What do I do now that I have a new computer?

May 28, 2012 2:29 AM

I had photoshop and premiere elements installed on my computer, but I have now gotten a new one. I brought the softwares from JB Hi-Fi on a disc, and they were only for one computer. So the question is, is there a way for me to get it off my old computer and on my new one without having to but it all over again? I cant exactly afford to buy it again.

    Hi,

     

    Take Backups of your Catalogs from old computer and deactivate licenses on old machine. After deactivating you will be able to reuse the serial-number on new computer.

     

    If your files are on an external hard drive, you may want to follow- http://bit.ly/nzcmK7

     

    How to deactivate - There is an option under Help Menu

    FWIW, any version of PSE lets you install it on two computers. But you will need your install discs again. If you have it on the media for your old computer, as long as you know the serial number you can download the trial and enter your serial number to turn it to a regular version.
