Question: How do I register my copy of Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition?
I installed Adobe Photoshop album Starter Edition and requested an unlock code but the code was never received.

The unlock code I received for Photoshop Album Starter Edition does not work.

How do I register my copy of Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition?

Answer: Adobe only supports the newest version of Photoshop Album Starter Edition. The first thing you should do when you encounter registration issues with Photoshop album Starter Edition is visit the Adobe web site and download the current version. When you install it, it will upgrade your installed version and convert your catalog from the prior version. All your photos will be fine.

If you still have problems with your unlock code after installing the latest version of Photoshop album Starter Edition, make sure you are entering the code carefully. Try copying and pasting the code instead of re-typing it, and make sure you have not copied any extra spaces or stray characters at the beginning or end of the code. You can copy by highlighting the code with your mouse, and pressing Ctrl-C. Then go to where the unlock code is entered in Photoshop album and paste by pressing Ctrl-V.

If you have the latest version of Photoshop Album Starter Edition, and you never receive an unlock code after requesting one, be sure to check that the message was not filtered as spam by your e-mail program or provider.

If you still have issues with your Photoshop Album registration, you will need to contact Adobe Customer Support or follow the links below to find an alternative photo management program.

Important note: Your pictures are not IN Photoshop Album. Photoshop Album only creates a catalog (database) of the digital image files on your computer. Your pictures can still be accessed through Windows Explorer or through another photo management program. There are now many better alternatives to Photoshop Album Starter Edition available today. If you are having trouble unlocking Photoshop Album Starter Edition, I suggest you look into another photo manager such as Picasa or Windows Live Photo Gallery, both of which are free.
