How do I move the plugins to a new computer?

If you've bought a new computer and want to use our plugins on that computer, you don't need to move any files or copy them across. You only need to run the installer program on your new computer. We recommend that you use the latest version of the plugins, which you can download here:

Photoshop Plugin Downloads

If you have purchased the plugin, you will need to enter your unlocking code again on the new computer. You can use the same unlocking code as before. If you have lost your unlocking code, you can retrieve it here:

If you are using the the 64-bit version of Photoshop, note that nearly all Photoshop plugins will not work with the 64-bit version. You can, however, still run the 32-bit version of Photoshop on your 64-bit computer:

If your new computer has Windows Vista installed - and particularly if you use Photoshop CS3 with Vista - you'll want to read over the Vista compatibility information here. You may need to setup a special folder for your Photoshop Plugins:
