How do I install an existing account on a new computer?

[Guest]

I just got a new laptop and I want to download photoshop onto it without purchasing it again.

You install programs exactly the same way you did the 1st time... put your disc in the drive and enter your serial number when asked

.

Download & Install instructions https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2003339 may help

-includes a way to go to a page to download Adobe programs if you don't have a disc or drive

-you will need to enter your original serial number during install for non-Cloud programs

I don't have a disk but do you know where I find the serial number? I don't remember ever entering one the first time I just put in my credit card info and it downloaded.

Some general information for a Cloud subscription

Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

.

Does your Cloud subscription properly show on your account page?

https://www.adobe.com/account.html for subscriptions on your Adobe page

If you have more than one email, are you sure you are using the correct Adobe ID?

.

If yes

Log out of your Cloud account... Restart your computer... Log in to your paid Cloud account

This is an old, outdated document - we don't use disks, or license numbers to install the software.
