Putting Elements on netbook?

[gazfy]

Hi All,

This is probably a dumb question but I bought Elements 9 and have installed it on my 'main' laptop, just realised I'd like it on my netbook too. Only problem is the netbook doesn't have a cd drive... how do I get it on there? Do I try to copy the installation disc onto a pen drive or???

Thanks,
Gary.

Had the same problem. In the end I had to beg, steal & borrow a usb disk drive from work for the evening

You could download the demo and enter your product code I think you get 2 licences per copy for personal use

It's worth checking out the EULA, I know for Lightroom it's one desktop and one laptop.

I shared the DVD drive on my main computer over my network and installed from there.

Thanks all, I'll try sharing the drive over my home network first!

You may have to change the screen resolution on the netbook to install Elements. I changed it to 1024x768 and the software installed correctly. In order to run Adobe Camera Raw I need to change the resolution again and do this using a couple of shortcuts to run a little piece of software called Reschange. One changes the resolution to 1024x768 and the changes it back to 1024x600 and it just makes life a little easier. Once ACR is open I swap back to 1024x600.
