How to install adobe photoshop elements 12 and adobe premiere elements 12 on a computer with no cd drive?

Hi
A few months ago I bought Adobe Photoshop elements 12 and Adobe premiere elements 12 to my old laptop. But a few weeks ago I had to buy a new computer and that one has no cd drive :S How can I install my  programs on my new computer?
Thank you

There isn't much good news to offer.  The first mention below is probably your only shot without purchase, unless you could find someone to transfer licenses with.
You won't be able to install a Windows version on the Mac unless you install some Windows emulation software on the Mac.
You won't be able to activate a Mac version of the software on the machine because your license/serial number is only valid for Windows.
CS5 is too old to qualify for a platform swap and Adobe no longer sells CS5 so you would have to take your chances with a third party vendor if you decided to purchase a Mac version.
Just to clarify, there is no such thing as a student version of the software... the license dictates the status of the software.  So you won't be able to find a student version either

  • How are Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Lightrom different

    Hi,
    I found two products as "ADOBE PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM" and other one says "ADOBE LIGHTROOM".
    Below is the snapshot as well which is getting me confused.
    Appreciate the help!!!
    Thanks,
    Regards,

    Quote "No-one but Adobe understands why Adobe insists on referring to Lightroom as both Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom."
    Up to a few months before Lightroom was released in the market and still in "Beta" mode the decision was made to change the name from "Adobe Lightroom" to "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom". This was a poor decision on Adobe's part and has led to confusion to what Lightroom is as a product.
    Lightroom is in effect an alternative to "Bridge and the Adobe Camera Raw Plugin" that is available for the use in Photoshop CS and Photoshop Elements.
    Lightroom is not Photoshop and the inclusion of the name only causes confusion.  

  • Have Adobe Photoshop 2014 and Adobe Bridge 2014 and just uninstalled CS6 Photoshop which also removed Bridge. Have an iMac with Mavericks Os X and downloaded DNG Converter V8.6. When connecting SD card in card reader it doesn't open up in Bridge Photo Dow

    Please any assistance would be appreciated thanks. The Photo Downloader doesn't open up automatically but it did when CS6 was still on my system.

    dcooka,
    Thank you for replying.  I hope you get some answers from Apple... Please report back if you do.

  • CS3 has been installed (from a DVD) and running on a brand new computer with Windows 7. After a de-installation and re-installation (for "external" reasons), Acrobat 8 Professional demands the Serial Number, but doesn´t accept it.

    I´ve been sent here by the Adobe Support but haven´t found a matching problem yet.
    It´s a minor problem (the same Serial Number has been accepted in the course of the first installation), but seeking help took me several hours already.

    I´ve been following the same installation procedure as for the first time. There is just one DVD in the set with all the installation files. The only change is the "Invalid Serial Number" message in the very end. Then, a windows appears which announces that "the trial period" continues -- as if I had downloaded the program from some website.

  • Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

    I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble.  Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system.  I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem.  Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys  E3000 Router.  When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router.  I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but...  When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot.  During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung.  I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system.  This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode.  I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS.  The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go.   I was forced to terminate it from the task manager.  I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
    A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have.  The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows.  I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP.  Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers.  To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system. 
    What I seriously need to know is this:  When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64?  Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them.  I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software.  Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions.   As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
    I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it.  Any recommendations?

    Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7.  But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now.  This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

  • Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Purchase

    I am looking to buy Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere BUT before I do, I would like to know how I will get it onto my new computer that I plan to buy in a couple of months?  If I download it now, will I have to buy it AGAIN in a couple of months?

    No, you can just download it again through your adobe account or download the trial (same file) and enter your serial number.

  • Compare Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Elements 7

    Hi,
    I need to compare features of Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Elements 7.
    I need to know how CS4 can be better than Elements 7  and viceversa.
    It will be very helpful to know this information.
    Thank You

    Elements 7 uses the base code from CS3 so you won't find many comparisons to CS4. If you google around there are a ton of comparisons between PSE 7 and PS CS3, though.

  • I can't download the Adobe Edge Reflow. The file's downloading is successfull but the file doesn't go to my Creative Cloud so I can't install the programme. I have already install the Photoshop CC and the Reflow Plug-in for Photoshop. May I ask help? :) T

    I can't download the Adobe Edge Reflow. The file's downloading is successfull but the file doesn't go to my Creative Cloud so I can't install the programme. I have already install the Photoshop CC and the Reflow Plug-in for Photoshop.

    Hello
    1. I am running on Windows 8.1
    2. When running the installer file from https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/reflow I get the following choice
    I click "OK" which doesn't do anything for me (CC is off).
    I turn CC on and run the installer again. I get the following window that within few settings disappears:
    Then - just for half a second it says "Launching Creative Cloud desktop" and then it brings CC to front, and that's all.
    RF still not there.
    3. I spoke ta support agent on the Adobe chat on Friday. He looked into my computer for an hour. Uninstalled After Effects (after failing to update it). For some reason all apps disappeared from the list. They then reappeared after he opened PS.
    This morning After Effects is still showing up in my system and is operational.
    Weird.
    4. At the end the agent suggested maybe Firewall is the problem here. Trying that out now.

    You have not provided any system info nor the exact error messages, so nobody can know what is going on.
