How do I activate Photoshop on my new computer?

( sorry to be taking so long to reply: I've got small grandchildren
bedding down on the floor of my study for their visit with us..so I have
limited access to my computer..)
Yes,
I've tried to download that version, but the installation date given for
the program shown on my computer indicates it is the old version, which
I had used for making chapter illustrations I needed a few months ago
(under the 30 day grace period for updating what I hadn't realized was
an old program). That is also the one that stated when I tried to open
it that the serial number was incorrect (taken from the WIN CS2 line on
the table in the provided Adobe). Is it possible that I need to
uninstall my original CS2 version (which I had downloaded from the disk
seven or so years ago)? Is that program preventing the "upgrade"
("retrograde"?) from the website?
Later- I have also just discovered a charm for additional Photoshop
program labeled "Adobe Image Ready CS2" on my start window. It appears
to function like the original CS2. Is that the non-activation version
you mention and that I had indeed downloaded this CS2 version? If so,
that's it. If so also, should I delete the original CS2 program or is it
needed for the Image Ready CS2 version to properly function?
Thanks.

I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate. The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

How to move to Photoshop Elements and new computer

Hi, I've been using Photoshop Elements for several years, but am new to the forum. I recently got a new Windows 7 computer and moved all my files, including photos, using a Windows 7 migration cable. I was using Photoshop Elements 6 on my old Windows XP computer and want to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 8 on the new computer. How do I get my catalog into PE8? Based on what I'm seeing in the posts on this forum, I'm thinking that I've gone about this the wrong way. It looks like maybe I should delete my photo files from the new computer, then install PE8 on the old computer, do a backup in PE8, and restore the backup on the new computer in PE8. Does this make sense, or can someone suggest a better way to do this? Thanks for your help.

I should delete my photo files from the new computer, then install PE8 on the old computer, do a backup in PE8, and restore the backup on the new computer in PE8.
That is definitely the most reliable method. You're changing three things at once: new computer, new version of Windows, new version of PSE. The catalog conversion process (upgrading to a new version of PSE) and backup/restore are both fairly buggy, so it's wise to do one step at a time to make troubleshooting and workarounds much easier. It's also better to use the most recent (less buggy) PSE 8 to make the backup, rather than PSE 6.
People are tempted to take a shortcut on this and try to use PSE 8 on the new computer from a PSE 6 backup. That will often work, but when it doesn't, they then waste a lot more time trying to make it work. As the Car Talk Guys used to say, "It's the cheapskate who pays the most."
See this FAQ for tips on converting from PSE 6 to 8:

Activate photoshop on a new computer new windows version

Hi, I have problems using the photoshop CS on my new computer. It asks me to contact Adobe to activate it. I could not do this any way it has suggested.

The activation servers for CS and CS2 have been taken down. Adobe has a non-activation copy of Photoshop CS2 free of charge for you. Download the installer and use the serial number listed next to it.

How can I put photoshop on a new computer

I may be getting a new computer and I want to know if I will be able to put the photoshop I already have on another computer?

Yes. If you plan to scrap or sell the first computer remember to deactivate the software first (Help> Deactivate for PSE11 and earlier, Help> Sign Out for PSE12.
If you intend to keep the first computer you can still install PSE on the new (you are allowed to have two activated computers with your PSE licence) but you should not use both concurrently.
Cheers,
Neale

How do I install Photoshop on my new computer using my original installation disc?

I get a message that I must check a box that indicates it will search my hard disc. Of course, the new hard disc has no record of installation. It seems be geared for installing an upgrade.

Which version of Photoshop are you trying to install?
Upgrade or full version?
Which operating system?

How do I get Photoshop CS1 on newer computer?

I have Creative Suite 1 Standard, yes, CS1, on a G4. It works great. I'm trying to get it installed on a G5 with OS 10.5.1 and 2GB of Ram.
Interestingly, InDesign and Illustrator went in fine and launch fine. Yet, I really only want Photoshop. Every time I launch Photoshop, I get "Validation Error". And, have tried everything I've read about it with no luck. Making matters worse, I bought Elements 6 for Mac, installed it, and discovered I cannot open CMYK TIFFS.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Again, I'm just looking for Photoshop to run on the G5
Thanks.
Mike

Have you tried running the updater in the help menu of the apps you can open? It will get the updates for all the apps.
I got the same thing but I have CS2. After 5 or 6 errors PS did finally open and worked fine.
Running the updater got rid of the errors.
