Hi, I will be shortly changing my IMac for a more up to date model.

       Will, when I change over cause Adobe to reject me from useing PS & LR because it will see a different  computer, Im sure this happened before when I changed from a Mac Book.

 

Thanks

Brian

    If you're using current software from 2020 or 2021, your new computer should not pose any problems.  However, older software isn't compatible with Apple's latest operating systems: Catalina & Big Sur.

     

    1. Use a Mac user profile with full administrative permissions to install software.

    2. Log-in to Creative Cloud. 

    3. Download and Install Creative Cloud Desktop app followed by Photoshop, Lightroom, etc...

    4. Restart your computer.

     

    Post back if you have more questions.

    Do you have a current Creative Cloud subscription, paid each month?
