Hi, I have Photoshop elements 12 and Premiere elements 12 installed. Due to disk space I want to temporarily uninstall Premiere elements. Can I later reinstall the same program on the same computer without any issues? I'm thinking of license issues etc. Thanks

Try making a system or disk image to an external drive with something like this free utility (the free version):

and then restore it after you install a larger drive.

There should be no problem reinstalling it several times on the same computer.

Thanks Steve, when I first tried the process of removing the program I got this message from the Installation shield. Obviously the program is not available after the removal. But I was thinking the license could possibly be affected later on. I just want to be completely sure.

It will not be available for use for sure! You may not be able to reinstall it either. You must have the installation file. Even if you have a disc, most versions of Premiere Elements need an update after installation. They also need extra content (like music files) after installation. Version 12 is old enough that you can't get an installation file from Adobe. Nor is it likely that the Adobe servers have the extra files either.

If it were me, I would find other ways to create disc space or prepare to buy new video editing software.
