PC to Mac Adobe Creative Suite transfer

I have the Adobe Creative Suite installed on my PC which has crashed and I'm hoping to transfer my license to my new Mac if this is feasible? I am hoping so! Thank you!

Hi Cearle,
             I am so sorry to inform this, Creative Suite is platform specific, you cannot install pc software on mac. It will not work.
             HOwever,
             If it's the current version software CS6 photoshop,
                      In case if it's purchased within 30 days, return the product and purchase the correct platform software.
            Or if it's more then 30 days, contact adobe customer service at [ https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html ] and they will cancel your PC serial number and provide a new Mac serial number, with which you can install the software on two systems.
Thank you.

How to install Mac ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE 4 from DVD on OS Window 7

Cannot be done.
Creative Suite 4 is a single platform license: Mac only (in your case) or Windows only.
You must either
purchase a new full version of CS6 for Windows, or
purchase a "Crossgrade" from CS4 Mac to CS6 Windows, or

Transfer ADOBE creative Suite from an old Mac to a new Mac, I have the code but I don't have a CD. What are the correct steps?

Hi
I bought a new Mac and I want to transfer my Adobe Creative Suit CS6 to it from my old one. What are the correct steps? Please note that I don't have a CD because I downloaded it via the net. It was an upgrade for the student edition. I heard something about deactivation and reactivation but I don't want to do something wrong then lose my precious software. Please help. Thanks.

You can download the software and install it using the page linked below.
CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, so there should be no reason to deactivate it on your other machine, or at least you can wait until you see it loaded and working on the new one.

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 transfer license from mac to windows

Hello,
In 2011, I bought a license 'adobe Creative Suite 5.5' (students) for a mac.
My Macbook crashed again and I want to switch to a PC.
Is it possible to switch my license from mac to windows?
Thanks

No. that only applies to "current" versions, meaning CS6. You will have to buy the commercial CS6 upgrade and make the switch or just buy a new license if you are still eligible for S&T pricing.

Can I download Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium on a new Mac if I've had it installed on my old one since December 2011? I have the product key and serial number.

I bought a new Macbook Pro 13 inch in December 2011 and I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium shortly after and installed it on the computer. The other day my friend spilled his drink on my computer and it is now going to cost me $800 to get it fixed so I am considering getting a new one instead of getting mine fixed I'm not sure if the memory is still ok or not either. It didn't get that wet and Apple told me it is more than likely ok but there is no guarantee that they are going to keep the memory when they fix it. So I was wondering if I get a new one if I can install the Suite on the new one I still have the product key and serial number for the Suite. Or if I decide to get mine fixed and the memory is swept, then can I reinstall it on mine after it is fixed? If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank You

deactivate your installation on your old computer (help>deactivate).

How do I install Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium (Mac Version)?

Hi,
I've just received the ADobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium Student teacher edition. My student ID was validated when I was ordering it so that I wouldn't have to register it when it arrived. I'm new to the Mac and when I put the disk in nothing comes up to prompt the intallation. I saw instructions to open up application folder but I couldn't see the "install app." prompt. I have the serial number needed but don't know how to install and activate it. I hope you can help!

There is no autoplay on Mac OS. You will want to double click on the DVD and then launch the Setup or Install program. It should be at the root level on your DVD.

I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 "Design Premium" for Mac. Was Adobe Acrobat included?

Hi,
I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 "Design Premium" for Mac. It was purchased and downloaded ~Nov 2010. However, it appears that I never downloaded Adobe Acrobat, which looks like it's on a separate disk. Long story ... but am only starting to use this software now after 2 years! Anyhow, I'm wondering if I can safely download this disk at this point? Also, I see that there is a number of updates which I should be installing, so wondering if I should hold off on those until after Acobat is downloaded? I did get a serial number from the install of the the other Adobe software included in Creative Suite 5.
Many Thanks,
Janice

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium won't launch on Mac

I use 13 inch MacBook Air. I downloaded Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium from my college. It has Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Illustrator CS5. But only Flsh and Dreamweaver launch when I click them. When I click Photoshop and Illustrator, nothing happends.
I tried uninstalling them and reinstalled but still not launching. I updated mac to mavericks and installed the java update but still nothing happens when I click them. Also Acrobat Pro I downloaded from my college doesn't launch either.
Let me know if you need any more information about my device.
Thank you for your help.

illustrator cs5 has been reported as incompatible, ps cs5 compatible and i can't tell which acrobat pro version you're trying to use.
in any case, here's a user-based mac compatibility table:

Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium on Mac

I am about to purchase the current MacBook Pro: 13" 2.4 GHz
Everything in it will be standard.
In the Minimum requirements for Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium it says I need a mac with 7200 RPM hard drive for editing compressed video formats; RAID 0 for uncompressed.
The Standard MacBook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz has a 250GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm Drive.
There isn't an upgrade that I can see to get a 7200 RPM drive.
Will the program work on this MacBook? Will the software just run slow? What is RAID 0?
Hope somebody can help.
Thanks

I agree with sig. It doesn't make any sense to buy a bottom-of-the-line MBP to run one of the most demanding software packages in existence, particularly if your emphasis will be on video. You'll want a 15" i5 or i7 MBP with 8GB of RAM, one or more large 7200RPM FireWire 800 external hard drives, and a high-resolution external monitor for that.

Note: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard & Adobe Creative Suite CS2

Hello,
here is an important note for Apple & Adobe business users who are using the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 package for their daily workflow.
http://www.adobe.com/go/leopardfaq
<--- quote from Adobe --->
Question: Will older versions of Adobe creative software—such as Creative Suite 2 and Macromedia Studio 8 software—support Mac OS X Leopard?
Answer (Adobe): While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Leopard. ...
<--- Quote from Adobe --->
In clear words. If an application of the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 package does not work properly under Mac OS X Leopard, you might notice several issues such as bugs, crashes and other incompatibility problems.
So, in the end this means:
" Dear Apple & Adobe user. Use Mac OS X 10.5 on your own risk. "
graphically & sincerely,
" Innovation is good. Too much innovation in a short period of time is becoming counterproductive. "

Thanks Tony, this helped me get some functionality out of InDesign CS2. However, is there a way to get it to keep all the palette options?

i bought adobe creative suite premium actual cds, with serial yet when i put its serial in to redeem it and download it onto my new mac through your adobe site it says on your site it says my serial is invalid, when my serial is not, it is clear you adobe advertise you can use your old software on new apple computers but clearly this is not the case; forcing me and all to shell out vast amours of money just to use your products i have already bought????.......i will never buy your product again!!!!

Your post makes no sense to anyone. you have not provided proper technical information or version information. rather than going off on a tangent, you may want to read this:

Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later

Would my I-Mac be able to handle Adobe Creative Suite?

I was looking to get Adobe Creative Suite 3 (web design-standard) to start learning some website developement. I listed the system requirements below. My concern is the first two. Like I mentioned I have an I-Mac with the Intel based duo core processor. I am assuming that requirement is satisfied based on the statement "or mulicore Intel processor." My second concern is the operating system. I am currently still running Tiger as I have heard some not so good things about people upgrading to Leopard. Would this be an issue? Any advise and/or direction is much appreciated. Thanks.
Macintosh
PowerPC® G4 or G5 or multicore Intel® processor
Mac OS X v10.4.8-10.5 (Leopard)
Java™ Runtime Environment 1.5 required for Adobe Version Cue® CS3 Server
1GB of RAM
4.5GB of available hard-disk space (additional free space required during installation)
1,024x768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card
DVD-ROM drive
QuickTime 7.1.2 software required for multimedia features
Internet or phone connection required for product activation
Broadband Internet connection required for Adobe Stock Photos* and other services

Very short answer: YES
Longer answer:
1. Make sure you have the maximum RAM supported. 3 or 4 GB depending upon the iMac model.
2. Personal experience says Adobe Creative Suite runs fine on all recent (since mid 2006) iMacs.
3. Upgrade to Leopard. Worth it.
4. Our small business runs CS3 on a 2.16GHz iMac and a 2.8GHz iMac.
