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.

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 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.

    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?

  • How do I transfer photoshop/bridge to a new computer?

    My iMac died and now I want to use Time Machine to migrate my current PS4 and Bridge to a new MacBook Air.  Have loaded onto the laptop, but get error 6 when I try to open the program.

    Do you have the installation media and serial number, or did you by chance download the software from Adobe.com (so that you could access the download files again) ? I don't think you're going to have any luck using a transfer utility.

  • How do I transfer Photoshop Elements 10 from old computer to new laptop

    How do I transfer Photoshop Elements 10 from old computer to new laptop?

    You need to installed it in the same way as you did on old machine.
    If you like to save one instance of the license then please do de-activate while uninstalling.
    Or if you have already used your "Two" instances of installation then you must need to de-activate one of the machine while
    uninstalling so it will release the instance for new installation.

    just install on your new computer.  if you need the installation file(s), see below.
    because you're limited to two concurrent installations and activations, you may need to deactivate on your old computer.  open your program>click help>deactivate.  or, if you no longer need your software on your old computer, deactivate it.

  • I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

    I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • My computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to the new computer?

    my computer crash how do i transfer my itunes to my new computer?

    I sympathize with roaminggnome - How is this so? I will tell you how this is so.....
    2 Macbooks and an Ipad were stolen from my house. When i was out of the house, I had my phone with me.
    I always backed everything/synced to my computer AND to icloud.
    Now we have a new computer and Ipad and you are telling me I would need to email my 1,600 pictures from my iphone photo albums to myself and reload them to my new computer?
    You have got to be kidding me? I also do not understand how I saved all of my albums to my ipad & on the computer and synced to BOTH the computer AND icloud, but those albums are lost, because they were not on my camera roll?
    1. I need another solution to getting my photos from my iphone to my imac.
    2. How do i recover those albums that were saved to icloud, but I can only "see" the camera roll on icloud.
    I know they are there somewhere - here is why:
    When I first got my (new) Ipad and had downloaded (what i thought was everything) from icloud, I opened up my photos to show someone a picture that night and low and behold the names of several of my albums were in the photo app, but the pictures were all jumbled up. Almost like it was trying to search and organize, but it just wasn't done...... Example - dog album had pictures of leaves or people, not the dog.
    The next day I opened the Ipad & went to photos, no albums, just photo stream, camera roll. Only the pictures that had been taken when we first got the (old) Ipad.
    Can anyone provide assistance??
    thanks!
