Photoshop CS5 on dead computer, now on new desktop can I put on laptop too?

[TansySue]

I bought Photoshop CS5 last year just a few months before my computer 'died fatally' on me. The local computer store couldn't fix it so I bought a new desktop PC from them. As part of the deal they installed all my programmes from my discs and I have been using it sucessfully since.

I now have anew  laptop which I will want to use on a photography holiday. Can I load CS5 onto that too? I understand there are 2 licences but one may still be allocated to the 'dead' PC. How do I find out if that is the case and get it transferred to my new laptop?

Just try to install CS5 on the new laptop.

If you get a message about activations exceeded then contact Adobe, explain the situation and get the activation count reset.

Thanks, it is an obvious move but I don't want to Adobe to freeze me out of my desktop programme as I use it so much. 

I have not yet found a way to contact Adobe should that need arise - the links on my Photoshop support programme don't take me anywhere

Thanks John

It worked fine on first try to the new laptop.

The store obviously did the right thing for me!
