Activation of Photoshop cs on my new laptop computer

I just purchased a new laptop computer.  I have been using Photoshop cs for a number of years.  I have now installed it to my new computer from my installation cd, but I received a message that it needs to be activated.  I tried to do this, but the activation failed.  I was directed to a 800 telephone number, but was told that telephone activations are no longer available.  I was then directed to chat on-line with someone, who then directed me to this forum.  Please tell me what I need to do to activate my Photoshop cs software on my new computer.  Thanks.

Short answer: download the non-activation version of CS2 (even though you own CS) from the above link and use the serial number provided at that link to license it.
Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • I'm trying to reinstall photoshop CS5 in a new laptop but i have an "The serial number is not valid for this product" error

    I'm trying to reinstall photoshop CS5 in a new laptop (pc) but i have an "The serial number is not valid for this product" error.
    I have deactivated photoshop in the old computer.
    The old laptop have photoshop installed with the DVD but the new laptop don't have DVD so i downloaded cs5 from Download CS5 products. ¿Maybe doing this is an error?

    the installation files work the same whether from a  disc or download, but there are other ways to mismatch a serial and installer.

  • After 6 tries to load Photoshop CS6 on my new laptop, I keep getting the following message after I enter my valid serial number: "Serial number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  What I'm, trying to do is

    After 6 tries to load Photoshop CS6 on my new laptop, I keep getting the following message after I enter my valid serial number: "Serial number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  What I'm, trying to do is download the qualifying product which I purchased just a year ago?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I contacted Adobe support Chat and they confirmed the serial number and gave me a response code number to enter. Once that was entered the product downloaded immediately. The whole process took 10 minutes.  Thank you for your response. I'm all good now.

    It would help if you would tell us which version. If it's PSE 12, just install the trial and enter your serial number into that.

    Which version of PSE? Older versions are simply not compatible. Only 10 and 11 are.

  • Hi I am trying to download adobe photoshop cs5 on my new desktop computer

    Hi I am trying to download adobe photoshop cs5 on my new desktop computer.  The program was purchased several years ago so I called Adobe the other day and had them walk me through how to download on my new computer. I have done all the steps and it downloaded into my downloads folder however not it will not install. It is saying my security preferences allow installations of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.  ???? I don't know how to go about changing these settings? Please help!

    You should be able just to either right click on the installer or Control click and choose Open and then the installer should work.
    (that temporarily overrides the security settings)

  • I want to download Photoshop Elements on a new laptop

    I want to download Photoshop Elements 5 on a new lap top. The serial number is never recognised. Is it possible to download this.

    Hi mikejoan,
    You can download Photoshop Elements 5 from : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    Please check the thread for more information : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195856
    If it's a new laptop then I assume the OS is also the latest one.
    Photoshop Elements 5 is a very very old software and unsupported on latest OS like Windows 8.1 or Mac 10.9.2
    Please consider purchasing the latest version of PSE12.

  • Stolen laptop- moving Photoshop CS6 to a new laptop.

    Hi,
    I have recently had my house broken into and my Mac with Adobe Photoshop CS6 on was stolen. (Student and Teacher addition.)
    I have logged on to my adobe ID in the hope that I would be able to re-download it when I get a new laptop, but I can't see much information regarding this. I have read that I would need to deactivate my old Photoshop on the old laptop, but I obviously cannot do this. Without being able to deactivate the old one, will I be able to move the software across to a new laptop when I get one?
    I have the serial number- but will this not work as it has been used on my old laptop?
    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks in advance.

  • I reinstalled photoshop CS5 on my new laptop . I'm unable to update camera Raw to add Nikon D7000 camera .

    I have reinstalled Photoshop CS5 extened on my new Laptop . I had deactivated and un installed the program from my pc first .I cannot update camera raw to include my Nikon D7000 camera . I now have hundreds of NEF Raw files which I cannot open in Photoshop .

    Hi

  • Install Photoshop Elements 9 on new laptop?

    Hi,
    I have Photoshop Elements 9 on my old laptop and no longer have my disc but do have the serial number.  Can I install on a new laptop?
    Thanks!

    Only if you have the PSE9 installation files.  If you purchased it from Adobe, log in to your account and see if they still offer a download link for your purchase.

  • Upgrading Photoshop and getting onto new laptop

    I have Photoshop CS4 Student Edition on my current laptop and it came with 2 copies (you could put it on 2 computers), but I've had to put both my copies on the laptop because I upgrade my OS at one point from Vista to Windows 7 and the first copy got deleted and I had to reinstall everything.  I'm planning on getting a new laptop soon because my current one has never really been able to handle Photoshop, but I want to have Photoshop on the new one.  If I upgrade to CS6 on my current laptop would I get 2 new copies like when I originally got the program (so I can put the 2nd copy of CS6 on to a new laptop)?
    I only ask this cause I don't have $700 to spend on a whole new Photoshop program and I couldn't find anything about how many copies (1 or 2) you get with an upgrade on the FAQ sections.
    Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

    I've deactivated it on my old laptop, but on my new laptop I get a 150:30 error message: "Licensing for this product has stopped working." How can I activate it on my new machine?

    See if there is a Mac download available thru the following...
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Re-installing Photoshop CS6 in a new laptop

    Hi,
    I have been tying to download my Photoshop CS6 (currently installed in my desktop) on a new laptop/tablet computer (surface pro 3.0). I am getting all kinds of errors including that parts of the program are missing.

    yes, there is but this link should make it more obvious for you.
    if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial via one of the links on this page:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.
