  Hello!

  If you have an OEM of Windows license (which is pre-installed when you purchased your PC) on the old computer and want to use it on a new computer (PC with another motherboard), it is not possible.

  If you have a retail license (if you bought separately):

  1 note your product key: use a program like Nirsoft Produkey to get

  As long as you have purchased a cross-platform license, it should be as easy to install the version of Windows on the Windows machine and using the serial number, you must activate it.  In the past licensed PES was cross-platform default, so you might be lucky.

  PES 10, 11, 12, 13 - https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-downloads.html

  You can also download the demo version of the software through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

  Don't forget to follow the steps described in the Note: very important Instructions in the section on the pages of this site download and have cookies turned on in your browser, otherwise the download will not work correctly.

• How to transfer the license to a different computer (CS5)

  Hi all, I'm really sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask, but I thought it was the right one!

  I need to transfer the license to the standard design CS5 together on another computer, since the old one it'll be sold and put in shape.

  I have not found the right way to do it, so I'm asking here.

  Thank you for your help.

  Linda

  Hi Windycina,

  I believe that you always have access to the serial number. If you do, please use the below download link to download Adobe Design Standard CS5 (if you do not have the media with you) and use the serial number to complete the installation.

  Other downloads

  For the deactivation of the previous machine, please start one of the products (i.e. Photoshop), navigate to help > Deactivate.

  See you soon,.

• How to transfer a license of Acrobat Pro XI to replacement computer?

  I bought a replacement desktop PC and want to know how can I transfer the license for Acrobat Pro XI.

  
  

  I searched the forum for this question, but most often answers suggest simply install, informing that the license purchased covers two computers. However, as I already have the software installed and registered on my laptop and my desktop computer, I don't have this option.

  
  

  I spotted a couple of other responses, suggested by contacting the customer service, but it's a link that * don't * target an option "contact customer service", which leaves the issue hanging.

  
  

  Advice welcome.
  

  Hi equitan,.

  To transfer the license from one pc to another how to proceed is to 'Disable' the license first of the older machine.

  To accomplish this, you need to launch Acrobat, go to the 'Help' menu and select 'disable '.

  On the new machine, you can install Acrobat and then use the serial number to 'Turn on' the software and it will complete the transfer of license.

  You can refer to the KB Doc: Activation & deactivation help

• How to transfer the license for Photoshop CS6 Mac for Windows?

  Hello. So I first check by myself, but I really lost hope. I bought my license in 2012 and never know that one day I'll go on a personal computer. Here I am, finishing download Windows 10 and I was wondering to download Photoshop for return to work with my new computer. But the box of my Photoshop license is for Mac. Actually, 3 years ago I didn't know that there is a real difference.

  I founded on Adobe TV that it is possible to download on a PC or Mac with creative cloud. But I have not found anything to level or something similar to be able to download on my PC, without going through a subscription. In fact, I want to stay with the license and not a regular subscription to pay.

  Thanks again for the attention given to my question.

  Please see a product for another language or version of trading platform

  Hope this will help you.

  Kind regards

  The OEM of Windows 8.0/8.1 license is related to the motherboard and not the hard drive, so you can reuse the new hard disk provided his will in the same computer.

  About the old drive you need not to worry about the formatting as the old disk can never be reused. If you want to be sure, you can physically break the old disk with a hammer before throwing.

• How to transfer a license of Windows 8

  I have a pro license of Windows 8 and installed on an old laptop.

  I want to install Windows 8 on my laptop today. Is there a way to disable the existing windows license and activate it on my new laptop?

  I got this license in India and I reside now in Germany.

  Thank you

  Well, the first thing you'd have to do is to withdraw the license of the current computer or at least uninstall the product key then proceed to upgrade the new laptop using the same key.

  On the old computer:

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click prompt (Admin)

  At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs - upk

  Press enter, this will uninstall the product key of the computer and to the evaluation mode, you are now free to use it on another computer.

  Update the computer to Windows 8 Pro:

  Press the Windows key + X

  Click System

  On Windows, click the link:

  Get more features with a new edition of Windows

  
  

  Click on the "I already have a product key link.

  Enter your product key and you will be promoted to the Pro.

  Because the key was already in use, you may need to reactivate by phone:

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

  
  

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  In regards to the old computer, if it came with an earlier version of Windows such as Windows 7 or Vista, use the recovery partition to reinstall or to reinstall the older version of the original install media.
