I don't have the cloud version and only have my CD from Elements 12.  I bought a new computer and want to install it on this new computer.  My new computer doesn't have a CD drive, it only has USB ports.  I didn't realize it until I went to install.  Is there anyway to install Elements onto this computer using a serial number or something?

Thank you!!

    You could also copy the CD to a thumb drive on another computer, then install via USB on your new machine.

    If you have a Mac, you can install from the CD drive of another computer connected to the same network...
