i just changed my Macbook Pro for a new one with twice the disc space and as much memory and after I did a lock-stock-and-barrel restore, Photoshop Elements is the only program which doesn't work.

It started asking me to activate but when i couldnt find the activation key, the whole program sorta died. Now, when I click on the Photoshop icon,, nothing happens

I still have the product key but have lost whatever install disc I was using five years ago.

Does anyone know where I can download an install file please? For some reason all the links I can find to download the Elements 12 install file have been changed and now only lead to an elements 21 install file.

there's a reason why it 'sorta died'.

elements 12 is ancient (2013) and no longer supported.

I’ve seen several dodgy looking sites claiming to have a download available but I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole!

yeah but I dont like to stop using a useful program (which I paid for) just because it has gone out of fashion.Especially if I dont want to pay for its replacement.

So why are there so many identical broken links to it?

it's not a question of fashion. it's no longer useful because it no
longer works. you got 9 years out of it (assuming you bought it in
2013).

elements is cheap. buy the latest version (which does a lot more than
12 did) and you'll probably get another 10 years out of it.

because it's old.
