How to install photoshop elements on my Mac laptop?

I had bought adobe photoshop elements 13 and adobe premiere elements 13 in 2015. I had installed it in my dell laptop. Recently I bought a MacBook and I want to install the photoshop and premiere elements in it.

Can I install the old version that I bought earlier or do I have to purchase a new one?

If I can install the old version, please let me know the steps to install. I have the serial number of my adobe products.

Thanks in advance

    No need to worry if you do not have the discs, and I am afraid that you would even have a DVD drive with your MAC laptop.

    You can anytime download the Elements Setup for MAC from here: Download Photoshop Elements | 2018, 15, and 14

    Install it and then you can use the serial number delivered with the box to activate it on your MacBook.

    Just be informed that you would be able to activate it, only if you bought the serial key that is multiple platform, and not specific to windows. If that is the case, then you would not be able to Serialize the product on a Macbook, and can only be used on Windows.

    Thanks

      I didn't remember about the discs exactly. I guess I purchased it online along with my Dell purchase. Is there any other way I could install it in my Mac as I don't want to spend on it again.

      Thanks!

      If you bought the old version in a box with discs, there will be both the Mac and PC versions.  If you have the serial numbers, you should be able to install on your Mac.  The registration limit is for two computers.  If you didn't de-register your old, you have one left.

      If you bought as a download, you only got one version and will have to buy a new copy. 

      Good luck!  I hope you bought the disks!
