Installing photoshop on a 2nd computer

I purchases a copy of Photoshop Elements 10 about a year and a half ago.  This was installed on my Dell PC.  Now I would like to install it on an Imac 21.5.  Can I do this without purchasing additional software?

If you bought the boxed version, yes, because those serial numbers are cross platform. If you bought the download usually not, although it's worth downloading the trial from here and trying it to see if it will accept your serial number:

  • Installing Photoshop CC on 2nd computer as trial version?

    Hello,
    I've installed CC on my macbook pro (currently have it installed on my iMac) and when I install Photoshop and open it,
    it asks me to sign in for a trial version? and says i can continue to use photoshop after trial period by purchasing
    the software.
    ideas anyone?
    really can't understand as I'm 4 months into my 12 month subscription.
    Cheers

  • Trouble installing photoshop elements on 2nd computer - says already on 2 computers

    I had elements on 2 laptops but I had to send one of my computers back to HP to have keyboard replaced.  While we were trying to pinpoint the problem we decided to set computer to factory settings, so all my programs were taken off - so I thought. 
    I could not be without my main computer for 2 weeks so I purchased a new one and installed elements on it - it was working fine for about 1 month and then it said that this program was already installed on 2 computers.  I tried to uninstall it and then reinstall, but it wouldn't let me.  Does the program think it is still on the computer I had to have repaired?

    If you did not deactivate it before resetting to factory settings, yes it does.
    You will need to contact Adobe Support to have them fix it for you.

  • Unable to install CS4 on a 2nd computer.

    Seeking help installing CS4 on a 2nd computer.  I have CS4 on my desktop iMac (using OSX 10.7.5) and since I recently bought a MacBook Pro (using 10.8.3), I wanted to install it on there as well.  The only problem is that the MacBook Pro does not have a CD player.  To get around that, I put the CD contents on a USB Key.  I attempted to load CS4 on the MacBook Pro using the USB Key, but right off the bat it gave me an error when I double-clicked the SETUP folder:  "SETUP ERROR - Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue.  Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."  I tried this several times but got the same message.  I called Adobe however they were unable to help since it is an old version - they suggested I post the question here and see if someone can help.  The Adobe Rep did say that perhaps the Setup file was corrupted, but did not offer any further information beyond that. 

    Noel: 
      Thank you so incredibly much - I sincerely appreciate your help!
      I did just what you recommended and it worked perfectly!
      For anyone else reading this with the same problem, here is how I did it:
      I copied the entire Photoshop CS4 to a USB Key
      plugged that in to my MacBook Pro
      made a New Folder on the Desktop of the MacBook
      copied all the items from the USB Key to the New Folder
      dropped the New Folder into the Macintosh HD on the MacBook
      then went to the Photoshop CS4 folder on the Macintosh HD
      double-clicked on the SETUP folder, and voila - it worked!
      Once I entered the serial number, the program downloaded and the only hitches were that it did not have the latest Adobe AIR version, so I had to go   to the Adobe site and download a new version of that at www.adobe.com/go/getair
    I am so thankful - Adobe would not work with me since I had the older version of CS4, so I was faced with buying a new version of Photoshop, not being able to use it on my laptop, and possibly buying Aperture instead - none of which I really wanted to do.  So thanks again - you know your stuff and your help is greatly appreciated!  Sincerely,  Jimmy.

  • I need to install Photoshop to a school computer

    I need to install photoshop to a school computer. I have found it is imposible to install CC from online becuase the computer blocks installs from online. So what I did was bring a portable version of photoshop from home to school. I doint have to install the version, so it worked better. But i was never able to get it to work fully. When I launched the app it told me that the comoputer didnt allow registry editing, and it wouldnt work giving me error 16. So my question is if there are any loopholes I cloud go thorught to get it to work on a computer I cant edit the registry or anything important, maybe make it work only from the flash drive or hard drive.

    You probably need to work this out with the system administrator at your school.  There are reason for having these types of restrictions in place and it usually means approval/adjustment is needed to make an allowance for installing one's own software.

    If retail CS6 Serial Number then you can do licensed install on two systems same platform(Win or Mac). This depends for which platform you bought the SN for.
    Hope this answers your query.

  • Trying to install acrobat x on 2nd computer at home

    How do i install acrobat x on 2nd computer at home. i find it on my adobe but there is no download.

    Do you still have the downloaded installer on your original computer?  If so, transfer it from there.
    If not, try downloading the installer from http://technolux.blogspot.jp/2011/02/adobe-direct-download-links-less-akamai.html
    You must follow the download instructions some two pages down from the top; otherwise you won't be able to get your download.  The download links start some further two pages down.

  • How can I install Photoshop on a second computer?

    I have photoshop on a computer that is about to die and I downloaded it online so I don't have the original disks to put photoshop on my new computer how can I download it again or do I have to pay for another copy?

    For future reference you are allowed to install and activate Photoshop on two computers for your own use. In this case you would want to deactivate off the old computer before it dies.

  • Re installed photoshop CS5 onto new computer & now plug ins won't work?

    I recently bought a new computer & re-installed photoshop CS5.1 successfully, but can't get the plug ins to work (phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3, which were a free download with purchase). I am running windows 7 64bit. I copied & pasted them into the plug ins folder (in both applications of photoshop - there is the 32 bit version on 'program files (x86)' & the 64 bit version in 'program files'), but neither will work.

    You probably won't get those plugins to work by just copying them.
    I'd remove the plugins that you copied and pasted and use the phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3 plugin installers, as they probably install some other files besides just the plugin itself.

  • Installing Photoshop Elements in a computer lab?

    Hey there!
    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements 12 in a computer lab. We have 33 computers that we would like to have Photoshop Elements 12 installed on. We have licenses for them but the concern is the whole Adobe ID setup. This is a high school computer lab and a big cause for concern is giving students access to our licenses and them also having the ability to sign themselves out of Photoshop. Right now we are looking at making Adobe IDs for all 33 computers, is this the best way to go about this? And is there any way to disable their ability to sign out? If anyone feels like helping me out, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    I don't think there is any way to do this, since PSE is not part of Creative Cloud and the usual CC for Teams management and deployment tools will not work. Creating unique Adobe IDs seems the only way...

  • Installing Photoshop cs6 on second computer

    How do I install Photoshop cs6 on a second computer (mac) when I don't have the cd anymore?  I originally bought the student version off of Amazon and I registered it with Adobe. I looked up my serial code on my adobe profile, but I don't know the product number. 

    Something is blocking your access to the Internet (or specifically Photoshop).
    This can happen when something like a spyware / Trojan / adware checker is over cautious. In my case it turned out that Spybot search and destroy was being over cautious.
    If this is what has happened to you you can try temporarily disabling your hosts file in the following way. This is assuming Windows 7 (you haven't said which version of Windows you are running).
    Navigate to the following folder:-
    %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\
    In my case this would be
    C:\system32\drivers\etc\
    Rename the file "hosts" to something else (in my case I called it "hosts - copy" but you can call it anything).
    Try your activation again.
    Then go back and change the hosts file back to its original name.
    This might solve your problem.
    Good luck
