Installing PS on a new computer

[rebeccat68766113]

I bought a full version of PS from the store some time ago when I bought my computer. I was happily using it on my computer which has gone and blown itself up:( Can I use my old discs to download PS again on my new computer or do I have to re pay for a licence?

What version do you have, and what new operating system does the new computer run?

I’m not 100% sure on the PS version I’d have to dig up the Disc, the Computer is running Windows 10 or 11, but I’m thinking of buying a newer one, this one was my back up the one that blew up was my main computer.

Depending on what version of PS your disc is, you  might consider just getting the CC Photography Plan. You can see all of the available plan options here. I say this also because the older your software is, the less likely it's going to work on a new computer. Best of luck

>running Windows 10 or 11

Unless you have a time machine to visit the future, there is no such thing as Windows 11

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10

-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window

-or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL Windows permissions may help... this says Encore, but is sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account) so follow the instructions, substituting the name and location of your specific program for Encore

Ahhh yeah, not 11, sorry I spent all day yesterday updating another software package on my computer which was 11 I had 11 on my mind all day

But I'll have a look at your suggestion thanks.

If it's CS2 or CS3 TELL US BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, using your disk may cause you a lot of needless pain.
