How do you install Adobe photoshop when your laptop doesn't have a CD drive?

Hi, I have a Lenovo Ultrabook Thinkpad (X1 Carbon) which doesn' have a CD drive. How can I install my copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 which I have on CD-rom?
Thanks

Carolyn,
Does your Lenovo have a USB 2.0, or 3.0, or a FireWire port?
If so, then I see two methods, but they will involve other equipment, at some point:
Curt's suggestion should work just fine. However, you will need a computer WITH a multi-drive (either internal, or external). With that other computer (maybe even one on display in a computer/electronics store, or at a friend's house), just Copy the full installation disc(s) to a USB thumbdrive, and insert that into the USB port on the Lenovo.
Borrow, or buy, an external USB 2.0, or 3.0, or FireWire multi-drive, and use that to install from. If you borrow, I think that I would do it very slightly differently, and would Copy the installation disc(s) to my internal HDD, and install from there.
Possibility would be to download the program's installation file(s) for the trial (say from ProDesignTools - be sure to read ALL instructions carefully), install, then plug in your S/N to convert that trial to the full-paid version, and Activate. Obviously, you will need an Internet connection for this method. However, since you are posting here, it is very likely that you have an Internet connection available somewhere. This would probably be the way to go, if your Lenovo does not have USB, or FW.
Good luck,
Hunt

    How do you redeem Digital Downloads if your device does not have a DVD drive?

    If the redemption comes only on a disk, then you will have to get access to a DVD drive, either by borrowing or purchasing one, or by using the Remote Disk feature if you have another computer available that does have a DVD drive.

  • Help! How do I download my product if my laptop doesn't have a CD drive?

    Hi! I purchased Adobe CS6 Design Standard at the electronics store at my University. I followed the necessary instructions to get my serial number. However, I'm confused about my next step for downloading my product since my windows laptop doesn't have a CD drive. Help?

    Hi there,
       Happy Christmas and Happy New Year..
       Since your PC/Mac doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, you can go ahead and download the trial version and use your serial number to convert it into a full version. You can find the trial from the below URL:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=design_standard&loc=en_us&promoid=JUEE T
    You can also take a Back-up of the trial version for the future installation.

  • How do I install Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on new MacBook Pro without DVD drive?

    I just purchased my first MacBook Pro and am trying to get everything set up and installed. I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and retrieved my serial number and have the redemption code -- but I can't figure out how to install Photoshop without a DVD drive. The Photoshop package I purchased only provides DVDs and I don't have a DVD drive. Is there a website I can go to to install Photoshop and enter my serial number or redemption code?

    Have you tried downloading the trial version and using your serial
    number to activate it?
    The trial version is a complete product and can be activated by
    inserting the valid serial number.
    Good luck.

    Install it the same way you originally installed it.  If you need to download the installations files or get your serial number you should check your Adobe account online.
    You can also find a good amount of Adobe files downloadable thru the following page...

    If you happen to know the version you need, a more direct link to download it might be available.

    Atejana4u I would recommend you review Install | Premiere Elements | Photoshop Elements | Windows | Mac OS.  It should give you the information you need if you are using a version of Windows or the Macintosh operating system.

    how do you install adobe XI pro on a second computer?

    Provided it is your personal computer and only you can use either computer (it cannot be shared with others), and one is your laptop the other is your desktop, and both are Mac or both are Windows, just install it, because the license allows two copies in this situation.  If you get a message about "too many activations" you will need to contact Adobe, this is a normal part of installing.. If it's to share in a business you must buy a copy for each person; you might consider volume licensing.

    Hi
    To find your anchors again, spread your 2 fingers apart on screen to zoom the canvas out. You should be able to access the Fade anchors again! Hope this helps

    Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop in my laptop and access it without any Internet connection?

    Perpetual versions you can and it possible to to activate them offline.  Offline Activation
    The Creative Cloud versions can be installed offline but you need an Internet connection to activate the installed applications,  I also believe Adobe has recently made the Creative cloud desktop application an mandatory install.  It need not be running at all times however it will be installed.

    Thanks!

    For Photoshop CC:
    You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers.  You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
