How do I activate adobe photoshop/premiere elements that came on my Vaio?

[joe_armstrong]

I just recently bought a Vaio (VPCEB3L9E) and it appeares to come with adobe photoshop/premier elements preinstalled, but they need activation.

Are they free and if so- how do I activate them?

Thanks

Hi and welcome.  I hope you are enjoying your Vaio.

Check the specifications that came with your Vaio carefully. 

I don't think any Vaio comes with Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements installed.  They  may come with a link to purchase this software but I believe the only software installed for Pictures/Video is Sony's Picture Motion Browser: -

  Software

Solution Portal	VAIO Gate
Photo/Video	PMB VAIO Edition

If you think that it says anywhere that PSE or PE should be installed then contact Vaio Support for clarification.
