Can CS5 Windows license be transferred to Mac platform?

I have CS5 Design Premium Student and Teacher for Windows and am thinking of replacing my PC with a new Mac computer. Can I transfer my current license to a Mac version?

No. Platform swaps only apply to current versions, meaning CS6. You will have to buy a suitable license/ upgrade and make the platform switch or sign up for Creative Cloud.

    That's probably a better question to present to Adobe than to other users.

  • Transfer CS6 Windows license over to a Mac

    I have been a happy Adobe customer running CS3 through to CS6 on a window computer.  I refuse to be part of the new creative cloud and need to constantly pay monthly fees just to use the latest software.  I am quite happy with what CS6 gives me and meets my needs.
    The problem however is that my Windows machine is on it's last legs and I don't want to buy another and get stuck with Windows 8.  I want to move over to a new iMac 27" unit, but I am a bit stuck with my Adobe CS6 license.
    I know that in the past, well documented people cross platform upgrading from a windows version of CSx to the newer version of CSx on the other platform.  But there is no new version of CS7 coming out.  CS6 is it, and I own it on Windows.  Is there any migration path to exchange your license of CS6 windows to CS6 Mac??
    I would prefer to run a native copy on the iMac rather than needing to mess around with Bootcamp or some virtural desktop to run windows on the mac just to get my Adobe CS6 to work.   Any help on if it's possible and who I should be contacting would be appreciated.

    While I do prefer the Mac platform, Windows versions of software have had a better history of working with newer OSs. You can run a Windows virtual machine on the  Mac and keep the software running nearly forever on the Windows OS of your choice. If you switch to a Mac version of CS6, there is no guarantee that your CS 6 will work with the next version of the Mac OS.
    I run Windows software on my Mac using Parallels. It works quite will as long you don’t need extreme performance. If you do, then I would use Boot Camp. I use Parallels to run the TCS 5 and run the CC software on my Mac simultaneously. If you are a heavy user of Photoshop or AE then Boot Camp is your better bet for speed. For your CS 6 software. Parallels is nice in that you can work with both PC and Mac software simultaneously and even copy and paste as needed.
    BTW, the 27” iMac is a very nice machine. I can recommend it highly.

  • Can i transfer licenses from pc to Mac?

    Hi, i am looking at buying a Mac. Can i transfer my cs5.5 and lightroom 4 to the mac from pc? Or do i need to buy them new for Mac?

    LR is cross-platform, no problem there. Your CS5.5 will however require upgrading to CS6 and conversion to Mac or getting a Creative Cloud license.

  • Does the Acrobat for windows license key work for Mac version?

    When I try to purchase a Acrobat standard license, it shows only 'Windows" in Platform.
    My question is, will the key (if I purchase) work for Mac version?
    Thanks

    Never have figured out why they do not allow one S/N for both versions, particularly since some folks may have a Windows desktop and a MAC laptop. Unfortunately they do not and you have to purchase a version for each.

  • I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can  I install the same license copy on mac ?

    I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can  I install the same license copy on mac ?

    Unfortunately, no. the CS programs are platform specific. You have three options. Upgrade to CS6 and request a platform swap, in which case you will give up the Windows serial number. Second, you could buy a second serial number for Mac outright. Third, you can buy the subscription to Photoshop CC, which can be used on both Windows and Macintosh..

  • How can I change the CS5 Windows version for a Mac version?

    I want to change from Windows to Mac, but I can't afford to buy new products.  Is this the only way or is there some kind of transfer?

    Once I upgrade, how complicated is the transfer process and is there a cost involved?
    You don't need to do the transfer process since your CS5.5 is not eligible for transfer.
    You would have to pay the upgrade cost to upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6
    http://www.adobe.com/au/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html
    If you choose that route, just buy the CS6 for Mac (upgrade version). No more to do.
    Install CS6 on your Mac (no need to install CS5.5 first), enter your CS6 (Mac) upgrade serial number then enter your CS5.5 (Win) serial number when prompted.
    And I'm embarrassed to say that my knowledge of the cloud is limited.  Why do you advise to join in relationship to the discussion?
    I'm not necessarily advising you to join. That's your decision based on reading the material on the Adobe website.
    I don't work for Adobe. Just giving you options. I've no idea of your needs or requirements or workflow. Only you know that and if the Cloud is worth your while and fits into your budget.
    The Cloud is available by subscription only and gives you access to current versions of just about all major Adobe software titles. Check the website to see exactly what is, and is not, included. When you stop paying your monthly membership fee, your software stops working.

  • CS5 on Windows to CS6 on a Mac - can it be done?

    I will switch over to a Mac from a Windows platform. Presently I am using Photoshop CS5, but since I cannot install this on a Mac perhaps I can update to a CS6 and ask for a Mac platform. Would I be able to install this on my new Mac? What about the product key (I have the original one that came with the DVDs). Thanks anyone out there.

    This is easy to do with CS6.
    See http://prodesigntools.com/move-adobe-cs5-between-computers-or-windows-to-mac.html
    Refer section sub-heading: How to Switch Platforms from PC to Mac (or Vice Versa)
    Just purchase the CS6 upgrade from http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html

    Hi There,
    We would like to inform you that you have got the serial number for Mac, it would not work on Mac machine as it is OS specific.
    If you wish you use a mac machine that you can swap the platform please refer the below mentioned link.

  • I own Adobe CS4 for PC, but recently purchased a Mac. Can my license be transferred to a download that is Mac compatible?

    I own Adobe CS4 for PC, but recently purchased a Mac. Can my license be transferred to a download that is Mac compatible?

    No, it cannot. Platform swaps only for current versions, meaning CS4 and I'm afraid you are long past any upgrade eligibility, too. that and of course CS4 is not compatible with current versions of OSX. So before endlessly wasting time, simply sign up for Creative Cloud.
