Change from PC to mac, new serial number needed?

I installed cs6 on my pc and recently bought a new mac. I tried installing on the mac, but its telling me the serial number is invalid. I know pc and macs need different serial numbers, but my account only provides one serial number, the one I used on to install on my PC. How do I get another serial number for my mac?

They also need different versions of the software.
You would have to buy a new serial number (and version) if you wish to use CS6 on both the PC and the Mac.  You can swap to having the Mac version but that will leave you without the PC being able to run the software.

The Creative Cloud is the only offering available that supports both platforms with the same subscription.

  • Moving from PC to Mac - The Serial Number you entered is invalid

    I have been using Photoshop Extended CS6 for about 8 months and the serial number worked okay.
    Now I've just bought an iMac and downloaded the Mac version of Photoshop Extended CS6 but the serial number is now showing as invalid.
    Please don't tell me I have to buy it again!!
    Hope someone can help me.

    Serial numbers and Creative Suite versions are specific to operating systems, meaning your PC serial number will not work for a Mac.  HEre is a link regarding what you can do to swap platforms....

  • Do I need a new serial number to move css5 to mac?

    I changed to a Mac From Windows. I tried to install on mac but the serial number is not correct for the product. Do I need a new serial number?

    Frmontoy1 please be aware that it is not possible to request a platform swap for Creative Suite 5.  Platform swaps can only be requested for the current version of an Adobe Creative Software title.
    If you wish to use Adobe Creative software on Mac OS then I would recommend either upgrading to Creative Suite 6 or obtaining a Creative Cloud membership.  You can purchase an upgrade for Creative Suite 6 at https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_ creativesuite6.html.
    You can also currently qualify for a special price on a Creative Cloud membership since you own Creative Suite 5.  You can find more details https://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/buying-guide.html.  Please also be aware that a Creative Cloud or point product subscription will allow you to install the Adobe Creative software on both Mac OS and Windows.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional won't install with new serial number from Adobe

    Having replaced my PC I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional but I was unable to activate registration as it had already been registered and is an 'old product'.  I have contacted the Adobe on-line advisor and was given a new serial number and a file to download. 
    The set-up wizard will not complete even though I type in the new number accurately and each time I've had to abort installation as it says it can't be verified.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or explain what I might be doing wrong please?
    Thank you

    Thank you Bill for replying.
    I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting.  Activation fails each time I've tried.  As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice.  They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it.  I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
    I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
    I'll now follow the link you've given me.   Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

  • Can you get a new serial number for Logic Studio?

    so i just bought Logic Studio from a friend and i successfully installed it onto my mid 2012 13-inch MacBook Pro (entry level). Problem is that after the software was installed, i opened one of the applications that came with the bundle (Logic Pro) and it requested me to enter my serial number. I typed the right one and it didnt let me in. I tried to do that with all the other applications that came with Logic Studio but none of the apps let me in even though i tried more than a bunch of times.
    So my question is: can you get a NEW serial number?
    if not, then is there another solution that wont require me to download hack files?
    Thanks.

  • Can i get a new serial number for Adobe CS6 Design Standard for Students and Teachers?

    I have had to re-install my Adobe CS6 Design Standard for students and teachers after having problems with my computer (MacBook Pro)
    I am wondering if there is a way to access my old serial number from when I originally installed CS6, or do I have to start over again and get a new serial number?
    Help is greatly appreciated!!

    You normally use the same serial number that you are first issued.  If you registered your product when you first installed it then you should be able to find your setial number available thru your Adobe account online.

  • When I put in my new serial number I get a red cross

    When I put in my new serial number (after approval from adobe) I get a red cross

    I think you better check with Customer Service, make sure that they are all numbers rather than having any letters. 0 the number can look like O the letter.

  • My Mac PRO (serial number  edited by host )has installed OS X Lion 10.7.5. Can I update it to OS Mountain Lion to work Airplay with apple TV?

    My Mac PRO (serial number    <edited by host>) has installed OS X Lion 10.7.5. Can I update it to OS Mountain Lion to work Airplay with apple TV?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The serial number doesn't tell us anything. Open  > About this Mac > More Info, and tell us the first two lines of the window, where you should see MacBook Pro and a line below, which indicates the model you have:
    That's what I see on my Mac. AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so if you see Early 2011 MacBook Pro or newer in that line, you can use AirPlay Mirroring. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    If you want to upgrade, make a backup of your files and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Then, open the Mac App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps. After upgrading, you will see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar.
    If you don't want to upgrade, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot

  • Back.  How do put the new serial number on my itunes?

    My ipod nano was recalled and chances are I will not get my original one back.  How do I put the new serial number on my itunes so my computer will recognize the new (refurbished) one?

    I'm not sure that you need to. iTunes will read the serial number from the new iPod when you hook it up. If you aren't talking about the iPod serial number, but instead talking about the iTunes user ID and password, keep using what you have.

  • Dose the serial number need to be changed and how when selling Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

    Dose the serial number need to be changed and how when selling Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

    No, the serial number goes with the product. You should deactivate all your installed copies before selling it. Also, if you've used it qualify for upgrade pricing on a later version you can't sell it. Well, you could but the new owner won't be able to install it.
    Adobe does have a license transfer document, but not many people bother with it:

  • How to install a new ipod with new serial number

    I have recieved a new ipod with a new serial number. i lost my old cd which installs the ipod onto the comp with the new serial number ect. and ofcourse ints not enough to just have the new ipod updater and itunes. HOW do i install the ipod? anybody? how do i get that program?
    Thanx

    good lord ... the 0x80040707 can sometimes be
    caused by uninstalling software from a different user
    account from which it was originally installed, or
    installing a higher version of the software in a
    different user account. (haven't seen a report
    strongly suggesting this was going on for a while
    with an ipod updater install, but it's been reported
    every now and then.)
    Just so you know, nothing was done with the original installation, on the original user's account (let's call it UserA. My account, UserB was already in existence when all the software was originally installed to the root directory in C:\programs. Both accounts are administrators. This is getting so frustrating that I think I'll bring my external drive that has all the stuff I want to put onto the Ipod, do it in the office, and that will be that!
