Please consider the details of the Adobe Transfer of Product License.
Transfer an Adobe product license
Without further information, I would think - if your friend has some version of Premiere Pro, it is highly likely that this friend is not going to be able to open a project file from either Premiere Elements version 12 or 13 in Premiere Pro. And, what is the computer operating system that you have versus what the friend has?
You need to get more information - attempting to go through the paces of Adobe Product License with a swap of programs does not seem to be the answer.
Please review and consider.
