I tried to download the trial version but it won't let me, I have windows vista, just starting intermediate photography course, can I buy the elements cd instead? As I don't think I need to be paying monthly, Can we download onto two separate laptops with one disc, is it the one disc for life or is it a new one each year ? Please

Linda

    As far as I know, Adobe no longer directly sells the program on CD... and the current version won't run on Vista

    You might check Amazon to see if they have an old version still in stock that will run on your old operating system

    If you do find a version compatible with your old operating system the license allows 2 installs

    You really need to think about updating your computer if you're doing photography in today's market.

    None of Adobe's Cloud subscription software runs on Vista and the last version of Photoshop Elements to support Vista was version 12 which Adobe stopped selling in 2014.

    Suggest you consider investing in at least an entry level laptop running Windows 10.
