How do I move Photoshop CS4 to a new computer?

I would like to move Photoshop CS4 from an old computer to a new one. Both are MacBookPros. Do I deactivate the license and then reactivate it?

The first thing you should know is that you can't "move" Photoshop to another computer. You must reinstall from the discs using your serial number.  Migrating or recovering from backup will give you a licensing error.
Since you have two activations. You can install and activate it on your new Macbook.  You'll want to keep CS4 on the old Macbook as a backup unless you are selling or disposing of it. It's a good idea if the CS4 runs into problems on the new Macbook. (Hopefully not)
That's it. Any further questions, let me know

  • How do I transfer photoshop cs4 to a new computer?

    I would like to move PS CS4 from my old computer to new.  I took a backup of a download from several years ago and ran setup but when I run SETUP, the window with "Checking System Profile" never ends.  Stuck there.  I have deactivated PS from my previous computer.

  • How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

    How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
    My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer.  I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting.  Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
    I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc.  That's not the issue.  It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
    Thanks.

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear. 
    However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer.  How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

  • How do I transfer my cs4 to my new computer

    How do I transfer my cs4 to my new computer having already used it 3 times. I understand I have to remove registration from my old computer

    Run Help --> Deactivate. If that's not possible, call support to reset activations.

  • How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer

    How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer. I cannot find the original documentation with serial number etc

    For downloads of CS3 see THIS thread.
    For your serial number, if Photoshop is still running on your old machine;
    Start Photoshop. Goto Help > System Info. Buried in amongst all the stuff in there will be your serial number. Read through it carefully.
    If Photoshop is not installed / running on your old machine, then you are indeed pretty much hosed.
    This is always assuming software that old will run successfully on a new machine, of course.

    how to move photoshop cs6 to a new computer

    1. Be sure you have your serial number.
    2. If you have only used one of two installs, install and activate on your new computer (as a precaution), then proceed to step 3. If your second install is currently used, proceed to step 3 without installing.
    3. Deactivate on you old computer and uninstall. To deactivate, open Photoshop and go to Help>Deactivate.
    You may use Photoshop on two computers at any one time. By deactivating, you may change to different computer(s).
    You can find the installer here: Download CS6 products

  • I got a new computer but my itunes is still on my old computer.  how do i move my itunes to my new computer and get it off of my old computer

    I now have my daughter's old laptop computer.  She had her itunes account on it previously and now has her music libraries, etc. on her new laptop.  I just uploaded itunes to her old computer so I can put my own music on the computer.  But itunes still shows my daughters 2 apple devices on the old laptop - her iphone and her ipod.  How can I put my devices on the old laptop and make sure I don't mess up her devices that she syncs, etc. to her new computer?  I have an 'older' nano that I put music on years ago using a laptop (that no longer works) that I'm trying to put more music on.  I also just got an ipad so am using my new apple account now (I can't even remember my old account information).

    Hi BeckyNJ,

    I found the following information that may help you transfer your iTunes library from your previous computer to this new one:

  • How do you move songs/playlists to a new computer?

    Have uploaded songs from CD's and created playlist and want to move them to a new computer.  What is the best way to do this?

    See these support docs for options: How to move your music to a new computer and How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer.
    My recommendation is to backup the library to an external drive with the method in this User Tip, and then use the same tool to restore the backup onto the new computer. Thereafter you would backup your library on a regular basis to ensure against disaster.
