How do you move your CS4 Design Premium from a old commuter to a newer computer?

[Candy451]

I currently have the CS4 Design Premium on a laptop that has seen its last years. I would like to take the program and put it on my newer Desktop. I have no idea how to do that. Please help!

If you don't plan to use the old computer anymore you can deactivate the software on it by opening one of the applications and choosing Help -> Deactivate.  But if you could possibly use it as a backup installation feel free to leave it there in working order (you license allows you to have two activated installations).

To install on a new machine do just that... install it and activate it using the serial number you have from the original purchase.  If you registered the software you should be able to find the serial number thru your Adobe account online.
