Why am I receiving an activate Elements message? My subscription does not expires until May 2026 and it is only March! First thing I did was check for an update. So, I am now updated to the latest version however, Elements is still asking for a License Key! What is going on? Is anyone else experiencing this? ---

The license key thing happened to all of us. Some server error. ---
