Hi Paul,

I was told that I could install Photoshop Pro on a 2nd computer (laptop) at no charge and I already have the URL to download

and install it from but when I try to download it, it will ask me for the serial number of the program before it allows me to download and install it.  The only thing I have and ever received when I ordered or that came with the computer was the Order Confirmation number. The Order Confirmation lists all the items that were bundled with the computer but the only thing it says about the photo edititing software is as followss:  "Adobe Priemiere & Photoshop Elements 10"

Getting serial number for the Photo Shop Pro software that came bundle with my computer? This program was never registered with Photoshop when received or later as far as that goes.  Any thoughts on how I can provide the serial number for the Photo Shop Pro that came with the computer or any idea we could try.

Hi:

The only suggestion I can offer would be to see if a free utility such as Belarc Advisor will be able to provide the Photoshop product key installed on your desktop.

Never had much luck with Belcore - But hears the deal - I never edit video files and the only things I do with photos is to resize them if necessary and to make the background transparent, so I decided I would just download a photo editing piece of software called Gimp (it's an open source but compatible with Windows 10) and is free but has very good reviews. In the top 10 free photo editing software available it was #1.  I have watched several YouTub video tutorials on it and it is pretty powerfull and does what I need easily.  So I really don't need anything with tons of bells-and-whistles and being retired and since I am on Social Security money is a major deal - and FREE is right-up-my-alley (old saying, you probably are to young to have heard it). Anyway, nice talking with you again. Hope you have a Blessed Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas and an even better New Year!!!

Photoshop Pro and Photoshop Elements are very different versions of Photoshop.

If your license is for the latter, it can not be used to install the former.

Thanks, @shu-hi

I hope you have a wonderful and blessed holiday season too!

I found that Gimp photo editing software last month.  It would do anything I would ever need it to do.

I re-read your response about Gimp.  You say you have it installed and have used it?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, I used it to crop a picture.

[shu-hi]

Greeat - I gotta give it a try. Thanks

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Definitely give it a try.

It does more stuff than I would ever need it for.

I rarely edit photos, so it is not something I will ever become familar with using.

I will only use it to resize and make an image background transparent - would also use it to crop but you never know when you may need to do something with an image that you weren't expecting to have to do, then the extra features would come in handy.  Only thing that concerns me about free software like this is how good the uninstall works but I guess that is pretty much a feature  of the OS, right?
