Can anyone help please?

Hi everyone! Long time no see!

OK.....I have a new laptop running on Windows8, On my old desktop, I have Adobe Photoshop + Adobe Reader.

How can I transfer it to my new laptop? [or is it even possible?]

I can't afford to buy it again and, on Google, I found a free version of it but when I downloaded it, it asked me for a serial number?

No idea what this is so had to leave it.

Any help from techies appreciated!

Liz

The Adobe Reader can be downloaded free

As for Photoshop, do you have memory stick?

If so, transfer it from the old computer to the memory stick, then transfer that to your new laptop.

Make sure you copy the actual programme, and not do as I did and copy the shortcut.

Alternatively, how did you acquire Photoshop originally

If you downloaded it, then paid, and they sent you an activation code, check if you still have this code in your emails.

If not, email Adobe and ask them, giving as much information as you can, so they can see that you have paid.

Thanks for reply mustard!

No memory stick...[never seen one! lol]

It came via my eldest son who sent me a disk with it on but I must have thrown it out!

I will have to ask yougest son [that is when he gets time from his very busy chef job!] if he can copy and tanfer it for me.

Reading the thread I think you'll get one when you download.

Petal used that I think so you might get more info in a message?

BTW, I've still got a superb photo of a glamorous lady......

Liz, I see some right sights around that are 20 - 30 years younger than you and I often think about your pic when I see them!

Keep well.
