To install Photoshop Elements on a second computer, you'll first need to deactivate the software on the original computer. Here's how:
Deactivating Photoshop Elements on the First Computer
- Ensure an internet connection: You must be online during the deactivation process.
- Open Photoshop Elements: Launch the application on the computer where it's currently installed.
- Sign Out: Go to the
Help
menu and selectSign Out
. This will deactivate the license on that computer.
Installing on the Second Computer
Once you've deactivated the software on the first computer, you can proceed with installation on the second computer.
- Download the Installation File: If you don't have the installation file, download it from the Adobe website. (This is a general link to Adobe; you'll need to navigate to the Photoshop Elements download page.) You'll need your Adobe account credentials.
- Run the Installer: Locate the downloaded file and double-click it to start the installation process.
- Follow the On-Screen Instructions: The installer will guide you through the installation steps.
- Sign In: When prompted, sign in with your Adobe account (the same one used previously). This activates the software on the new computer.
Important Considerations:
- License Agreement: Make sure that installing on a second computer is permitted under your license agreement. Typically, Adobe allows installation on two computers for single-user licenses, but it's always a good idea to verify.
- Activation Issues: If you encounter any issues during activation, refer to the Adobe support website for troubleshooting tips or contact their customer support.
