Elements Upgrade

I am looking to upgrade from Elements 11 to 18, is the upgrade only available via a download? I would prefer a hard copy as I periodically rebuild my PC (Desktop) and I also use a laptop when away from home so I am not sure how long the download would available for where it is much easier to use a disk to reinstall.

Regards

Simon

    yes, when you make your purchase you'll download the installation files for the upgrade.  keep the installation files secure and you won't need to download from adobe again.

    during installation you'll need both the new serial number that will be supplied after you purchase AND your elements 11 serial number.  you'll also need to secure both numbers for future re-installations.

    the link to purchase the upgrade:

    Adobe products: desktop, web, and mobile applications | Adobe

    Elements by download from Adobe http://www.adobe.com/products/elements-family.html

     

    Or go to Amazon if you prefer to buy on DVD

     

    Computer crashes happen... the FIRST time you download a program make an external copy
    IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
    -you should ALWAYS keep a copy (or two!) on an external device
    -since Adobe DOES SOMETIMES REMOVE OLD VERSIONS FROM THE SERVER
    -a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a CD or DVD
    -plus a text file containing your serial number if you have a serial number program
