Photoshop software on disk and no disk drive

I've just received my adobe photoshop CS6 on disk and I'm waiting for my new MacBook Pro with retina display to arrive... Just realised it doesn't have a disk drive. Can I just transfer p'shop files to external hardrive and install it from there?

Use or borrow a Superdrive, You could make a DMG (disk image) on an external HD, however I cant recall if the strong copy protection disk will allow same.

Installing software without disk drive

Hi everyone, I've just bought a new laptop and I'm trying to install creative suite 5.5 design premium and acrobat 9 pro extended but I only have them on disk. Can I download them from somewhere and put in my license information?

Download the CS5.5 trial from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
Download the Acrobat 9 Pro (Windows only) trial from http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
Ensure that you follow the Very Important Instructions on those pages before you click the download links otherwise the links will not work.
Launch the Trials then enter your serial number to license them..

Re-installation with existing product code/disk but no disk drive.

I have a new laptop and need to re-register my Photoshop C6 student and teachers edition, can I do this with my existing product code?
Also if it is possible, how do I then re-install Photoshop with no disk drive? (I originally just popped the disk in and entered my product code.)
(Additional information: Both my laptop and Photoshop are for Windows.)

Hello,
if you are able to do that, you should deactivate (Help -> Deactivate) the Adobe software before you lose the machine to it being reset. You will still use the same serial number to activate the soiftware when you get the application(s) reinstalled.
If you need any help with activation you can contact Adobe Support directly by chat or phone.

How to install and activate photoshop and lightroom on new pc- no cd disk drive

My old PC no longer works so I've purchased a new one. How do I deactivate Photoshop cs6 extended and Lightroom 3 and download and activate them on my new PC- that has no cd disk drive?

Since you are allowed to have two activated installations, it is not necessary to deactivate the old installation, but if the machine is unuseable then you probably should. COntact Adobe Support by chat or phone to have them deactivate before you install on the new machine if you are not able to.

Installing photoshop elements and premiere elements on a MacBook Air without disk drive.

I recently purchased a computer bundle form my school and I receive the Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Adobe Premiere Elements 12 with the bundle. It came with two DVD-ROMs and activation codes, however my MacBook Air does not have a disk drive. Is there another way to download the program with only the activation codes instead of using the DVDs.

Yes, download and install the trial version.
Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe

My hard disk crashed and I cannot find out how to "contact customer service" other than this forum. The website seems to just take me in a circle. I need to de-activate a license but cannot access the software due to a crashed hard drive. Please help.

When I connect my iPad to my HP laptop and download software updates it disables my disk drive. Apple support do not have a solution for this.

When I connect my iPad to my laptop and update software it disables my disk drive. Apple does not have a solution and Microsoft Fix It will not fix the problem. I have taken my computer to a repair shop on two occasions now to have it fixed. They told me that it is some foreign device that has CD burning software and the only thing I have is my iPad.

How do i install photoshop elements 11 without a disk drive

I own photoshop elements 11 and have the disk but my new laptop doesn't have a disk drive. I found the software here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html. I downloaded the content but it wont install. The application says I need to download the rest of the content to install. The thing is I have downloaded the rest of the content. I am not sure what to do. The first large file comes in a 7z file format. I have extracted the files to see if thats what I needed to do and it still didn't work. I do need some help with this. The operating system is windows 8.1, 6 GB of ram, AMD quad core processor.

You don't need to touch the .7z file at all.
Download the .7z and the .exe file to the same folder on your hard drive
Double click the .exe file and follow the prompts

Just bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 without a hard disk drive, need software

I just bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 Type 0769-BLG assembly date 07/09 from e-bay, it looks brand new but it had a fault, it was dead, perhaps a faulty motherboard and the hard disk drive had been removed. Assuming I can get the fault fixed, where can I get the Lenovo software that came with the original hard disk drive, I would prefer a free source, if that is possible, perhaps some kind person has put all of the CD's on to a DVD that I can borrow or buy a copy of. I was an IBM employee for 30 years before retiring 15 years ago. Dan McLean in Scotland, UK.
