I have the CS5 Master Collection for Windows, but want to convert my license to a Mac.

I have the CS5 Master Collection for Windows, but want to convert my license to a Mac. I already have the CS5 Suite installed on the Mac. What do I need to do from here? I tried reading up a little bit on this and saw some people said in order to do this you would also need to upgrade your product version. Please tell me this is not the case, as that would be the dumbest and most frustrating customer service move ever to already faithful Adobe purchasers... 
Thanks for any help you can give!

Unfortunately, upgrading to CS6 or joining the Cloud are your only options.
Platform swapping (Win to Mac and vIce versa) is only available to CS6 owners.

  • I have Adobe CS5 Master Collection. Will this machine run it alright?

    So I am in the process of shopping for a new computer to run some adobe software on. I have the Cs5 Master Collection, but generally I will only be using certain programs, specifically Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, occasionally Flash and... Soundbooth too I guess because that’s what comes with the version I have.
    The link below contains the computer I "think" I am in love with right now for my purposes, but I can t be sure. I am not 100% certain. I would really appreciate it if someone could give a run through of the specs listed on the page. I will link adobes minimum requirements too. Even though I’m assuming some of the more tech minded people here have most of them memorized. Either way any and all help is appreciated.

    Could you do me a solid and give me your opinion on one more pc? Don't worry that it doesnt give much details about the screen resolution. I can always upgrade that if need be.

  • I have the CC Master Collection, I am experiencing bugs in version 18.1.0.

    I have the CC Master Collection, I am experiencing bugs in Illustrator version 18.1.0.
    It appears I do not have Illustrator CC2014.1 (can't tell since you don't list the version number anywhere!), but I can't seem to download it. I go to the download page from the link in this forum and nothing downloads, It just says it is downloading. I get the CC widget from my mac menu poping up, and it says all the Apps are up to date. I had a colleague who had a problem of CC saying CC Acrobat Pro was up to date when it clearly was not the current  X.x.x version, I am thinking this may be a problem here as well.  I really need to talk to someone I think, but there seems to be no way to get to a chat or live person. This seems like pretty bad service so far...
    The bugs I am seeing is I can  not set a line wight to less than 1 pt. and the items o move around seem to be snapping to a pixel sized (1/72 in) grid instead of where I actually move them. I have confirmed the snap to grid is off in the menu. I can also not set the key increment move meant to more than 2 decimal places. In CS6 I could go 3 decimal places.
    What the heck is going on, and doesn't recent purchase of the Adobe CC Master collection rate something more direct than a forum?
    Britt
    Just found the answer to some of my issues. The Alight to pixel grid command was on (what a painful feature to be on by default!) "When I select .25 line width, the line width defaults to 1 pt., how do I fix that?"
    Now if I could just confirm if I am current with the Program version...

    A creative Cloud membership provides you with the ability to have installations on different platforms, Windows and Mac.  And since you are allowed to have two working installations, you can have one of each.

    You're welcome.
    Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
    You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

  • Cannot install CS5 Master Collection in Windows 8 x64 Pro

    Hi
    I have recently performed a clean install of Windows 8 on my computer through the MSDNAA. However when I try to install CS5 Master Collection, the installer will not launch. I have tried a number of solutions for example running the setup in compatibility mode and running it as an administrator with no success. I would appreciate your help.

    Try running the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool (for Photoshop CS5)

    Then re-install Photoshop.

  • 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.

  • I have CS5 Master Collection for Win.  Can I upgrade to 5.5 for Mac?

    I currently have Master Collection 4 for Mac, and Master Collection 4 for Win.  I upgraded to CS5 for Win using my CS4 for Win license.
    Since it costs less to upgrade from CS5 to 5.5 and Adobe doesn't allow one license key to be flip-flopped between platforms , I am consolidating all my software and am choosing OS X.
    Is it possible to purchase the 5.5 upgrade to OS X by citing CS5 for Win?
    Thx!

    The other possibility...and you'd have to act very fast, is to do a platform swap now of CS5. The benefit there would be that you would get to legally have CS5 and CS5.5. If you wait and upgrade to 5.5 using the crossplatform upgrade, you'll need to destroy the old CS5 media and delete the software.
    Could come in handy especially for InDesign.

  • I have the Adobe Master Collection CS5.5 and I've upgraded to 6.0 version

    When working with the Adobe Tech support they never had me uninstall the CS5.5 version and it is taking up 9+ Gigs of memory.
    When can I uninstall the CS5.5 version? Please advise.  Thank You for your time.

    Thank You!  I just didn't want to uninstall something that woudl impact everything else...
    I have 580 GB.   Just trying to do a little house keeping to keep my system in tip top shape...
    Any other thoughts on what I can do for system clean up? (Already have Malwarebytes, PC Tools and Norton software for virus support).
    On a second thought to the uninstall.  There was issues encountered with Acrobat Adobe Professional.  It had major registry issues that were heck to fix by the Adobe Tech. 
    Would this be the reason they never had the CS5.5 version unintstalled?
