Are you allowed to run PSE 13 on a Pc and a Mac. Or do I need to buy 2 copies?

A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.

If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

In the Help section, there is an option to Activate/Deactivate. If you move from computer to another, deactivate the software on the one you're not using, then activate it on the one at which you are doing the work. It is an instantaneous process, so it is very easy to do. I've done this when moving from my PC to laptop and back, with only one license.


Great news. Thanks for fast response!

In PSE, to deactivate, one uses Help>Sign Out (your email address).

I have not experienced a limitation on using my two instances at the same time. If you do just turn off your Internet link on one computer while using.

I've never tried it with CC, but does anyone know if CC works the same way? Just purchased a new laptop for location use only, and it would be nice if I had it "just in case" for simple fixes on the fly.

If not, I can load Elements on it, as I only have it on one machine, but really hard to use elements when you are used to CC.
