Downloading a 11.0.2 perpetual license from an old Windows 10 computer to a new Windows 11 computer

I've been running perpetual PS 11.0.2 for years. latest on a Windows 10 computer which doesn't meet requirements for Windows 11. I've bought a new Windows 11 computer and would like to know if  my PS can be reinstalled on the new one? I'd like to keep it because my usage doesn't warrant a subscription.

Any help would be appreciated.

Full Photoshop is now only available by subscription https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html

 

Photoshop Elements is now a time limited, 3 year subscription http://www.adobe.com/products/elements-family.html

My version is CS4 which is no longer supported. Does  Adobe have an Indie subscription or perpetual version? Thanks

BarDip, thanks for posting your question. Please see https://adobe.ly/3VIiQxR , which discusses how to download most registered non-subscription software titles from your account on https://adobe.ly/41LVxqC.

 

I would also recommend bookmarking https://adobe.ly/4m8ALJ3 for information on how to activate Creative Suite 6 and other Adobe software titles in 2025. ^JW

You need to ask program questions in the forum for the program you are using
To ask in the forum for your program please start at https://community.adobe.com/
Moving from Using the Community (which is about the forums) to the Install forum

 

1 - DE-activate on the old computer

2 - install and activate on new computer

 

NOTE - I don't know the age of Photoshop 11 but it MAY not be possible to activate

The CS2-CS3-CS4 activation servers have been removed from service
