Hello. Hope someone can help with this here first before I get in touch with Adobe. I own photoshop CS and have registered it on my computer. My computer has decided to cease working properly (refuses to go on the internet also). I now have a new computer which I would like to install photoshop again. The question is, Can I install photoshop on my new comp without any hassle?(even though I have registered it previously) Can I unistall the photoshop on my old comp without hassle? Will I have to get in touch with Adobe to tell them that I'm changing computers? (all the registration info will remain the same) cheers turner

You are allowed two activations of CS, nominally one for home and one for work, so you should be able to activate it on your new system without problems if your old PC was the only one you've installed to. The old activation will eventually time-out, I believe, so that you can re-use it on your next PC but I've no idea of the interval: unlike the system used by Macromedia for Freehand MX you don't have to (and in fact can't) de-activate your old copy.
