I have changed my old PC (Windows 7 Pro) on which I had installed Phtoshop Elements 9 and Lightroom 10.

My new PC does not have a CD drive.

How can I legally transfer the PhotoShop Elements 9 and Lightroom 10 licenses from the old PC to the new one ?

Thanks for your tips.

    Copy the install files to a USB and plug to your new PC.  Install the software with your license key.  If it seems like you have installed multiple times, go back to your old computer and open Photoshop Elements and/or Lightroom.  Go to the "Help Menu"  and choose "Deactivate license" so you can continue to activate on your new pc.

    Your license allows you to have two machines with active installations.  If the old machine is the only installation you have then you can install on the new machine and use your serial numbers to activate without dealing with the old machine.

    If you need to download you should be able to do so thru the links below... (note: the newest version of Lightroom is version 5, so you will need to check that to see what you have)
