PSE2 - download on 2nd pc?

[Liz]

I have the PhotoshopElements2 on my pc and am upgrading to PSE3. I'd like to install the old PSE2 software to use in another computer. Is this possible? Or am I going to run into registration or other problems? I can't find any reference in the manual to installing software in 2 computers.

Thanks.

You should be fine - I think the live registration thing is only with CS and CS2. I haven't registered the copy of PSE that I have on my computer at work (yes, I use a camera for work sometimes!) and it's just fine. I think I'd skip the registration when re-installing PSE2 on the new computer, but go ahead and register PSE3 if you want. Actually I'll bet that you could get PSE3 to install just fine on both machines.

Liz,

I had PSE2 loaded on both of my PC's without any registration problems. My only question is, why do you wnat to load PSE2 on your other system? If the registration isn't going to be a problem, you might as well install PSE3 on both of your systems.

Actually - it's not my other system. I have a friend who just bought her first digital camera - an inexpensive P&S and the next day she lost her job. I have this brand new PSE3 that I haven't installed yet...........so....... I didn't want to just "throw" the PSE2 away. ;) I'm sending her a few other necessities, so thought I'd pack the software too. :-)
