Transfer Older version of PSE to another person.

I recently updated my version of PSE from 13 to 19. I want to give the older version to my son. Adobe seems to imply that if I transfer a license of one version , I will lost rights to all of them. After all I bought and paid for both versions, they should be handled separate. It seem unreasonable that outdated software cannot be transferred to another person. Can someone help me with this.

Also can one license of PSE be run on two of my computers?

Thanks

  • You can install the software on as many computers as you like
  • Of those installations, a maximum of two can be activated for use at any time. You can toggle activations between computers via Help > Sign In / Sign Out at any time
  • Of the two activated installations, you can only use one at a time

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I did buy a complete version of PSE 19 so I'm good to go. You have been very helpful.
