Can a student purchase both PC and MAC versions of the creative suite master collection?

Hi, hoping someone can help.
I started my course on a PC (I had only recently had a PC built when I started, therefore I couldn't justify buying a Mac at the time). I'm now about to purchase my first iMac and I am still a student so I will need the creative suite on the Mac. I have the Master Collection CS5 for PC.
I am unsure whether they allow a student to purchase both platforms?
I am fine with uninstalling the PC version. I know I won't be able to transfer the PC CS5 to Mac CS5.5. If I need to pay for the student version of the Master Collection for Mac, I am able to afford that (barely, but it's a necessity!) however there is no way I would be able to afford the Retail version.
What are my options?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi vjadore, there's good news. There do exist some clear limitations of the Student Editions, but with Adobe's rules you can purchase one product twice for both platforms if you'd like
However, one of the assumptions in your post was not quite right...
You actually can change your existing software from one operating system to the other... even the Education versions. This is called an Adobe platform "crossgrade" and people do it all the time. Here are the instructions for getting a crossgrade done, if that's what you want to do
Hope this helps!

You can use Parallels desktop or VM Fusion to run both operating systems at the same time. Both programs work well, but I personally perfer VM Fusion.

I currnently own a Macintosh computer with Creative Suite Master collection and I need help

I own a Macintosh computer with Creative Suite master collection and I just recently bought a Windows 8 computer that I want to use Creative Suite on also, I do not want to buy a brand new product as I have proof of ownership on my Creative Suite, is there ANY way I can get around buying a new product? I own the item for Mac I just want it for windows also, any answers will be appreciated!

It depends. If it's a CS6 suite you can apply for a platform change to Windows free of charge, but you terminate your Mac license.
CS5, you would pay an upgrade fee and be able to change the license.
CS4 and below... you have no options other than buying a Full Windows version of CS6.

Which version?
You could download the installer file from Adobe and install from that instead but it's a big file (6+ GB).

I no longer have access to the school email when I purchased my mac a few years ago. I recently purchased a new computer and want to deactivate the creative suite on the old computer and activate it on my new computer. Thank you

Would it be possible that saved passwords would work on both http and https version of the same site as some pages are switching from http to https?

Some sites are switching from http to https protocols and some sites run both. This creates some duality when you have saved passwords. You either save passwords for both versions of the site. And if you visit the https version for the first time you just have to go and look up the password as (personally) I don't remember all of my passwords.
Would it be possible that unless there are different passwords for different version of the site that firefox would use the one that it has already saved?

You will have to save the password again in case the submit URL and possibly other parameters change.
You can try this extension:

HT3500 I cannot connect Macbook (OS 10.6.8) to Epson XP 400 wirelessly. It works when connected to a USB cable. Both printer and Mac are on the same network and Norton/symantic is OFF. The Epson will not show up in "add printer". is off.

I cannot connect my Macbook to Epson printer XP 400. Both are on the same network and Symantic anti virus is disconneted.
Add printer does not find the Epson. All works when I use the USB cable.

Further information on my question about the epson wireless printer and macbook.
It seems that the epson xp-400 works wirelessly only with 802.11n wireless network not with 802.11g or earlier.
Does anyone else know about this. I read it on the epson support site for epson xp-400.
Also epson xp-400 will not work wirelessly if it is already connected to a computer with a USB cable.

It is possible for linux version to use the same icons of windows and mac version in the navigation bar?

Firefox for linux uses the gtk theme icon in navigation bar, instead mac and windows uses other (trasparent) icons . I find more beautiful icons used in mac and win. Is there any way to force firefox to use this type of icons?

Have you checked the themes add ons? You may find a "Windows 7" theme or something similar!

How do I Reinstall My Creative Suite Master Collection version CS6 onto my New Mac???

Hello all,
After 2.5 years, my "new" now "old" macbook pro crapped out. Well before it did, as a graphic designer, I purchased the CS6 Master Suite Collection. I have my serial number, yet am unable to figure out how to reinstall the programs onto my new computer, simply using the serial number from the programs purchased and loaded onto the old computer.
Please help. Thanks.
Joshua

Download the installation files and install and activate them using your serial number.
CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
If your original installation was still working when the machine crapped out you should contact Adobe Support thru chat and have them reset your activation count so that you retain an extra one if you ever want/need to have two working installations.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Connection of Nano to both PC and Mac ?

Hello there! I was wondering if now that the NANO is flash based rather than hard drive based, whether this means that the device can be connected to both PC and MAC platforms simultaneously since there might not be formatting issues (like fat32 vs. whatever file system MAC uses)
Anyone knows if this is possible? Has it been tested/done with shuffle?

Hi,
I imagine it's a bit of a pain, but it sounds like there is a conflict somewhere. The only other thing could be settings under the power options to stop hard drives or display after certain amount of time. Then there's always te happy thought of a virus, but hopefully not.
First double check power options (I know it's annoying) by right clicking on the screen going to the screen saver page and selecting the power management options, look to ensure that on both battery and plug, had disk and video are set to "Never". Additionally, ensure that power management isn't being handled by the Sony Vaio software.
Next, with the iPod plugged in, go to hardware manager and delete at least the iPod from where it appears. Ideally delete everything relating to USB, including the controller and then reboot with nothing else attached. Ensure that windows adds back each USB item one at a time. This will eliminate the chance of corruption (hopefully).
Two other things to try.
1.) remove allother USB devices, even printer, and just have the iPod connected. If there is a conflict with another device this will help determine that.
2.) make sure that the iPod is connected directly to a SUB port on the PC and not connected through a USB hub. In the past, USB hubs have caused many sleepless nights for iPod users.
Let me know how all of this goes.
Kevin
