Registration

When you first launch Elements, it asks you to register the program. You can run Elements without registering it, but you get a couple of advantages if you register. For one thing, Adobe hangs onto a record of your serial number, so if you ever misplace the number, you can get it from Adobe. Also, when Adobe releases new versions of Elements, there's usually a rebate for registered owners of previous versions. And if you agree to let Adobe send you email, they often offer discounts on other programs, like a big discount on the full version of Photoshop, if you want to move on later.

Note

In the Registration pull-down menu, you can choose to have Elements remind you to register a week from now, or you can choose not to register. If you choose the latter option and change your mind later on, go to Help → Registration (in either the Editor or the Organizer) to bring up the Registration window.
