And in case you want to other applications, it possible form within your default application. E.g. - If you select to launch Editor always, you can launch Organizer & Welcome Screen from Editor. Home button launches Welcome Screen and there is another icon for Organizer as well.As you may noticed that it has a limitation that you can only opt for launching one application always. So if you select to launch Editor always, and want to use Organizer during one of the session, you first need to launch Editor and then Organizer can be launched from Editor.

'Licensing for this product has stopped working' - Why does this come and how to resolve || Licensing Probelm in Adobe Photoshop Elements

Many times I have seen people discussing about Licensing problems and usually this happens after upgrading to a new machine or Operating System. Here is a very clean workaround shared on Adobe.com, but I also thought of sharing some information about the reasoning of this problem to set right context.

When we buy an Adobe Photoshop Elements, we get a serial number with the CD or downloaded version. Serial is important to ensure that we are using genuine software with appropriate functionality available. On installing PSE on a computer with a serial means that we have activated the serial for using Adobe Photoshop Elements on that particular computer. Till the time one serial is in full use, we can't use on extra machines. Now if we upgrade the machine or operating system and reinstall PSE with same serial, this problem occurs. So the right way of installing PSE on upgraded computer or Operating System is by deactivating the serial activation, before we use same serial on another computer. 

If you are facing this problem, try following article shared on Adobe website and it should be helpful in resolving your problem. - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html?promoid=FCSBS

Please feel free to comment back with your experiences in same regard.
