I bought creative suite cs5 for windows, but registered it for a mac. what can i use it on now?

it isnt accepting the serial number on a windows computer so does this mean i can use it on a mac? eventhough it is made for windows software?

I'm not really clear what you are trying to say. As Manish pointed out, registration has nothing to do with serialization and activation. However, serial numbers are platform specific. If you bought only recently and fall within return policies, then contact customer support, for everythin grefer to this document: Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap.

    You cannot install CS5.5 Windows onto your Mac.
    You must either purchase a new copy of CS6 for your Mac or join the Creative Cloud (and pay the monthly fee).
    If you join the Cloud you can then install CS6 (and soon version CC) on both your Mac and Windows for the same membership fee.

    The message is correct.  You can only register a product once... there is no need to register again after you do it the first time.  You can re-install and activate with the serial number, but there is no need to re-register.

  • I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again

    I have a CS3 for windows and I switched to a mac.  Can I get a mac version without having to pay for the suite again?

    No.
    Adobe only offers a Platform Swap on current software: Order product | Platform, language swap
    CS3 is also too old to have an "upgrade path" and is no longer sold or supported by Adobe.
    You do, as a CS3 owner, qualify for a 40% discount on your first year of a Creative Cloud Subscription though: Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    If you don't want to go with the subscription service, Adobe does still offer CS6 (4 versions away from current & no longer receiving updates) as a "one time payment/download" perpetual license: Creative Suite 6

    Hey Beata G,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you are unable to install the software update, you may need to plug the iPad Mini into a power source. If it is below a certain percentage in power it will require power to ensure that iPad Mini does not loose power when installing. If you still have issues the following article will walk you through that process and also if you want to update the iPad Mini through iTunes.

  • I have CS3 for Windows but want to switch to Mac, how would I go about this?

    I have CS3 Design Premium for Windows on an old laptop but want to switch it to my new Mac, how would I go about this?
    Do I have to pay for an upgrade to CS6, then somehow switch the license then download to my Mac? Also, I'm a student so it would be a student priced upgrade.

    You can either upgrade or move to Creative Cloud. But since you’re a student an upgrade does not exist so just pick the student version you want and go with that.

  • 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...

    BTW the platform swap is for current version of Adobe software only, if you have older version then you may have to look for Cross-platform upgrade.

  • Dvd for adobe creative suite 5.5 web premium has set-up.exe for windows, but how to install on macbook?

    Thank you

    You can't one way or the other. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps only apply to current  versions, meaning you have to upgrade to CS6 and make the switch.

    Change product platform or language
    You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product (CS6 only) if you follow the instructions at the following link:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l
    Alternative: If you wish to continue using the software on the Windows machine as well then your only recourse without buying again would be to install a Windows emulator on the Mac so that it has the rght environment to install in
