Can I install my old Photoshop Elements 15 on my 2015 iMac?

Question

Hello,

I recetly switched computers to a 2015 imac with no CD drive and was hoping to download elements 15 directly from the Adobe site with the serial number. It donwloads up the exe file but when I try to launch it tells me unable. Any suggestions or fixes or am I stuck upgrading?

thanks

What operating system were you using PSE 15 on before?

What version of macOS is your iMac running?

(Apple>About This Mac)

On the Mac side the download for installing PSE 15 should be a .dmg file.

The .exe file is for Windows systems.

Is your PSE 15 license Multi Platform like shown in the screenshot below so there is a .dmg file listed?
