If I upgrade online to 2018 please advise what happens if I change my PC / laptop at any time?

Is it better to buy a CD?

    Whether you use a CD or a download, you register your software on your Adobe account. That way you can re-download and install your software on a different computer (your license key is saved in your account).

    Before changing computers:

    1 - use the menu Help >> sign out to free the license for the other computer (also called "deactivating")

    2 - to transfer both your photo files and catalogs, use the backup and restore process.
