Can I install old version of PhotoShop Elements from original discs?

I bought this program together with InDesign in 2011 before you had to rent them. I put it on the MacBook I bought in 2007. In 2013, it failed and the screen went black. I can't retrieve the installation. I used the discs I bought to install both apps on my new MacBook Pro (2013). I just bought a refurbished Mac to match the 2013 version. My files transferred but those apps won't open. I understand I am allowed to have them on two Macs and must delete them on one if I want to use it again. I can't really access the original laptop because I can't see anything. Do you think they would accept the whole thing if I mailed it to them as proof that I'm not using it anymore?
