Hi All.

I downloaded the 30 day trial of Photoshop onto my computer. I would like to move it to my daughters computer. My daughter doesn't have internet access. First off, is this legal? And if it is how would I do this. My computer uses Vista and my daughter uses Windows XP if that matters.

IF it is just a trial, then it is probably legal. It's not likwe you are putting a full copy on both of your computers, and after 20 days, it isn't going to work any more anyway. Burn it to a CD.

Thanks for the quick reply.

When you say burn it to a CD, is that the same as burning pictures or music? Sorry about the basic questions. I'm just learning how to do more than turn a computer on.
