Can I use Photoshop on both my windows and Mac PC's

I purchased Photoshop CS5 in May for my Windows PC.  I also want to install it on my Mac, However the download they provided me with doesn't have a Mac version.  Can I get Adobe to provide me with a cost free Mac version?
I bought Lightroom 3 and was able to get both versions and have it running on both PCs...want to do this with CS5...

You are confusing hardware and operating systems.
If you are running the Windows OS on Mac hardware, you are running Windows.

Yes. That will work fine.

  • Can I run Photoshop Elements 11 on Windows and Mac OS?

    I have photoshop elements 11 for windows, but I want to buy an Imac. Is it possibel to get a free version for the Imac?

    Photoshop Elements comes in both versions for the same license.  So you just need to acquire the Mac version and install using your serial number to activate it.  You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

  • Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time.

    Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time as either a backup for one and a seperate HD drive for two?

    Yes.
    From one viewpoint the Time Capsule is just NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and it supports the file sharing protocols necessary for both Windows and Macs.
    From the viewpoint of the Macs it can also be used by Time Machine for backups.
    As NAS it can be used for storing files, and there are many backup software packages that support NAS on both Windows and Macs.
    In addition from a networking point of view it can serve as a router, wireless access point etc.

  • Can I access both platforms, window and mac with one cloud account

    can I access both platforms, window and mac with one cloud account

    Yes.
    One Cloud membership = 2 software activations: Win/Win or Mac/Mac or Win/Mac.

    "Are there any unique benefits that come with my paid membership?
    Yes, as a member of Creative Cloud, you get many benefits that you do not get when you purchase a traditional shrinkwrapped product:
    Access to both the Mac OS and Windows® versions of the desktop applications and the ability to install them on your primary computer and one backup computer. So, if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, you can install your applications on both as long as they are not running at the same time.

  • Can I use Photoshop on both my computers? [was:Using the Software]

    I want to use Photoshop on both my computers, is that possible?

    Hi,
    Dietanne50
    According to EULA you are allowed  to use photoshop on  two computers (for instance, a home computer and a work computer, or a desktop and a laptop), as long as it's not being used on both computers at the same.

  • Can I have my registered CS6 software installed on both a windows and mac simultaneously?

    How many computers can I have my registered CS6 software simultaneously installed on? If it is just one computer and I wish to install it on another one, I assume I need to uninstall on the original first and simply repeat the installation process?
    One more question: Since the software came with two installation discs, (windows and mac), does that mean I can simultaneously use the software on a windows computer and mac computer?
    Thank you.

    Not sure what you are saying. You can install and activate on 2 systems, but generally standalone installs have platform-specific serials and can only be installed eitehr on Windows or Mac, not both. However, your description seems to indicate a TLP volume license, so that would be possible.

  • Can I have a Single Licence for Windows and Mac?

    I have PS CS4 for Windows installed on my desktop computer. I have recently bought a MacBook Pro. Can I install PS on my new laptop using my Windows licence or must I buy another licence.

    If you have a windows clone software installed, then it should be fine. But if you want the mac version of photoshop, then normally you would buy the CS4 photoshop for Mac as the CD version comes with only 1 license for 1 platform.
    However, since CS4 is not the current version you could subscribe to the cloud and that license is for Windows and Mac.

  • Using iPod both in Windows and Mac at the same Time?

    I was wondering if it was possible to use my brand new ipod both in Mac as in Windows without having to format or restore it every time?
    The idea is to use "manually manage songs" on both Operating Systems.
    Thanks for your help!

    iPods come formatted Windows and will work on Macs and Windows. Unless you Restore it in a Mac, it will stay formatted Windows.
    If it doesn't work, put the iPod on Disk Mode and iTunes should recognize in both systems.
    If it is formatted Mac, it will not be useable on Windows, even in Disk Mode.

  • With my subscription, can I use it on both a PC and a Mac?

    I currently work on a PC and I'm considering switching to a Mac. When/If I do, I foresee having to work in both environments for awhile.

    Yes.
    From the Creative Cloud FAQ here http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html under the section Purchasing and getting started:
    On how many computers can I install the software I download from Creative Cloud?
    You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both.
