Late last night I got my Xp machine setup in Windows; left it doing 72 updates!
Later today I will load in PSE 7 and go to my backup to load in my catalogues.
However this question arises from an answer you gave in another thread:-

That person has a working system in which to deactivate.
If I had PSE 9 and my Windows died so that I could not deactivate PSE 9 how would I get another install, having already used the first two? -

Barbara B. May 15, 2011 5:02 AM (in response to athegn)You would need to contact adobe. The message that pops up when it's an activation problem should tell you how to contact the activation folks. Or if you still have one of the other computers, you can just deauthorize it on that one (no need to uninstall it) while you use it on the other one till you get in touch with them.

Ankush Ved May 15, 2011 10:55 PM (in response to athegn)Did you purchased PSE 7 as a boxed version or you downloaded and bought the serial number online from the Adobe.com? If you bought it from Adobe.com, then for PSE 7, you can have activation on just 2 machines.In your case, I am not sure how many entries were removed by OS reinstall, so you can still go ahead and give a try to install PSE on the reinstall XP machine again. In case of any activation issues, try contacting Adobe activation support team.

athegn May 16, 2011 12:16 AM (in response to Ankush Ved)I bought PSE 7 as a boxed version.
I have now reinstalled it on my rebuilt XP machine and, from initial tests - loading my catologues, opening a RAW in ACR 5.6, adding third party filters, it is working; note on this install I did register it!
