Installing old photoshop

Years ago I purchased Photoshop CS4 with an education license and installed it on my then laptop. I just purchased a new laptop and want to install the software. The instructions says to go to adobestudentlicensing and enter the coupon code to obtain the serial number. But it does not recognize the coupon code. How do I go about installing this? Thanks.

If you registered your software, your serial number would be on file with the email address and personal information you gave them.
You could contact customer service and give them what information you have. I hope you still have that same email address you did in 2010.

Installing old Photoshop Elements on a new computer

I have an old version of Photoshop Elements and a new MAC. It was previously installed on my PC which crashed. But the new MAC won't let me install this software - it tells me there is an error with the install.

OK... so this is an OLD version - it is 4.0 (2006). My MAC is running OS X Version 10.8.2. The installation begins and some of the files begin installing then it quits and the message reads: "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
Thanks

OLD PHOTOSHOP 4.0 and 6.0 install in Windows 8.1

I have an OLD PHOTOSHOP 4.0 CD and a PHOTOSHOP 6.0 UPGRADE CD.
I am running Windows 8.1
I had no problem in Windows 7 installing the 4.0 CD - then the UPGRADE 6.0 over that.
But Windows 8.1 would not allow an install of PHOTOSHOP 4.0 but probably would accept a full PHOTOSHOP 6.0 install...... but I only have the 6.0 UPGRADE.
So I have a Catch 22.
If I try to install the 6.0 UPGRADE CD first it wants to look through my HDD for the 4.0 install first.
But - it isn't there cause it wouldn't install on Windows 8.1.
WHAT TO DO ???????

You should not need to have 4.0 installed, you should only need the serial number from it to confirm the upgrade installation of CS6. When you are activating CS6 it should provide the option of specifying the serial number for 4.0 when it is unable to find a qualifying version on the machine.

I have an I-mac with Max OS X vers. 10.6.8. Have tried to install both an old Photoshop 7.0 and an Photoshop Elements but it does not work. 7.0 I bought many years ago end the Elements came with a Canon scanner. What to do? Regards Peter Lindgren

Before installing new activation-free version of CS2, during uninstall of old Photoshop, should I ke

Before installing new activation-free version of CS2, during uninstall of old Photoshop, should I keep or remove preferences and should I use standard or advanced uninstall?

Thank you very much for that info.
Also, I believe I will need to choose the Advanced uninstall option because the Standard uninstall states it will keep activation data. As I will need to use the new activation number, I think Advanced is the more thorough way to go.
Thanks again.

CS upgrade install can't find old photoshop - need unlocking key

Well, I guess I can't call support anymore. I had to do a reinstall of windows and now I need to reinstall my Creative Suite Standard. It is an upgrade version and works off an old copy of Photoshop that I had. In the past, a few years ago, when I set this up I had problems with the upgrade not recognizing the old Photoshop. I ended up calling in to support and my licenses were verified and the old Photoshop did fulfill the requirement to install the upgrade. The person on the phone had me do some special hold a key and click and enter an "unlocking key". I believe this is different than an unlock code. The one they gave me last time does not work. Again, I don't seem to be able to call them anymore. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

Can I install my Photoshop Elements CD on my new computer? My old computer crashed

My computer was hit my lightning and crashed. Can I install my Photoshop Elements 8 on my new computer? I have Windows 7 on the new computer and I saved the DVD with Serial number on it.

Hello!
Could you tell us if you are talking about Photoshop 4.0 that was released in 1996, or Photoshop CS4 (PS 11), or Photoshop elements 4?
Older version might not work if your C: drive is bigger than 1TeraByte.

Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on multiple computers: invalid serial number

I need to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer in place of my old one. However, when trying to use the original installation disk, the serial number I enter comes up as 'invalid'. Is this because I've already used it once? If so, is there any way to still install Photoshop Elements 10 for the second time?

Contact serial number support by phone or web chat.

Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements Causes My Computer to Cut Out on Booting UP!

I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer running windows 7 64 bit. I did not appreciate the problems. The first time that I installed it the computer shut down as soon as it was loaded and from then onwards it shut down within seconds of the computer booting up into windows. I used system restore to take the computer back to before Elements 10 was installed. The computer kept on switching off after windows had booted up. Took it into the technician who thought the PSU was at fault and he put in a new unit. The computer then worked fine until I installed Elements 10 and again the computer switches off as soon as windows as booted up. I have again used system restore to take the computer back to before Elements 10 was installed, still it switches off shortly after booting into windows. What can I do to get things to work properly? I have a brand new computer that I am unable to use as a result of installing Elements 10. I am typing this on my old computer running Vista 34 bit with Elements 10 installed and all working well. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I have had a similar experience - Elements organizer crashed and even when not running, my computer froze after a few minutes. My PC had never crashed before this installation.
I found a solution though...
After a little sleuthing using task manager, I found that all the memory in my system (4GB) gets suddenly hogged (within seconds) by the "Elements Organizer" process (3GB) ... I found the service correspponding to this process, "Adobe Active File Monitor v10", stopped it and set autostart to manual. My PC no longer crashes.
I think Adobe needs to look into this one - it has all the hallmarks of a nasty memory leak.
A couple of possible clues as to why certain systems don't take well to this service:
- I have a few very large video clips (2hours+) on my PC
- I installed trial products like light room, CS5 before settling on Photoshop+Premiere Elements - could leftovers after uninstalling cause conflicts?
- I have other video editors on my system that I don't use, like Corel VideoStudio and Sony Vegas.
Thoughts?

Can anyone tell me how I keep everything I had in my old photoshop, now I've updated to Photoshop CC 2014. It did give me the option to transport over all my presets, but because I didn't have internet access at the time, it couldn't do it. Now I'm not getting the option. Please help.

Migrating Presets does not require a network connection and you can still migrate your cc presets if you still have CC installed. Use Photoshop menu Edit>Presets>Migrate Presets... Migrating presets only migrates presets. It does not migrate Plugins, settings, extensions and scripts. CC 2014 is also not completely backwards compatible with CC. Support for Flash Panels and Oil Painter filter have been removed. So extensions like mini bridge no longer work in CC 2014

Help Installing Old CS2 Onto New Hard Drive

Please Help!!!
5 years ago I bought my iMac G5 and Adobe Photoshop CS2. Just last week my hard drive "died" and I had to get a new one. I found and pulled out my old Photoshop CS2 disc and tried to install.
When I entered the serial number, installation said that this was an upgrade serial number and I had to provide the previous version's serial number. I don't remember there ever being a previous version. We bought everything new: the computer, CS2, and a couple other programs. I don't know why it says the CS2 serial number I have is for an Upgrade Version.
When I called customer support, they said they no longer offer support on CS2, and I'd have to upgrade. But, I don't necessarily want to upgrade. I'm just fine using my outdated software for my little tinkering around with photos. I don't want to spend $199 on the CS5 upgrade.
All I want is to install the program that I paid for. I don't want to pay for another program or update or anything.
Does anyone know why this is happening, or have an suggestions for how to fix it. I just want my Photoshop back!
Thanks!!

It would be helpful to provide information on the Mac model involved. Exactly which model Mac do you have? Also what OS X installer version you have. Keep in mind that the optical drive you have installed may not be a bootable drive.

Can you Install Adobe Photoshop CS5 on Win 8 with no disc.

I recently acquired a HP ENVY Touchsmart 15 Notebook PC, which comes with Windows 8. I am currently attempting to transfer my programs from my old computer (which was Windows 7) to my new computer, which includes re-installing Adobe Photoshop CS5.
However, as this computer that I currently have doesn't have a CD drive (I was not aware of this as it was a gift), I am unable to put in the CS5 installation CD. I still have all of my licensing information, though. So, that leaves me with the following questions: Is it possible to install CS5 without a disc? And if so, does Windows 8 even support CS5?

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.
CS5: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
To see if there are any special provisions you should follow for installing on a Windows 8 machine you should search this forum using terms like "Windows 8 CS5" to see if anyone has encountered issues that needed attention
