Lightroom 4 & CS5.5

Hello

I found a copy of Lightroom 4 (and a copy of Adobe CS5.5), it has been installed before on a different computer from the one I want to install it on now. Will this work? And if I get a new computer soon, can I install Lightroom 4 (and adobe CS5.5) on both computers, or will I have to delete it from one of the computers?

Thanks for your answers,

Jonas

if the computers have the same os (win or mac), no problem as long as you deactivate (help>deactivate) on the old computer(s).

you can only use a max of two activations at any one time.

    Ok, so if I deactivate the program(s) on my old computer, I can install them on my new computer and my laptop (both MacOS). Thanks!

    Do be aware that your old programs may not install easily on a new Mac

    CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated for Mac El Capitan or later operating systems

    -which means that you try to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems due to Apple updates

    -Apple did not maintain backward compatibility with old programs in El Capitan or Sierra

    --Adobe has a workaround to Apple's problem of not maintaining backward compatibility

    --READ HERE https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2301916 for an Adobe solution to installing old programs, including a link to installing the old Java runtime that is required
