serial number has 24 digits, while a redemption code has 24 alphanumeric digits. If you are entering a redemption code instead of a serial number, you get the following error message:
You are getting this message because you're using an expired serial number to activate your Elements product. This occurs because the software build you were using has expired or the serial number used to license the application had exhausted its validity. In both these cases, you need to buy a new Elements product.
