How do i transfer adobe programs to new computer?
I do not have the original disks, but I do have my product keys saved in a text file so that's not a problem. I think they also appear somewhere in the programs themselves, right? Anyway, I'm finally upgrading to a new computer and Windows 7 and leaving my beloved XP behind (I'm afraid Microsoft will stop releasing security updates for XP and I don't want to be left a situation). Unfortunately, I have both Adobe CS (the first one) as well as Macromedia Studio 8 on this computer. How do I get them to my new computer without upgrading to newer versions of the programs? I cannot afford the new versions and I'm quite happy for now with what I've got.
Again, disks are long gone. Again, I simply cannot afford to shell out the money for the software upgrades. Not right now. The new computer alone is gobbling up my funds.
I think you'd have to find the software to install from somewhere. They are older products so you might try Softpedia or Download.com or Craigslist or eBay.
The ideal situation is if you could find free trial versions, which you could then activate with your existing product keys.
You'd then have to deactivate/uninstall from your current computer and reinstall to your new one. There may be a way to somehow transfer over the existing program files from XP to Windows 7, but it seems a longshot. I'd say google that one some more to be sure.

I just received a new computer for Christmas and I'm wondering if there is a way to transfer the software I installed on my old computer to my new computer. But wait, there's more, my new computer does not have a disk drive. Any ideas?
Very easy. Tell me what version Photoshop you have and I'll direct you to the proper downloadable installer file.
Have your serial number ready. You can activate on 2 computers, so don't deactivate the old one until you are updated and sure it works on the new one.
As a side note: You never copy or transfer Photoshop to a new computer, you have to install.

How do I Transfer PSE to a new computer?
I have a new computer. I was using PSE 11. I have the key. How do I get it on my new computer?
After installing PSE11 on the new computer it's best to use the backup and restore method to preserve all your keywords, version sets and albums etc. You start in the Organizer on the old PC.

I purchased the Aperture progam last year and downloaded to desk top Mac. I now have a mac book pro and want to transfer the program. Is it possible and How do I do it?
What is your Mac OS X version? And your Aperture Version?
Did you buy from the App Store? When you downloaded Aperture from the App Store, you only need to sign into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to buy Aperture and to download it to your Mac Book Pro from the "Purchased" tab at the App Store. Your licence covers the installation on all your Macs for private purposes.
If you bought a licence key from the Apple Store, not the App Store, copy the installer you downloaded to your Mac Book Pro and run it there. Then unlock Aperture with your licence key.
