Frequently the question arises as to whether or not the installed Premiere Elements program is the same if it is installed using the Adobe disc instead of the Adobe download. Keep in mind that, at this time, Adobe direct sells only the download version which is marketed as full featured (trial or purchase); whereas the program on Adobe disc as well as a downloaded version can be purchased from 3rd party vendors. Typically, the question of disc versus download install is answered by the reply that the installed program is same from either type of install.
One scenario that causes this type of question relates to user with a computer which does not come with a DVD drive. Another scenario may involve the user who wants the same program on desktop with DVD drive and, at the same time, on a second computer that does not come with DVD drive.
Be it Adobe Premiere Elements 15 DVD disc or the Adobe Premiere Elements 15 download, operating system support is for Windows 7 SP1, 8, or 10 64 bit (32 bit systems no longer supported) or Mac with 64 bit multicore Intel processor including operating system information Mac OSX 10.10 or 10.11 or 10.12.
Note: Photoshop Elements 15/Premiere Elements 15 combo box packaging gives the Mac OSX 10.10 or 10.11. Adobe Premiere Elements 15 download page is not specific. Adobe Premiere Elements 15 System Requirements online document includes Mac OSX 10.12 as well as 10.10 or 10.11.

At this time, time permitted the above observations for only Premiere Elements 15 Windows and the program's sources cited. I do not have a Mac computer; consequently any Mac information is taken from what I have read.
