No. Purchasing an upgrade to your product extends your existing license to cover the new version of Adobe software. It does not provide you with two separate licenses for the old version and the new version.

If you purchase a new license, rather than upgrade your old software, you are permitted to transfer your old license—that is, as long as you did not purchase the original license with a volume licensing arrangement.

I would say no.

Your serial key for Photoshop Elements is valid for 2 systems. But only for installtion of the same version, in your case 2022. If you use a license to update to a newer version the key becomes invalid.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

Once I've upgraded, can I use, sell, or transfer the previous versions of the software?
