Cross-Platform Adobe Creative Suite 4 For Mac From Windows

Hello,
I am having quite a unusual problem. The problem is that I have a copy of Adobe Creative Suite from my company that is meant for Windows, and it will not install on a mac. Does anyone know of a way to install a windows native Adobe Suite on a Mac platform? I have tried using a emulator called wine, but every time I get into the setup when the system is checking compatibility the entire thing is halted. I do not have access to any windows machine, and installing a Virtual Machine is out of the question. I also considered swapping the windows version of the software with the Adobe company, but then I would have to destroy the disk of my company. Any help on installing Adobe creative suite 4 meant for a Windows platform on a mac? Emulation etc?
Thanks

installing a Virtual Machine is out of the question
Why?
Try CrossOver Mac from codeweavers.com
Otherwise, your only option is to use install Windows via Boot Camp.

    No, CS2 does not qualify for a platform swap.  Only the most recent version (CS6) qualifies.

  • Is adobe creative suite version1 compatible with windows 7

    is adobe creative suite version1 compatible with windows 7

    Unfortunately, while I imagine it could be made to run on Windows 7, you simply won't be able to activate it on the new system because Adobe has taken the activation servers offline.
    For a while Adobe published a version of CS2 with a special no-activation serial number, specifically for folks who have run afoul of the activation server problem, and at first it included users of CS and CS2.  Unfortunately, the language of that page has changed to make it clear that only licensed users of CS2 may take advantage of the download.
    You can judge for yourself here:

  • Adobe Creative Suites for PC... and Mac?

    I have 2005 edition of Adobe Creative Suite and it was purchased at the time for my work computer, which is PC. I really like to work at home now and made the conversion to iMac 10 mos ago. Didn't have the moolah to buy a whole new set of software as it is pretty $$$. Still struggling in the Mac world and studying these forums, am I reading correctly that newer macs can read all software?
    Can I load my Adobe Photoshop CS and the rest of the suites on this???
    Please tell me there is a way!!!

    You'll need to get Virtual PC to run Windows in your Mac and through them run CS. About Virtual PC look here:http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/virtualpc/virtualpc.aspx?pid=virtualpc and use the search box of the Forum (there's plenty of information).However you won't get equal performance...
    PS: I once asked Adobe to "switch" my license from PC to Mac and they said they couldn't.From what I understand this is the same everywhere.I wish it would change...

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5 / Upgrade System Windows Vista to Windows 7

    Dear customer service,
    I am a customer of Adobe as I bought two years ago the Adobe Creative Suite 5.
    My system is still Windows Vista. Now I wanna buy the Microsoft Home Office 2013 and now I have to upgrade from
    Windows Vista to Windows 7.
    My question is if there will be any problem with the Adobe Creative Suite 5? Or can I only put in the upgrade CD,
    leave the Creative Suite on my pc and have nothing else to do than just installing?
    Thank you for your reply.
    With best regards,
    Nicole

    Correct. You only need to run the CS5 installer and have to provide the pertinent serial numbers in the process. Just make sure you run Help --> Deactivate bevor nuking your Vista install and reformatting your drive. If there are issues during the install, ask in the Download, Install & Setup forum.

    does it mean I can install on both systems or my license is only valid for 1?
    Thank you

    Yes, LR is cross-platform and you can install it on both systems.

  • Creative Suite For Mac

    Hi
    Sorry if this post isn't on correct place and sorry for my poor english. I bought Creative Suit Pack for plantform Win but now I am going to buy a Mac. Is it possible to change my Creative Suit Pack for plantform Mac if I have one serial key of this product? How I do? Can I downloads again the same Creative Suit or Can I downloads trial for mac version and to introduce the same seria key? Thank for all.

    If you have CS6 then you can call Adobe and request a platform swap. If you have CS5/5.5 you can buy a cross platform upgrade to CS6 or move to Creative Cloud. If you have anything earlier than CS5 then you'll need to buy a new full price license. If you have CS3 or later you qualify for upgrade pricing to Creative Cloud.
    Creative Cloud details here:http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html

  • How do you transfer your adobe creative suite cs5.5 from one laptop to another. I bought downloadable files from the Adobe website; I did not own physical cds.

    I bought a downloadable file when I bought Creative Suite CS5.5 for my laptop, which has now become slow and laggy. So I bought a new laptop and have downloaded trial versions of CS5.5 on to it, as suggested by information online, only to type in my serial number and it tells me that it's unvalid. I'm a college student and spent a lot of money to have this compliation of programs, and I do not have the money to invest into CS6 quite yet, as my needs are met with the previous version.
    Is there any way to transfer the creative suite from one computer to another, as I've tried many and have been unsuccessful.

    No, transferring between machines does not work.  You need to install using installation files.  You can download thru the following and use your serial number to activate...

If yes were can I download these two packages as a registered Adobe Creative Cloud student - the newest version unfortunately I can not download on my iMac.

    you might be able to use cs6 apps with your cc subscription.
    but it would be better if you upgraded you os (it's free), Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks. (though i realize you may not be able to do that).

    yes, you can download a software trial and use the serial number that came with your cd to activate the trial software to unlimited use.

  • Using Adobe Creative Suite for content management

    I am trying to find out if Adobe CS3 can be used to perform web site content management functions. In particular, I need to know if web page publication dates can be controlled, i.e. is it possible to specify a future date for publication of a specific page? I think Contribute can do this when posting to a blog but it's not clear if web pages can be managed in this way as well. Any help gratefully received....

    If it can be done, it would be in Dreamweaver CS3, so you should pose your question in the Dreamweaver Forum.

  • Library content missing for Adobe  Creative Suite - for Premiere Pro and Encore. Use CS6 content?

    Can I use CS6 download and installer and apply it to my CS5 programs?
    Thank you!

    The basic content is an installer, so I want to say "no."t But I don't know what it actually would do if CS6 is not installed. But the CS6 functional content installer (for PR and EN) REMOVES the CS5.5 Encore library. Go figure.
    This was true some time ago, and I have not heard it was fixed.
    If would try the process and see if the content can be uncompressed. In the end, it is just content in folders.
    For the Encore full library templates and buttons etc, you can just expand the compressed file and use it in CS5.
