Can I convert my license from windows to mac?

I have a license key for CS5.5 on windows, but just bought a new macbook.
The install process on the mac says that my serial number is invalid. How do I convert it from a windows key to a mac key?

Unfortunately only the most recent Suite, CS6, is supported with the option to swap platforms.  You would have to install a Windows emulator on the Mac for a chance at installing the version you have.

  • Can I convert my iPod from Windows to Mac?

    I've had an ipod for over a year now, and I have a ton of music on it. I am gonna be getting my first Mac computer soon, so I was wondering whether or not I can use my iPod on that computer without losing any of my songs? Thanks!

    The mac can read a windows formatted iPod (but not vice versa). However, its probably best mac-formatted. The easiest solution is to, on your pc, take all the songs off the nano and enable it for disk use. Then, put the song files on the iPod in my computer (like a HD). Then, upload the files from the iPod to the mac, download the iPod updater and restore the iPod. It will be mac-formatted.
    Great choice, getting a mac!

  • Transfer a Design Standard 5.5 License from Windows to Mac

    We have a dying windows machine that our graphic design employee has been using and has since moved to a Mac.  The problem is the license that I have won't work with the downloaded mac file.  It works on my windows 8 machine with the media but the media is windows only.  When I try it on the Mac it gives me a Not valid for this product error.  I didn't think the licenses were tied to Mac or Windows.  I would like to get the upgrade to 6 on the Mac but would like to see 5.5 working first.  Thanks

    Hi MSirotz,
    For a retail license you can either use it on a MAC machine or a Windows. The same serial number would not work on both the platforms as the serial numbers are OS specific. If you want to use the software on the MAC machine too then you have to purchase another retail license for MAC.
    If you wish to purchase an upgrade to MAC, please refer the policies stated in  the following KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l

  • I need HELP converting my iPod from Windows to Mac

    Anyone know how to do it??? Can I rip my music from my Windows iPod onto my Mac before reformatting my iPod to Mac?

    To format an iPod to a different OS tpye, all you ned to do is restore the iPod in iTunes : Restoring your iPod to factroy settings
    If your iPod is in Windows format, you can connect and sync it on a Mac computer, but you can't update the iPod's firmware unless it is formatted to a Mac, though.

  • How can I get my iTunes from windows to mac

    I just bought this macbook pro, which I love, but I don't want my iphone to erase during sync, how do I get my Itunes Windows stuff onto my Itunes Mac??

    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • Transfer Photoshop CS5 license from Windows to Mac OSX

    Hello,
    I have a Photoshop CS5 license for Windows which I used for the past 4 years, but recently I've switched to Mac OSX and I need to transfer my license. I understand that it is an old version so...
    Is it still possible or do I need to upgrade to CS6 first ? I don't wan't the CC version.
    Thanks for any help.

    Serial numbers for Creative Suites are Windows only or Mac only.
    There is a platform swap process but it only applies to CS6
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    The only way to do what you want is buy the upgrade version of CS6 for Mac.

  • How can I convert audio files from Windows Media player to WMV?

    I am unable to add a soundtrack if it is a WMA file.  What programs are best to convert files to WMV?

    If you are wishing to add the WMA soundtrack to a PrE Project, I would convert/rip the WMA to PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit, and then Import that WAV file into the PrE Project. Drag it to a free Audio Track. Though there is a Soundtrack Track, some users have had issues with it. Any free Audio Track, with the necessary channel-count is likely to work better.
    For the conversion/ripping, there are many programs that can do this for you. I use Adobe Audition, but the great, free Audacity can do it nicely, as well.
    As WMA can have aspets, like 6-channel Audio, wrapped in the WMA, I like doing the conversion, unless I need, say the 6 discrete channels in Audition, for output to DTS Audio with the SurCode DTS encoder program.
    Good luck,

  • 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.

  • How to convert adobe sw from Windows to MAC

    in 2010 I purchased Indesign CS4 V 6.0, Bridge CS4 V.6.0 and later PSE V.9.0 on to a windows platform. Now I need to convert these to a MAC platform?
    Best regards
    Morten

    To summarize, Adobe only allows this for current versions so you have two things going against you.
    1. You have an old version.
    2. There is no upgrade pricing
    Your choices are to buy a full CS6 license or move to Creative Cloud. Creative Cloud has the benefit of being crossplatform and your CS4 license qualifies you for intro pricing of $29.99/month for the first year.

  • Looking to migrate my license from windows to mac, Is there a roadmap to accomplish?

    Looking to migrate my Windows license to Mac. Hoping there is an easy way to accomplish?

    OK.  You'll need to Contact Customer Care
    USA - 1 (800) 833-6687
    Or use Live Chat and tell them you need a cross grade for CS6.  There are a few hurdles you must go through to get it.

  • Tranferring my ligthroom license from windows to mac

    Is it possible to move the license I have bought for windows to my new macbook?

    You don't want to think in terms of moving anything.  Just install the Mac version of Lightroom on the Mac and see if the serial number you have works to activate it.

  • Swapping license from windows to mac/upgrade?

    Purchased CS5 (WIn) Student and teacher edition. I have subsequently gone to university and use a Mac.
    Is it possible to swap the license to CS5 mac and download the software?
    If not, how much does it cost to upgrade to CS6 and is this available on DVD media?

    There are no upgrades with further S&T discounts. That being so, you would simply buy a CS6 version for Mac. There are no disks, just downloads these days (unless you buy a retail package with a code, but those get fewer every day as stock runs out).
