I am getting a new computer with Windows 7. Is there a problem moving Photoshop CS4 from one computer to another computer? Are you allowed to have it installed in two computers? Please advice and thanks.

Based on my CS3 experience, yes you can install CS4 on two systems, and actually on more, but Photoshop CS3/CS4 requires activation to operate and your licence can only be active/activated on 2 systems at a time.

If you want to switch activation to another computer where you have had it installed, you do a Help, Deactivate, then go to the other system and do a Help, Activate.

So, basically, no problem having installed and running (activated) on 2 systems. Best though to deactivate before un-installing or removing from any system - to avoid the long phone call and wait session with Adobe.
