Moving Photoshop Elements 9 to New Computer

We had been using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows computer.  It died and was replaced with a Mac. The Mac also runs Windows in a virtual environment when needed, and it has the disc drive from the former Windows computer installed. 

We cannot get Photoshop to run.  meanwhile, we have the disc and box, but we don't know how to load Photoshop again without a disc drive on the Mac.  meanwhile, it seems like everything should already be on the had disk drive that is attached.

Help appreciated.  My daughter has a school project that needs photoshop.

do not move/migrate any adobe programs including pse.

install pse using the mac install file on your disk.  or download the install file using the below info.

if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-9-premiere-elements-9-direct-download-links.html

and activate with your serial number.

if you have a download problem (eg, you see an error page or you are offered an incorrect version), you probably didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that (a restrictive browser setting) is another potential source of problems.

Thanks much.

I don¹t think I can use the Mac install file because I no longer have a CD

drive. I will try the download approach.

I will give it a try. Thanks again.
