can [4820tg] I replace my hard drive and always keep the Windows license?
Hey! A quick question, on an older laptop that is still alive.
Acer Aspire 4820TG
Windows 7 family
Can I replace the hard drive and install Windows again?
I mean, I burned the recovery CD or software any Acer asked when the computer was new. Those can be used to install Windows if I replace the current hard drive?
If so, how does the license? I guess that they can not be used on another computer, but I can reinstall all I want on this one?
Thanks in advance!
And this laptop is awesome. Runs strong through its 4th year and the battery still pumps on ~ 4-5 hours by being careful with the use. Heh, the other parts are probably die slowly, including the hard drive.
Well.
Yes to all your questions.
You must use the recovery media that you have created, just check that they are still ok or create a new one, just in case where.
on the license, it's like SLIC table BIOS, so you don't need to enter a serial number and your windows will be activated automatically.

Error that says 'install' is corrupted and cannot be opened. You must eject the disk image
Then he said: 'install' is on the 'photoshopelements_9_LS15.dmg' Safari downloaded disk image this disk image today at 13:33 from trials2.adobe.com
I had to replace my hard drive and cannot find the disc for my Photoshop Elements 9, so I need to download on the internet. I connected to Adobe and got my serial number when I bought and then went to downloads. There is only one place that has an option to download items and it is grouped under 9,8,7. I downloaded and then it opened and when I click on install, I get the above message. I don't understand what else to do. I don't mind the upgrade if that's what I have to do but didn't have the 9 items I bought initially already installed on my computer?
Help, please... I am not very computer detailed help would be greatly appreciated.

I replaced my hard drive and format my computer before turning off the software PS. It need my code series now, but I had lost.
How can I solve the problem and use the software again?
If you use a perpetual Photoshop and formatted your disc version of starting without disabling your activation of Photoshop, you also Adobe supports help you activate Photoshop once you retrieve your serial number. The startup disk formatting would destroy that credential of Activation Photoshop machine which is registered in the database of the Adobe activation server. Which reduces the activation numbers you have to use. If you have Photoshop installed on a second computer that means that you have no free activation available as well, even with your key you can't activated the machine.

I had to replace my hard drive and can not get my Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 to activate. I tried the phone and the Web site and have two serial numbers. I can't find a number that strives to speak to a live person at Adobe. I need to reduce the size of the pixel today on some photos and need the program. Is there another way to reduce pixel if I can't get my Photoshop runs today?
See the page linked below. Your installation/serail number will not work. You need to acquire a download for it with a specially assigned serial number...

You will need to borrow an installation disc to a former operating system Microsoft - Windows 95, 98 or me. There is no way around it. If person don't you know is an older drive, you can borrow for a few minutes, you will need, you will need to either buy a copy full XP or take the unit to a local computer professional to do the XP installation for you.
