How do I install Elements 13 from the diskdrive on another computer?

I bought a hardcopy of Elements 13. I want to install it on a Windows 7-desktop pc.

However, this pc does not contain a diskdrive, therefore I want to install it from the diskdrive on my laptop.

Both computers are in my home-network. I do have administrator rights. @11773769 the desktop I can see the contents on the disk. I can even start to run and it is possible in the startscreen to choose installing Elements 13.

Then, the resulting message is: "the specified file cannot be found"......

How do I install the software?

Your best bet is to download it and install it that way.  You can download the trial and use your serial number to activate it to full use (there is no difference between the trial and the full version other than the missing activation).

An alternative would be to copy the installation to a USB stick and plug that into your desktop

Thanks a lot !

The first method, using the Akaima-downloadmanager did not work.

However the alternative download-method went smoothly.

Although I should wait at least 30 days for a definite conclusion..
