Element 11

[AntonellaB]

Good morning,

I've purchased Adobe Element 11 over 7 years ago. It came with a disk. My desktop is dead and I purchased a new laptop that does not have a disk opening. Can I still download it by using the model and serial information still found on the box?  Yes, I know is an old program, but it works for me, and I don't need anything else. I don't want to purchase another one if I can still use the one I have.

Thank you all in advance for your reply.

Adobe has been encouraging people to stay with the latest versions of software by making it harder to get to older versions. But you can try this link and see if they can provide you a copy of version 11.

Though 2012 was quite a while ago and a technology has done a lot of evolving since then. (Version 11 was still build for 32-bit operating systems!) It might be worth updating.

You can use an external disc drive.

I just bought a USB DVD player/disc drive.  They are amazingly cheap now.
