Do I need to reinstall Lightroom on Mac if I change apple/iCloud ID?

I bought Lightroom with my Mac in 2015, installed it onto my Mac which was signed into my grandma's iCloud/Apple ID. Recently, I had to make my own ID & I want to sign into it on my Mac. Will I need to reinstall Lightroom when I do that? Will I be able to? I dont know if there's a limit on how many times it can be installed from one disc (I purchased it on disc, not through creative cloud), or if it would even matter since it is the same device. Help?

    If you registered your serial number using HER Adobe account, I don't think you will be able to install using that same serial number using YOUR Adobe account

    As far as I know, an Apple account has nothing to do with Adobe software... only the Adobe ID she/you created to install and activate the Adobe program

    So as long as I registered the product with my adobe account, the apple account shouldn't matter? I'm 90% sure I registered my serial number with my adobe account; I highly doubt my grandma even had one.
