I recieved a version of photoshop along with the purchase of a drawing tablet last year, a week ago the laptop that had the program began having errors so i bought a new laptop. now i just need to switch my program from the old computer to this one. is there any way to do that? i dont recall ever having a disk for the program, and i would really hate to lose the program and have to rebuy it after only having it one year.

Any help will be greatly apprciated

open ps on your old laptop and click help>deactivate.

then download a trial of your photoshop and install it on your new computer.  you can directly download trials via links here:

if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial via links here:  http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl

and activate with your serial.

if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

Which version of Photoshop?

Photoshop for Windows or Photoshop for Mac?

Which operating system on the laptop?
