Installing Photoshop on new computers

I have Photoshop CS3 installed on my current iMac. I am getting a new iMac this week and I plan on getting a new laptop soon. I want to install CS3 on both new computers. My understanding is that I can only have the program on two computers. If the above is accurate, I would appreciate help on accomplishing the desired installation on the new computers. I will not continue using my current iMac.
Thanks,
Al Prichard

Hi Al,
I've moved your discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum. The folks who visit this forum regularly should be able to help you out.
Best,

Can i install photoshop on 2 computers

can i install photoshop on 2 computers?

No problem. You can.
For example one for a home computer, another for a travel laptop, or at work.
What you cannot do is have someone else use it on your laptop, while you use it on you home computer.

Installed photoshop on 4 computers years ago...they all got replaced before we deactivated it...now I am trying to reinstall on a new computer and it says it can't be registered to another computer...HELP!

I need to get it installed on a new computer but it says I can't register it without deactivating it from another computer first. Only problem is all of the computers it was registered on are dead now.

Every time I go to that page it tells me to try troubleshooting, when I select what I need help with it loops me right back to the support page again and tells me to try troubleshooting. So frustrating. Adobe should seriously have a phone number people can call. This is ridiculous. I want to talk to someone not search online endlessly for hours. Ugh.

Need help installing photoshop onto new computer.....

Need some help installing photoshop onto my new computer. Way back when I was in college I purchased photoshop. It has worked fine for everything that I do, plus I know all the tricks to this particular version. It has only been installed on 2 computers before...both my own computers. Now we have a new computer because the last one broke & I haven't been able to download the program. I have the cd etc but wondering why I can't download it. Could it be because it is so old....?? It's Photoshop 4.0 I have several docs that I need to open but can't because they're in photoshop....ugh... Please someone help. Thanks!!

Install Photoshop CS2, new compute, Windows 8.1?

Install Photoshop CS2, which I bought several years ago, on a new computer with Windows 8.1? Adobe uploaded me a version that doesn't require activation, but it doesn't work!

Thanks, Ned. Adobe sent me a link to download a version of CS2 that they say doesn't need activation. I clicked on the link and used their new code to load and authenticate. The App is sitting there, but when I click on it, the box says something is wrong with my username, password or activation and the app will now close. I don't know how to try to download with compatibiity mode. Any clues?

Trouble installing photoshop on new mac tower

I am trying to install photoshop CS2 onto a new Mac Tower (3.33 GHz, 6 core, intel xeon) running OSX Lion from the original install disc so that I can install my upgrade to CS4 before purchasing the upgrade to CS6. I keep getting a message saying power computer no longer supported. Does this mean that I can no longer upgrade from my original versions of photoshop? Is there a way that I can install my original disc with this operating system? Do I have to go back to an earlier version of OSX to achieve this?
Thank you in advance to anyone with some answers.

You will no longer be able to install CS2 on your computer. You are welcome to install CS4 and then enter the CS2 serial number when prompted to enter a qualifying serial number. You can do the same thing with CS6 only this time you would use your CS4 serial number.

Installing Photoshop on New IMac

Hi Every one
I am totaly new to all this and I need help
I have a mac pro Laptop and I don’t have an internet at home. I am purchasing a new 27 inch IMac and want to install Photoshop CS6 on the IMac. And since I don’t have internet at home, is there a possibility that I can download Photoshop on my Mac Pro first and then copy it on a flash Drive or Burn it on a CD then install it on My New I Mac? Would that work?
Thank you all.

Help re-installing Photoshop onto new HD

My macbook pro died and I had to have a new hard drive put in. All my software has been wiped and I am having trouble re-installing Photoshop CS3.
It ran perfectly on my mac before it crashed, now it will not let me fully install, successfully installing the shared components but coming up with the following message:
Errors: 2 component(s):
Adobe Photoshop CS3
Component install failed
Shared components
Component install failed
It is a valid fully purchased copy of photoshop CS3 and has never been installed onto another computer.
Please help as I am a photographer and this is essential to my work! Thank you so much,
Lucinda.

For that you should check with Adobe. It's their software.

Installing photoshop on new computer

I have purchased a new computer with Windows 8 and wish to install my copy of my Photoshop Extended CS6 onto it. Can I do this or do I have to get permission from your company to perform this operation. My customer identification number from a previous request was 311470770 if this is any help.
Look forward to receiving your advice in due course.
Thanking You.

Hi Judith,
A retail purchase of PSE CS6 can be installed on 2 machines at any instance as per Adobe's End User License Agreement.
So you can go ahead and install it on your new computer.

Is it possible to install photoshop on two computers in different countries in European Union?

Hi! I would like to know if it is possible to install the photoshop app on two desktop computers in different countries in European Union, since I spend my time travelling between 2 countries?? As I understand it, it is possible to download the app on two devices, but I couldn't see any information on wether these two devices must be in the same country. Thanks!!

Jim's IMAP suggestion is exactly what I would suggest. POP was fine when people generally had one computer to download their mail to; now that people have multiple computers, phones, and other email-capable devices, IMAP is really the way to go. Many mail providers - not just Gmail and MobileMe - offer IMAP as an alternative connection method to an email account, so you should see whether your current provider supports it.
Your solution of networking a .pst file, while it may have worked for you, sounds like a pretty risky kludge. I wouldn't like to try to recover the file if you get any kind of network error while you're writing to it, for example. Outlook for Mac 2011 will not use a single file (thank goodness!) but a folder/file structure, which allows easier integration with Spotlight and Time Machine, and less risk that a database error will render all your email unreadable (as could happen with Entourage).
There are a couple of good ways to transfer Outlook data to a Mac. One is to use Outlook2Mac, which runs on your PC and converts the data to standard mailboxes which Apple Mail can read. The other way is, in fact, to get an IMAP account (eg GMail) set up on both PC and Mac, transfer your local mailboxes to the IMAP server, and wait for them to sync across to the Mac. I've used both methods with success. If you have a lot of nested mailboxes, I'd recommend IMAP over O2M - the latter will rename all mailboxes and can be awkward to reassemble them on the other side. If you only have a few simple mail folders (no matter how much mail you have in them), it's fine.
With the IMAP method, I've noticed that GMail, for one, doesn't like certain mailbox names (names beginning with a number don't seem to work well, for example).

Want to install Photoshop onto new laptop (second machine)...

The new laptop doesn't have a disc drive. I'm a student, and my copy of PS CS6 is on an actual disc. Is there still a way to get to a download of it, since I'm not on the cloud?

Re-installing Photoshop gets error 213:5

My HD crashed last week. Replaced it yesterday. Re-downloaded Photoshop CS5 twice last night and twice this morning (2x each for 2 different links) and each time I get error message 213:5 -- I'm in HOUR SIX of trying to get back the software I paid for and have used almost every day for the past 3 years. I want to get back to work. How?

You can get to a place to chat if you go through the hoops on the Contact Us / Customer Care page and click the Still Need Help.
This link may shortcut some of the hoops:

Or just start at the first part of the URL, above, and do the hoops, again:
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
In the summary of what the chat is for, I'd put something like "Error 213:5 installing Photoshop on new computer", and leave out that it's CS5 unless they ask, so they can't immediately tell you know because that version is no longer supported. In their mind you paid for it years ago and that revenue has long since been spent, so someone taking time to help you on an obsolete product is being nice since they have so many people using the newer products. Hopefully you'll get someone nice that'll help you.
I think Twitter is more about monitoring announcements of system outranges or scheduled maintenance, or for widespread problem just after a major release.

Can I install photoshop on to more that one computer with no extra charge?

I have a home computer and a work computer and I need to use PS on both machines, I already have an account, will it charge me extra if i download it on to my second PC?

One license does entitle to install Photoshop on two computers.
Previously it was emphasised that this was for con-simultaneous use, but I think that restriction is not in effect anymore.
