Is it possible to use a serial key from Creative suite from a Mac on a PC?

I'm going to hopefully get CS6 for mac, but it's not my mac and when I get my own computer it will probably be Windows. Can I use the serial key from the Mac version on a Windows version?

Adobe currently licenses the Creative Suite for Mac or Windows not for both, however you can change your license from Mac to Windows or Windows to Mac by contacting support.
Adobe calls this "crossgrading", check out the FAQ page here which will give you guidance on how to go about changing platform when you get your windows machine http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l
Worth noting that while you will be able to transfer your license from the Mac to the PC you will no longer be able to use the software on the Mac as a result.

Download using a product key from a purchased product from the store.

I purchased the Adobe elements to use on my desktop. I downloaded it and it is installed however I just purchased MacBook Air and I want to install the program onto this computer. This computer does not have a disk drive. I was told that I should be able to download most programs an use the product key from the box however I do not see that option for the Adobe Elements. I downloaded the trial version in hopes of being able to convert it using my product key. Does anyone have any words of wisdom that will help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Serialnumbers of Elements 11 (PSE/PRE) are platform independent and support upto 2 activations per serial number.
So, if you're using the license on your desktop (win), you can still use the same serial key on your mac machine. Please install the trial version and on launch you'd get a prompt to enter your serial number or continue in trial. Please provide your serial number there and complete the wizrds by clicking next and here you go, your elements product on mac is licensed too.
thanks

We just downloaded the Creative Suite 6 onto our computer, but it says that the serial number is incorrect. Do we use our serial number from CS5.5 because that didn't work?

Click the Buy link for the Suite you want to upgrade to.
I want to buy: <select Upgrade>
I own: <select the CS5.5 product you already own>
Platform: <select Mac or Windows>

Hi, i purchased and downloaded the lr6 desktop app (update), and used my serial number from the email from adobe but it said it was only eligible for lr5. thanks, rich

hi, i purchased and downloaded the lr6 desktop app (updating from lr5, paid 80. for the update), and used my serial number from the email from adobe sentbut it said it was only eligible for lr5. thanks, rich

If you purchased an upgrade from LR5 to LR6 then after you enter your LR6 serial number, you will need to enter your LR5 serial number, unless LR6 finds LR5 on the computer. This also assumes that you've purchased the perpetual license of both LR5 and LR6, not a cloud license for LR5 which doesn't use a serial number for licensing. If entering a LR6 then LR5 serial number into LR6's serial-number area isn't working, then is there something special about the LR5 that would make it ineligible for an upgrade?

Hello. Can I install a Final Cut Studio 3 Upgrade package using a serial number from an old Final Cut Studio 1 package?

I would like to install Final Cut Studio 7 on my Macbook Pro (2012).
I may be able to get an upgrade package, which will mean I need a previous version of Final Cut Studio to install it. I have an old Macbook with Final Cut Studio 1 on it. Could I use the serial number from that version of Final Cut Studio to activate the new upgrade on a new computer?
Thanks,
Mark

Thank you Jim.

Upsells are completely independent of any specific requirements, which is the whole point.

Is it possible to get the serial number from external C++ code?

Hi,
I have a C++ library called by a CLF in the LabVIEW RT from my cRIO. I am trying to use the cRIO serial number in my C++ code for licensing purposes. Is it possible to get the cRIO serial number using the C++ API?
I found information on how to do this from LabVIEW itself (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/74924FEE303440998625727D005197FA), but it would be really helpful to be able to do it from the C++ code.
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Hi mkossmann,
Thanks for your suggestion. I have never used the VISA library from C++ or from LabVIEW, actually. I'm a newbie using NI hardware so sorry if the questions are too basic.
Is there documentation on the VISA library? I have found the DLLs on my windows machine, but I don't find any other documentation.
Thanks,
Sara

I want to obtain my serial number for Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium. I have the product code but have lost other documentation.

A few months ago i was in the same position, having to re-install Creative Suite on a new laptop. For some reason it was very easy, but I can't remember how it was done. I don't want to have to contact my institution for proof of status again, and wait several days to get a response. I am on a deadline for something before then. Any advice gratefully received.

then record your serial number.
if you registered with adobe, log into your account, https://www.adobe.com/account.html
if it's currently installed on a pc you can use belarc advisor to retrieve it.

IMessage: Is there anyway for me to imessage using my phone number from my Mac?

Whenever I imessage from my Mac, it shows up on the recipiant's device as my appleID, and when I contact the same person using my iPhone, the message shows up as my phone number. The ending result is two threads of the conversation on the recipeiant's end. I am wondering, with the new update, is it possible to use only my phone number for an imessage on my Mac and not my email address?

Nope I've been wondering that myself, but I'm afraid messages sent from your Mac will only show up as your apple ID email, while messages sent from your iPhone use a SIM card therefore will show up as digits. Think it just works that way, sorry!

Sending a connection key from a Mac to a PC

It is very easy to send a connection key, but when I send one to PC from a MAC, I get this error "This connection key is only compatible with the Macintosh version of Contribute.".
Does anyone have suggestions on why this happening?

The network path is the location of the website in your organization’s local network. The network path includes the name of the server on which the website is stored and the directory path of the website’s files on that server.
For example, your network path might be \\mycomputer\wwwroot\ (Windows) or afp://server:volume: (Mac OS).
Note: If you are a Mac user, to create a LAN connection, make sure to mount the network volume of the server you are creating a connection to on your computer desktop before you create your connection. In the Finder, select Go > Connect to Server to mount the network to which you want to connect.
Hope this answers.

Finding serial number for Creative Suite 6

I migrated by stuff from a Mac Mini to a Mac Pro but then couldnt open InDesign CS6. Problem is I have the box for the 6 upgrade but not the disc. The only serial number I have is on the CS5 discs. I go to my account and can see that Ipurchased the upgrade on June 5 2012. I even have the invoice. But I cant get through to either talk or online chat to someone.

Nobody here can help with this. You need to contact Adobe.
