I have two computers on which I have different Photoshop/Creative Cloud Programs.  On my MacBook Air I have Photoshop CC, and I think a couple of other programs which I have tried to upload without knowing what has happened with the uploads.  My id for this computer and Photoshop/CC program (DELETED) and my password is (DELETED)   while i this attempt at communication Adobe ID has generated  a FORUM Name:  fredh93129477       My first question is what products do I really have on this computer?  My second question is because of limited space I would like to add an additional computer to work with Photoshop/CC and that is my home desktop an IMAC. How may I do this and how do I know if both programs are registered, completely updated, and synchronizable with only the IMAC having the storage items on it.

In addition My IMAC also has an old copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, which I believe was registered - but it now may have lapsed - and may this be interferring with trying to adding the second copy of my copy of Photoshop/CC to this second computer?

I would appreciate any advice you might be able to offer.

Thank you for your time.

I Branched you question to a new thread.

As to your first question.

Only you would know that. Open the program and go to the Help menu and select System Info. that will tell you the exact version number of the Adobe program.

You are allowed to have every Adobe software program that you either have a valid license for, a Serial Number for, or that you have a valid subscription for activated on 2 computers at the same time as long as both computer aren't using the software at the same time.

To put the programs on your second computer you download and install the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App. Then from that app you install LR and PS.

When you install the CC DTA and Sign In with the Adobe ID that you used to purchase the subscription plan and then install the programs If they don't pop up with a Trial Mode warning then they are registered.

All registration is done by the Adobe ID, Email Address and password.

You can leave LR 5 installed or you can remove it. I have both LR 5 and LR Classic CC V7.1 installed on my computers.

And on my Notebook I still have Photoshop CS5 installed along with LR 5, LR C CC V7.1 and the newest version of PS.
