How do I transfer PSE5 to a new computer

I am moving to a new computer (64 bit windows 7) and could use some expert advise.
I already moved my pictures and before installing PSE from disc I am wondering how to transfer the catalog. 

The safest and probably only way to do this efficiently is using the Organizer's Backup and Restore routine.  Check in Elements Help under 'To restore a catalog to a previous version', which applies to your kind of transfer too.
You have to essentially transfer the catalog and photos by this method.  The transfer of the photos that you already made needs to be undone.  I hope you still have everything on the old machine.
First of all install PSE5 and its patch 5.0.2 on your new machine and see if runs properly, both the Editor and the Organizer.  Next go back to the old machine and make that Backup (preferably to an EHD) and then do the Restore on the new machine.
This is a topic that comes up quite frequently, so do some searching around this and other forums for more tips.  You should also look at this tech note from Adobe:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333522.html.

  • 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 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.

    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
