    Hello,
    I'm new to buying software. Am intetested in purchasing Photoshop elements.
    My question is prob an easy one really. If I buy a copy of this now, install it. but if I change my laptop in the future, do I have to buy a brand new copy again for my new computer. Any answer greatly appreciated.

    No. You deactivate it on your old computer and install it on your new one.

    Adobe Creative Suite licenses allow for two installations of the software but only one can be running at a time. I'd imagine Elements would be the same.

    Thanks for that. Would you believe the staff at Harvey Normans told me that I'd have to go buy it all over again. She even went off to check it with the guy 'in the know'.
