Transfer/upgrade of long registered version of PS CS4 on cell phone deadline on the new MacBook Air without going to monthly subscriptions?

Hi all, I'd be grateful for advice please as I'm going round in circles with this for days now.

I would like to use Photoshop on my new MacBook Air, but I don't want to pay a monthly fee. I have a registered version of CS4 on my old machine, with the serial number, but I do not see how to install it on the Air without going into the CC - I really want to pay a monthly fee to use a product that I already paid for.

So, my question is, are at - it an older version of the trial of the PS that I could download for Air and then upgrade? Obviously I can not put the original disc as there is no drive. Each trial download that I found so far installed PS CC.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Chloe,.

To be honest I'm not sure what the rule was with CS4, certainly today you are allowed to have Photoshop on both machines, but that might not always have been the case. In any case, you can test. Do not turn off on the old machine and try to install on the new. If he accepts your serial number, then you know it's possible, if not then you will need to disable it on your old Mac. I tend to think that for some people, CS4 is all they will ever need, but like you said there is no route update to CS5 now. The big problem with older versions is sure that they will not work with the new operating systems, more true for Mac and Windows, and also because that Camera Raw is not updated they need Adobe's DNG Converter to work with the latest cameras. Photographic membership is good value for the money, but not if you've spent $1000 in the course Photoshop purchase. Not much I can say really, but it's business.
