Question

Photoshop Elements 15 or 2018 on PC and MAC on one license?

Hi - I see that you are able to install photoshop elements 2018 on two computers (but only use on 1 at a time).  Presumably this is the same with PSE 15 - but here is my main question... can those two computers be 1xPC and 1xMAC?

thanks

As far as I know, a download version is for ONE platform, Mac or PC

But the disc version includes both platforms in the box

Go to Amazon and check to see the description for the boxed version, since my understanding is not current and what comes in the box may have changed since the last time I checked

Thanks John - taken a look on UK amazon but its not clear.  15 appears to say that the platform for the disk amzon sells is for windows 10 but no mention of MAC or Windows generally other then being able to buy (separately) activation codes for a PC or a MAC. (perhaps that it the answer right there?!).

Also, not sure why but my original question was approved by a moderator and posted here but then I got another email saying it had been rejected by a moderator?? so now not even sure anyone else can see this question?!

cheers

Hi Phil

Yes it is best to get the boxed version which comes with DVDs for both Windows & Mac with a single serial number. Downloads are usually single platform only.

In the meantime download the free trial. No further installation is then necessary. Simply use the serial number from the disk when amazon or other re-sellers have stock.

You may find this of interest.  I have posted a summary of the new features in Elements 2018 on my blog which can be accessed at this link including trial:
