Question

Use older Photoshop Elements on a 32-bit computer

Dear Adobe Elements Community,

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 for my work computer and wanted to install it on my home computer, but found that the home comp is Windows 7 32-bit with service pack 1, so the latest version I can run is 14. According to customer support, Adobe doesn't provide any way of obtaining licenses for older versions. Since I am sure there are many 14 licenses out there that people have since upgraded, I was wondering if a license transfer from one of those would be possible, and how I might find a person willing to transfer the license. Or if people have other ideas I look forward to hearing them.

Thanks,

Chris

This is how to transfer a license:

Transfer an Adobe product license

Hi,

Thanks for the reference. It says that "The transfer of a license includes all versions of that product. If you sell or donate your registered copy of an Adobe product license, then you transfer your rights to all versions of that license as well." If someone upgrades to a new version do they remain on the same license, in which case they couldn't transfer just the older version?

Any recommendations on how to find holders of older licenses who would want to transfer?

Best regards,

Chris

A new version comes with a new license.
