    Hello

    I bought Lightroom from a shop in Switzerland. Setup refuses the activation key, saying that the parcel is a forgery and that I need to contact the customer service. It's Saturday and I would like to install the product by Monday! Is it possible to do? Thanks for your help, best looks.

    Thanks to you two, John and Kglad, for your responses. I have contacted Adobe and they had me download the package from their website. The problem was apparently with the package on the purchased version. Problem solved.

    Best regards.

    Hi Newgirl11,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    We don't have much information about the compatibility of the game with Windows 7, you can see the link below.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/enus/search.aspx?type=software&s=family%20feud

    To work around the problem, you can try to install the game in compatibility mode and check if it works very well.

    To run the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter

    1. Open the program compatibility problems by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.
    2. Follow the instructions contained in the resolution of the problems.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    my computer is installed with windows original 8. When I tried to upgrade to windows pro it asks activation key. but I have the original product key, but I lost my activation key. How can I get my activation code.

    Go to the order summary page, you can find your product key:

    If Windows 8 came preininstalled on your computer:

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

    This isn't Adobe. Rather a user here.

    Questions of pricing (full upgrade price) need answers from Adobe.

    But, she is eligible for the teacher version which is the same program, just a price differently.

    Student software discounts, eligibility student | Adobe

    Please see the bulletin that link above. If you are interested, contact Adobe according to the details of the affair.

    If you have any questions or need any clarification on your workflows in Premiere Elements, feel free to ask.
