Can I install my Mac Creative Suite on a pc?

I heard you can install adobe software up to 2 computers as long as one is not in use.
I was also told this can be done using something called a Cross Platform System Ugrade but the chat support individual who helped me got disconnected from our conversation so I dont know what the Cross Platform System is or how to get it.  Help please!
I have Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard

You have been misinformed. You cannot use standalone products on both platforms. It's always and "either..., or...". Only Creative Cloud or certain volume licenses include cross-platform usage. Platform switching is only for current versions. read here:

  • Can I install the same Creative Suite in my laptop too, when I already have it installed in my PC?

    I have installed CS6 in my PC and registered the product with Adobe. I was doing fine untill my client wanted me to carry my laptop to a meeting to show them designs and make changes real time. I wanted to install the same pack in my laptop, though I dont intend to use both the machines together, thought I should give it a try and use them one at a time. But its not installing the essential softwares (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) and says it already has some other location.
    My question is can I install/use the same suite in both machines and use one at a time?

    Yes, you can do so.
    But its not installing the essential softwares (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) and says it already has some other location.
    When you say not installing the essential softwares, what exactly your mean? Apart from these 3 applications, all other installed fine. Do you get any error message?
    Please ellaborate the exact issue with application and operating system details.

  • Can't install Illustrator from Creative Suite (serial number not recognized)

    Years ago, I bought the first Creative Suite (upgrade). Illustrator was working fine on my old computer. Since then, I've upgraded Photoshop and Dreamweaver individually (I didn't upgrade Creative Suite).
    Now I need to install Illustrator on my new computer, but the installation fails:
    (1) I tried to install Illustrator separately (from the Illustrator setup.exe file on the disks) and I input the only serial number I have (which is for Creative Suite) and get a "this isn't an Illustrator serial number".
    (2) I tried to install Creative Suite but it prompts me for the location of Photoshop ... an OLDER version of Photoshop. I've got Photoshop CS5, but the installation correctly says that isn't an earlier version.
    I believe I purchased my first Photoshop in 1997-ish. Do I really have to start from the beginning and install EVERY VERSION of Photoshop that I ever bought/upgraded in order to install Illustrator from the CS upgrade disk?
    I tried looking for an Adobe phone number, but no joy.

    > Which versions of which software do you have exactly?
    Have, or installed?
    I have Photoshop LE, Photoshop 4.1 (I think it was -- the first version with layers), Photoshop 5.5, Photoshop 6, Creative Suite, Photoshop CS2, and Photoshop CS5.
    After I purchased Creative Suite, I just wanted to upgrade the individual programs rather than the whole Creative Suite. However, I believe I purchased upgrades all along the way.
    For Dreamweaver (though not the issue here), I started with the Macromedia programs, so the upgrade line started 'way back at Macromedia (and the installation of Adobe DW upgrades requires live tech support; unfortunately, as I can no longer find a phone number for Adobe, I guess I'd better hope nothing ever happens).
    Anyway, does that help? You can see why I don't want to reinstall all those versions just to install Illustrator.
    (And thanks for your help.)

  • How can I re-install my Adobe Creative Suite 6? Installation was idle when installing AdobeHelp

    I've problem re-install my Creative Suite 6 Master Collection for almost all applications. Installation was idle/stop when installing AdobeHelp, I've already tried to let the installation process ran for almost 24 hours, but it's still idle, so I cancelled the installation.
    I've tried several times, and the result is still the same. It's idle when installing Adobehelp
    And there is no feature/option in the installation menu to not installed Adobehelp.
    Before re-install, I've used AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool, because I can't installed adobe illustration that I've not installed yet before and the installation crashed.
    So I follow the instruction till I get suggestion to download AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool. and I ran it and choose all cleaning.
    Now I still have problem to re-install my Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection.

    System information:
    Laptop Dell Vostro 14", Intel Pentium i5, Ram 4GB
    OS Windows 7 Home Basic
    Is that enough? do you need more information?
    what kind of information?

  • Can't install on mac os 10.9.2

    Why can't I install the adobe creative suite 2 on my new mac os 10.9.2?

    CS2 I believe is PPC based so will not work on Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Either you will need to update to a later version or reinstall Snow Leopard.
