<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"]This is a excerpt from the licence agreement for Photoshop CS5.


<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"]2.5 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the important restrictions set forth in Section 2.6, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.2 (&ldquo;Primary User&rdquo may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.


<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"]So as far as I can see you are able to install CS5 on two computers, as long as they aren't being used at the same time. I suppose that's where a volume licence would be used. Just quietly though, I can't see how they would monitor this though, especially if you weren't connected to the internet at the time.


<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"]Furthermore, if you have one computer running Windows and another running Mac OS then you'd need to purchase a separate licence for each.


<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"]I can't help you out with the difference in prices between countries.


<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"]I'd suggest you look at the base version of CS5, unless you are interested in 3D rendering then you might consider the extended version. Also, if you or your spouse or whoever else is a student or teacher, go for the education version as it's so so much cheaper. Just be sure you can qualify for that version before purchasing.


<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"]If you don't want to go all out have a look at Adobe's Lightroom 3. It doesn't have all the features of photoshop but is great for managing youphotos and making a hugerange of adjustments to them. It's a very popular program.


<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"]Hope this helps.


<span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Verdana;"]Cheers, Ben.
