Moving Photoshiop 2019 from one computer to another

I have Photoshop 2019 on my laptop. I realize there is no way to download a version from Adobe to my main computer. So, I'm wondering how I can move Photoshop 2019 from my laptop to my main computer. My main computer is silicon-based. And I know I will have to download Rosetta 2 to use it. 

 

How can I move it and know which additional files (if any) I should move along with it? I do have a Creative Cloud account if that matters. 

 

Thanks, Jeff

Photoshop or Photoshop Elements?

Jeff, congratulations on your new computer. Please see https://adobe.ly/43jGOnz for information on how to successfully use your Creative Cloud subscription on your new computer. ^JW

Thanks, Jeffrey. I know how to use my Creative Cloud subscription. The problem is that there is no longer a 2019 installer. But I want to use the 3D feature 2019 has. I've asked before if there is an application that does the same thing as the Photoshop 3D feature (which is easy for me to use). But I didn't get any good answers. Often I need to rotate a 2D image just a bit. Nothing drastic. And I've always found Photoshop's now discontinued 3D feature easy to use without worrying about skins and texture mapping.

No, you can't move applications from an Intel Mac to an Apple Silicon Mac and have them work right, even if you used Migration Assistant. You need to download the Adobe CC app and install fresh.

There is no Photoshop 2019 installer.
