I just purchased Photoshop Elements 6 and am looking at putting it on my laptop and desktop. I am the only one using them, so I don’t believe that there is a problem with this. The question I have though is that one day, in the not too distant future, I may be buying a new desktop. When I do, I will reimage the hard drive and sell the old one. Am I going to have any difficulties loading Photoshop Elements on these computers (are there a maximun number of installations allowed with a license, does it physcally stop me somehow)?

Thanks ahead of time,

Curtis

I don’t think it’s a problem. My PSE5 is installed on 3 PCs. The only caveat is I never purchased a CD. I purchased via download. Don’t know if that makes a difference.

Same with me. Originally dl’d PSE5 to XP PC, then copied the PSE_5.0_WIN_TRYBUY.exe to two Vista machines. Programs worked fine, but somewhere along this process the Help Center got corrupted. 🙁 Tried Elements Village and now I’m waiting for a reply from the tech support. But then, most likely this is just me.

Directly from the PS Elelments 6.0 EULA:
2.4 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the important restrictions set forth in Section 2.5 below, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed ("Primary User") may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer. You may be required to contact Adobe in order to make a second copy.

2.5 Restrictions on Secondary Use by Volume Licensees. If the Software was obtained under an Adobe volume license program (currently known as Adobe Open Options) by any licensee other than an educational volume licensee, the second copy of the Software made under Section 2.4 must be used solely for the benefit and business of that volume licensee.

Ah- that may explain quite a lot. Anyway, I’m still waiting for a reply from tech support, but now I know (partly) what they are going to say 🙂

Again, thanks
