Photoshop Elements 11 and migration

I just got a new iMac (desktop), and plan to migrate the Adobe Photoshop ELements 11, that I bought earlier this year and installed on my old imac, to this new one.

The old one was running OS 10.5.8-- Mountain Lion, and the new one is running OS Mavericks.

Will I be able to migrate the Photoshop Elements 11 program and immediately begin using it on my new imac-- or will I have to get a "key", and if so, what is that and how do I get it?

thank you, diane

    You need/want to install the program on the new machine - you do not want to migrate it (whatever that is - it sounds like you plan to copy it over - won't work).

    If you installed the program on the older machine you needed a serial number (key) to do that.  You will need the same serial number to do the same on the new machine.  If you registered the software when you put it on the old machine, the serial number might be available via your Adobe account online.  If you purchased a disc to install it then the serial number should be on the cd case.
