photoshop
Hi,
I bought the Photoshop program from Titles. Can anyone tell me how many times I can download it and on how many computers? (because there is a limit on certain softwares that they can only be downloaded a few times).
+ a friend is asking me if she can borrow it, should i give it to her (asking because of the student licence thing). and can anyone explain what they mean by the student licence thing?

thanks

not really sure but from previous experience, if its a download there is only a limited number of downloads/installations which is stupid. if they gave u a key u should be able to do it unlimited times. u shoulda just pirated it

Yes, that is how it works. However you can deactivate the program once you have it installed from within photoshop regaining one of your two activations, so you can transfer computers. You must have PS linked to your adobe ID for this to work, which is pretty much mandatory anyway, as you can't get updates without doing this. Photoshop will bug you to do this right from the get-go too.

So you can have it on more than 2 computers, but only 2 computers at any given time. Just be careful not to format a computer without deactivating PS first, as you will lose an activation.
