I guess there is a way, I just need to find out how to do it or what is required to do it.

Sorry David but you misunderstand what I want to do. I only want to put one program on the M4. Only one.  
Cheers.

if you read when you bought element you will see this line

[Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) requires macOS 13 Ventura or newer.

Base, Plus, and Pro licenses are per user and include 1 year of updates and allow installation on **3 Macs.**

so just install it on the m4

Exactly, and you can deactivate your old Mac from your new install by going to the registration window 😊

How do I do that without paying for it again? What do I use to install it???

In your email receipt for [elements](https://elementsapp.io/). there should be a link to it. Click on that. Install, and, probably, enter serial number

Sorry you had to go hunting for it!

There’s always a download link in the new build posts, and you can always download the latest build of [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) here 👉 [http://realmacsoftware.com/download/elements/](http://realmacsoftware.com/download/elements/)

I plan to add the download link to the website next week!

Thanks Dan. Yes that would be a good idea.  
I always keep the software licence number emails of all my software in a special folder, but somehow I didn’t do it for [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/). Think I’m getting old.  
It took me so long because I was searching for Rapidweaver [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) instead of RealMac.  
Cheers,  
Paul
