Can I install my complementary upgrade to CS6 on a Mac?

Greetings all, this has been my first time buying Adobe products so please bear with me.
I bought CS5.5 Design Standard Student Edition for Windows, and I have yet to install my complementary upgrade to CS6.
Now, last week I received a Mac as a graduation present.
I was wondering if it would be possible to have my complementary copy of CS6 crossgraded to my Mac, while also keeping CS5.5 on my Windows machine?
I guess another way to ask the question would be: Does my upgrade to CS6 replace my CS5.5 licence, or do I own both CS5.5 and CS6?
Its my hope to have Design Standard on both my machines, without having to join the Cloud, even if they are not the same version.
Thanks for your time!

Does my upgrade to CS6 replace my CS5.5 licence,
Exactly that. Upgrades are supposed to run on the same machines as the previous versions. You can't expand your empire by re-using the previous versions on different machines. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of discounted upgrade pricing, don't you think? If everyone did it, there would be no upgrades and we all would always pay full price. That aside, it won't work. That's what the activation takes care of. Adobe knows what you are doing, even more so after your required platform swap which will simply invalidate your Windows serials. Don't ever assume otehrwise. You agreed to all that when you accepted the EULA.

Generally this should work, but of course there may be occasional compatibility issues across the different programs and their different versions.

Can't install Flash Player upgrade

Can't install Flash Player upgrade on Windows 7 system. Get it downloaded and get message "an exception Runtime error has occured in script". Message says "new instance of MS Script Editor". Try to debug and get message "can not create application folder"
What do I do?

Hello,
I've seen another report of the installer throwing a script error, however, I've been unable to reproduce. Can you please do the following to provide a log file for further troubleshooting:
Download the installer from get.adobe.com/flashplayer and save it to the desktop
Launch the command prompt, click the Start orb and in the search field, type: cmd.exe
When the command prompt utility launches, drag the installer from the desktop onto the command prompt window hit space key and type /debug
It should look similar to (the actual file name may differ): C:\Users\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe /debug
Note there IS a space between the file name and the / and there is NO space between / and debug
If there are spaces in the directory path, the command needs to be encapsulated in quotes, for example: "C:\Documents and Settings\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe" /debug
Click Enter to proceed
A file named host.develop.log will be saved to the same location the installer was saved toYou may notice the the online installer file is missing. This is because it deletes itself once executed, so it will no longer be saved locally.
Post the contents of the host.develop.log file here in your response, or share the file following the How to share a document instructions.
Thank you in advance.

I have a CC subscription for Lightroom and purchased the upgrade for my standalone Ver. 5 to Ver. 6, but I can't install the standalone upgrade. Anyone have any idea how to do it?

Your initial post indicated that you had a CC subscription. That seems to imply that you have subscribed. If you hadn't already purchased Lightroom 6 I would suggest that you wait until you decide about CC. You really don't need both because the Lightroom program is precisely the same except for Lightroom 6 without the creative cloud has no Lightroom mobile capabilities. But I was only trying to help.

Hi chubb,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, certainly you can install it on both the systems. However, both should not be used at the same time.

Can I Install OS X 10.5 Leopard on my Mac?

I use a PowerPC G4 (QuickSilver 2002) computer. Can I install OS X 10.5 Leopard on my Mac?
* Processor: Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4
2 MB L3 cache per processor
* Memory: 1.5 GB SDRAM

It should work OK with 10.5.8 then.
If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...

can i install an entire Xp in my intel based mac mini?
no boot camp.
how to do that if impossible?

Hi Matthew!
Boot Camp will be the closest you'll come to your goal. A Mac is afterall intended to run Mac OS software first and foremost and Windows is only a secondary OS. But it is possible to boot into Windows after using Boot Camp to get it installed and then delete the Mac partition. You can always reinstall the Mac OS later.
Or you can still use Boot Camp to get Windows installed and just never boot back into Mac OS X (leaving it on its own partition). But why have Apple hardware just to do that? You'd be better off selling your Mac Mini and purchasing an Intel machine that will run Windows natively.
Hope this helps! bill

Can I install two different iPhoto applications on the same Mac?

Can I install two different iPhoto applications on the same Mac?

Please explain in more detail what you are wanting to do.
Do you want to have two different versions of iPhoto, have two different Libraries or Share iPhoto with multiple users?
Two different iPhoto versions (06 and 08, 08 and 09 for examples) is a problem and I say no because the older version can not use a Library that the newer version has modified.
For iPhoto support articles, see > Apple - Support - Mac Apps - iPhoto
To Share a Library with other users, see > iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
To Move a Library, see > iPhoto '11: Move your iPhoto library to a new location

Can I install the LR4 upgrade and still keep my LR3 installed?

I have LR 3 and I would like to upgrade to LR 4. Can I install the upgrade to LR 4 and still keep my LR 3 installation intact so that I can switch back and forth between the two versions if I want to?

Agreeing with R Owens, and adding ...
If you go back and forth between LR3 and LR4, neither program will know about the changes you make in the other program. This could lead to confusion either on the part of the software or on the part of the user.
If you just want to edit using the LR3 interface, you can do that in LR4 by changing the process version to 2010 (that's what the LR3 interface is called) in the develop module.

You can install CS5 directly on your computer. You will be asked to enter an eligible serial number during the installation process. This is when you will want to enter the CS2 serial number.
