Cannot activate my purchase of Elements Pro

I just purchased Elements Pro. I have my receipt from PayPal, showing that the purchase went through. I downloaded and launched Elements. It asked for my email in order to send me an activation code. I entered my email. I received the email and clicked on the green box that said “verify account“.

It opened a window on my Mac and asked me to enter my email again and the five digit code I got in the email. I entered them and now it says “an error occurred trying to activate. Please check your email address and activation code.” I have checked both and they are correct but it won’t let me activate the software.

Sorry to hear you’re having issues, let’s try and get to the bottom of this for you.

This is to sign you into Elements Cloud, you just need to click the link in the email we send you (within 15 minutes).

I’m wondering if you’re getting mixed up with your license number for Elements, and the Elements Cloud login code.

Can you post some screenshots?

Thank you for your response. You were right. I had not yet received the email giving me my software license key. I had only received the email with the 5 digit code. It had been a half an hour since I made the purchase, so I assumed that 5 digit code was the number I needed. But, a few minutes after I posted my problem on the forum, I finally received the email with the receipt and license key. Everything is copacetic and I was able to activate the software using the licensed key. Thank you again for your response, Dan.

Hurrra! Glad you got it all sorted :smiling_face:
