How many computers can I put Photoshop on?

I read somewhere that you can have it on up to two comptuters (home and work) but only one may be used at a time.
But can it be installed on two laptops?
my other question is if i were to get a macbook next year would i be able to transfer my photoshop over to the mac and deactiviate it on one my other laptop?
I just need some questions answered before I go out and make a huge purchase lol
Thanks for any advice.

I've wondered about the EULA - any idea why the license is for one user?  It would seem to me that a software manufacturer can control the usage of legal copies on one computer at a time through the activation process, but there is no way they can control WHO is using the computer.  If Adobe is worrying about more than one professional designer making money with only one license - that seems pretty far-fetched to me, since the activation process doesn't let them use the product at the same time.
Aside from the licensing issue, if the OP's Mom is not familiar with Photoshop and doesn't want to spend all her free time learning how to use it, Photoshop Elements might be a good holiday present for her instead of expecting her to help finance the professionally priced Photoshop
(Though if the OP is a student, Photoshop should be affordable enough at the education price.)

    How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

    No, if you mean can you copy the installed version over. That never works because PSE is a highly complex program that strews stuff all over your hard drive and you can never hope to find all the bits and bobs. You should deactivate it on the computer you no  longer need, then install from scratch on the new machine.

    Can I use my software on two computers?
    If you own, or are the primary user of, a single-user or volume license Adobe product that is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on one secondary computer of the same platform at home or on a portable computer. However, you may not run the software simultaneously on both the primary and secondary computers.
    so the answer must be Yes :-)

    Not true...you can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit.
    A device is an iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac or windows PC
    Again, false...devices are NOT computers.

  • How many computers can I install Photoshop (and other adobe programs on)?

    Hi. I was wondering how many computers I can install a purchased version of Photoshop onto (or other Adobe products)? Can I install one copy onto two systems I own, eg: my desktop and laptop? Or only one total? Can I buy additional licenses for that version if needed? What about with older products Eg: Photoshop 4 Extended, or another?
    Thank you.

    I'll reply to my own post witht his for anyone else who wants it. i jsut chedked out Photoshop 5's system requirem
    ents and just found out yes there are two licenses or more - if you pay.

    Anyone want to add anything: Please do.
    I would like to say that being able to add software onto 2 systems, especially software for productivity and fun, is highly important. This is something Adobe needs to keep doing and a lot of other companies too. Plus it is something some companies need to look into if they can set up the system right. This is one reason I am planning on buying one companies software for music production over the other (which also requires the usb key/lock or company #2's product doesn't work). It is a good selling point for someone like me with a desktop and laptop, cost is a factor with double programs.

  • How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements on?

    I have photoshop elements downloaded on my desktop. I would like to have it on my laptop as well. Is that a possibility? If so, how do I go about downloading it to my laptop?

      Yes you are permitted two installations. Use your original disk if you have the boxed product.
    If you purchased from the Adobe store, details are usually available for three years from the date of purchase.
    Click the red Adobe logo at the top left of this forum page.
    Then click My Adobe >> My Orders
    Log in to your account using your Adobe ID
    Expand your purchase history using the small black triangles to the left of the purchase date and if a download is still available for your product it will be shown to the right.
     

  • How many computers can you put LR3 Educ. on?

    My daughter has LR3 on the family desktop PC and she wants to use it at school on her laptop. Can she run Lightroom 3 Educational on both computers? 

    For a definitive answer, read the EULA that comes with the software.
    If it works like the standard edition, she can run it on two computers, just not simultaneously.

    I have two computers and one iWorks. Can I install it on both? I imagine if I'm not supposed to, it won't let me. I don't wan't to be stealing it.
    Thanks!

    In fact, you can't install iWorks, there is no such a product. Maybe you asked about iWork

  • How many computers can I use Photoshop and Lightroom on?

    I have Photoshop CC and Lightroom installed on my laptop. I bought a new HP Touchscreen 2 days ago. Can I also have Photoshop and Lightroom installed on it or will I have to delete the ones on my laptop before installing them on my new computer?

    You are allowed to have the software installed/functional on two machines.  If your HP meets the specifications for the software then you should not have an issue with having it installed on both.
