I have a very old version of Photoshop (v.6.0) on a computer and I need to move it to new computer I'm switching to. I won't need it on the old computer any longer.
I don't have any type of installation disc, activation code, or serial number as this was purchased many years ago. I still have my old computer and photoshop is installed and running fine. Is the serial number someone on my old computer running photoshop?
Is there a way to get what I need from my old computer in order to install this old version of photoshop to my new computer?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Is a very old Photoshop better than a very new GIMP?

Lol, I hear ya Gabe.
I am just very comfortable with how to use Photoshop. I don't use it often, but when I do, I know what I'm doing.
With Gimp, it's a new learning curve. I tried it and just personally like my old PS version better for what I need.
Because my version of PS is so old, there must not have been too many security measures in place for the program back then. I simply copied the entire Photoshop folder from my the Program files folder on my old computer and copied it to the program files folder on my new computer and it's working fine. Didn't think it would be that easy!
