Can you use your purchased Photoshop Elements Software on two computers?

What do you need to do to utilize your purchased Software on multiple computers.  I own Photoshop and Premier Elements 13 and want to be able to utilize it on both my desktop and laptop computers.

You can install and activate (purchased) perpetual software two  computers of the same type (mac or pc), as long as you only use  it on one at at a time.

If you will not ever be using the software on the first computer anymore, deactivate the license on that computer- how to deactivate software.  This allows it to be installed on another computer at any time.

To load the software on another computer , download and install it as you did on the first computer. Then enter your serial number to activate it.

Here are the links you can download from if you do not have disks:

Premiere Elements:  13 | 12 | 11, 10 | 9, 8, 7 win | 8 mac | 7 mac

Photoshop Elements:  13 |12 | 11, 10 | 9,8,7 win | 8 mac | 7 mac

yes, you are allowed two concurrent sign-ins at any one time (though you're only supposed to use one cc computer at any one time).

you can actually install on more than two computers though and by signing out of the others, use any number of computers with cc.
