Does anyone know where I can download Adobe Photoshop Elements 8? I have the original, retail box with the certificate of authenticity on it. In the box is the disc's case with a sticker with the serial number on it. I'm just missing the disc and the only thing I can find on Adobe's site is the download for the newer Photoshop Elements 9.
While we only include the option to download a trial of the current version of any of our links, the following link includes information for an alternate means of downloading trials, including older versions. Please read the instructions very carefully, you will be directed to another website to complete the download:

Yes indeed, very poor support. I just got off a chat session with Adobe Support who told me that they can't help. But they did offer to sell me the new version. Very helpful... NOT!

Further to this discussion, there may be issues with the serial number as I believe the numbers distributed on the boxed versions may not work with the downloaded versions and visa-versa.

David,
Thanks for that. I thought I had read that somewhere when I made the last posting but a search couldn't find it.

I'm not 100% certain but I'm sure I've encountered this myself. I think it's a precautionary measure to prevent people pinching the serial number from boxes in shops and then going home and downloading the trial on the back of it.
