Downloading a 11.0.2 perpetual license from an old Windows 10 computer to a new Windows 11 computer

New Here ,
Sep 11, 2025 Sep 11, 2025

I've been running perpetual PS 11.0.2 for years. latest on a Windows 10 computer which doesn't meet requirements for Windows 11. I've bought a new Windows 11 computer and would like to know if  my PS can be reinstalled on the new one? I'd like to keep it because my usage doesn't warrant a subscription.

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to ask program questions in the forum for the program you are using
To ask in the forum for your program please start at https://community.adobe.com/
Moving from Using the Community (which is about the forums) to the Install forum

 

1 - DE-activate on the old computer

2 - install and activate on new computer

 

NOTE - I don't know the age of Photoshop 11 but it MAY not be possible to activate

The CS2-CS3-CS4 activation servers have been removed from service

My version is CS4 which is no longer supported. Does  Adobe have an Indie subscription or perpetual version? Thanks
