Question about Photoshop versions and licensing

Featured Replies

I bought Photoshop through a discount program offered at my university a few years ago. It recently just totally stopped working. I get an "Unkown Error" message every time i try to run it and it crashes.

 

My question is if Photoshop is a one time buy and can I just use my pass key code thing to unlock the newest version?

 

Or am I expected to pay some disgusting amount of money for the newest version?

the serial code is for your program, not the new versions.

However as of the latest update adobe does offer much cheaper "upgrade" pack, no sure what editions they apply to, I think only 4 > 5 is done atm

The "upgrade" packs take ur previous serial code and upgrades it.

Well that just blows. I knew it wasn't going to be a universal update serial, I was just hoping lol.

 

Since I don't want to break any rules here, let me rephrase:

 

Is there any free software available that comes anywhere close to Photoshop?

I'm fairly sure forum rules say we are not allowed to discuss/promote illegal activities, which pirating software is...

Closest free Software to Photoshop that I know of is GIMP 2

I have heard of GIMP but never used it, I will try it out. Thanks.

And depending on what you use Photoshop for, Photoshop Elements (~$70) would also work.

There's also Paint.net. Not sure how it compares to Photoshop though.

Why can't the Big Bang be done by the hand of God?

It could have, but it is next to impossible because it also could have been caused by the flying spaghetti monster, or one of the other infinite number of deity possibilities.

Why not write down your key code and do a fresh install of that version of Photoshop? Chances are that will fix your problem.

 

I would try this first. If you have the serial code for a program that is legitimate, then you shouldn't be unable to use it.
