Switching Adobe Creative Suite from windows to Mac.

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 for windows a few years ago. We recently purchased a Mac and I'd like to use it on the Mac. Is there a way to switch computers without having to pay for the whole thing again?

There is a platform swap process but it only applies to CS6. CS4 is too old to qualify.
Order product | Platform, language swap
Unfortunately your options are to:
Install Windows via Bootcamp or Parallels on the Mac then run CS4 in the virtual Windows environment on the Mac, or
Buy the full version of CS6, or
Join the Cloud

  • Transfer ADOBE creative Suite from an old Mac to a new Mac, I have the code but I don't have a CD. What are the correct steps?

    Hi
    I bought a new Mac and I want to transfer my Adobe Creative Suit CS6 to it from my old one. What are the correct steps? Please note that I don't have a CD because I downloaded it via the net. It was an upgrade for the student edition. I heard something about deactivation and reactivation but I don't want to do something wrong then lose my precious software. Please help. Thanks.

    You can download the software and install it using the page linked below.

    You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, so there should be no reason to deactivate it on your other machine, or at least you can wait until you see it loaded and working on the new one.

  • Adobe Creative Suite Development:windows vs mac

    When Adobe develops Creative Suite applications do they develop for the Mac or Windows platform first?

    The builds for both platforms are done in parallel for Windows and MacOS from common source files with underlying libraries serving to differentiate how the programs work on particular platforms. The functionality is effectively the same for both platforms except where the underlying OS may prohibit some type of functionality (such as the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance for MacOS was suddenly prohibited by Apple a few releases of MacOS ago).

  • Hi Guys I have asked to transfere my creative suite from windows to mac, no problem, I got the serial number, but I have a windows installation disc how to I get the mac version on my mac computer?

    HI Guys I have recently asked to transfer my Windows creative suite to a Mac computer. I received the serial number but unlike my lightroom install disc, which is win and mac, my Creative Suite disc is windows only, how do I go about installing a Mac version of my creative suite onto the Mac computer?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

    after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace

  • Im changing my PC to a new one, how can I transfer Adobe Creative Suit from my old PC to my new PC?

    Im changing my PC to a new one, how can I transfer Adobe Creative Suit from my old PC to my new PC? I bought it online, so the serial is on my profile.

    You need to install the software on the new machine the same way you installed it on the old machine.  You are allowed to have two activated installations if you would like to retain the original installation as a backup.  If not, then you should deactivate it (Help -> Deactivate in any program),
    If you have a download link in your account online you can use that or you can download thru the page linked below...

  • Can I switch my Adobe CS4 license from Windows to Mac?

    Good Day,
    Recently, I've decided to make the switch over to mac. I have been avoiding it for years, purely because I was worried about whether or not I would be able to use the Adobe Creative Suite I paid so much for all those years ago.
    Is there any way to change the licensing to be used on a mac, rather than a PC?
    Best Wishes,
    Kyami

    No, it's not possible. CS4 is no longer eligible for any upgrades, so a platform swap is out of the question. You have to buy a new license.

  • Adobe Creative Suite from 2003 installation question

    Hi -
      We purchased Adobe Creative Suite Education edition in 2003.   This works and runs on our G4.      Yes I know this is old!
      I'm looking to upgrade to an iMac but have a feelling that the CS from 2003 won't install on newer iMacs as the G4 was using the Motorola chip.
      Can anyone answer this question please?       I don't have the money to buy CS5 and I have been told that educational  versions cannot be upgraded.
    Thanks for your help!

    Sure. So what's the specific problem?
