OEM from Purplus Computers

Cheapest I have seen Version 8.

Reseller Ratings

$50 plus ~$4 shipping.



If you're a Costco member, Costco is selling the regular box version of Photoshop Elements 8 for $50 in-store this month (with coupon from your coupon book).

Edit: also $50 on-line from costco.com (free shipping): http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11495740


Are there any downsides to the OEM version? Perhaps it is non-transferable (one install only)? Also, does anyone know how many machines you can install Photoshop Elements 8 on? I hope they give you at least two licenses.

Well, darn it, robby818, now you've got me curious! Last I knew, regular Photoshop had a limit of 5, so I imagine Elements should be similar.

I'll see if I can scare a confirmation up, but in the meantime, anyone else got any info?

Edit: I'm a little iffy on OEM software, especially Adobe software. As far as I'm aware OEM is available legally only through one of their bundles. Top that with Purplus.net's FAQ page, I'd say tread carefully. From their FAQ: "Tech support is usually not provided for OEM software, however, most of the information is on a CD or on manufacturer's web site."

They are however, as they claim, a BBB accredited business, with an "A" rating. And they do have a physical address listed.

Anyone else got a take on OEM software and such?
