Can you transfer Photoshop Elements 2020 to another computer without unstalling the program?

    Commercial software generally needs to be installed on a device (computer) to be useful and PSE is no exception.  Installing is different than transfering, where, for example, you might transfer a photo to your computer from your phone.  It isn't possible to transfer PSE to another computer but you may install it on another computer no problem (total of 2).  Uninstalling it from the original computer isn't necessary.  Note: If you don't plan to use PSE on the original computer again, go to PSE's "Help" menu on that computer and select "Sign Out".

    PSE can be be installed on two computers at the same time as long as they're not being used at the same time.  Does that answer your question?

    I should re-word that.  PSE can be be installed on two computers at the same time as long as the twin copies of PSE are not  running at the same time.
