Transfer a Design Standard 5.5 License from Windows to Mac

We have a dying windows machine that our graphic design employee has been using and has since moved to a Mac.  The problem is the license that I have won't work with the downloaded mac file.  It works on my windows 8 machine with the media but the media is windows only.  When I try it on the Mac it gives me a Not valid for this product error.  I didn't think the licenses were tied to Mac or Windows.  I would like to get the upgrade to 6 on the Mac but would like to see 5.5 working first.  Thanks

Hi MSirotz,
For a retail license you can either use it on a MAC machine or a Windows. The same serial number would not work on both the platforms as the serial numbers are OS specific. If you want to use the software on the MAC machine too then you have to purchase another retail license for MAC.
If you wish to purchase an upgrade to MAC, please refer the policies stated in  the following KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l

  • Transfer Photoshop CS5 license from Windows to Mac OSX

    Hello,
    I have a Photoshop CS5 license for Windows which I used for the past 4 years, but recently I've switched to Mac OSX and I need to transfer my license. I understand that it is an old version so...
    Is it still possible or do I need to upgrade to CS6 first ? I don't wan't the CC version.
    Thanks for any help.

    Serial numbers for Creative Suites are Windows only or Mac only.
    There is a platform swap process but it only applies to CS6

    The only way to do what you want is buy the upgrade version of CS6 for Mac.

  • Transfer license from windows to mac?

    Purchased CC 5.5 in 2012 (currently installed on a Windows PC).
    Looking at getting a new computer, a Macbook. Am I able to transfer that license to a macbook? What are my options? Thanks.

  • Can I convert my license from windows to mac?

    I have a license key for CS5.5 on windows, but just bought a new macbook.
    The install process on the mac says that my serial number is invalid. How do I convert it from a windows key to a mac key?

    Unfortunately only the most recent Suite, CS6, is supported with the option to swap platforms.  You would have to install a Windows emulator on the Mac for a chance at installing the version you have.

  • Can I convert my CS6 license from windows to mac?

    Have been using CS6 for a couple of years on my Dell.   Just made the switch to Mac and wondering if I can move my Adobe CS6 license to the new system?

    You'll need to obtain a Mac serial number from Adobe

  • Swapping license from windows to mac/upgrade?

    Purchased CS5 (WIn) Student and teacher edition. I have subsequently gone to university and use a Mac.
    Is it possible to swap the license to CS5 mac and download the software?
    If not, how much does it cost to upgrade to CS6 and is this available on DVD media?

    There are no upgrades with further S&T discounts. That being so, you would simply buy a CS6 version for Mac. There are no disks, just downloads these days (unless you buy a retail package with a code, but those get fewer every day as stock runs out).

  • Looking to migrate my license from windows to mac, Is there a roadmap to accomplish?

    Looking to migrate my Windows license to Mac. Hoping there is an easy way to accomplish?

    OK.  You'll need to Contact Customer Care
    USA - 1 (800) 833-6687
    Or use Live Chat and tell them you need a cross grade for CS6.  There are a few hurdles you must go through to get it.

  • Tranferring my ligthroom license from windows to mac

    Is it possible to move the license I have bought for windows to my new macbook?

    You don't want to think in terms of moving anything.  Just install the Mac version of Lightroom on the Mac and see if the serial number you have works to activate it.

  • Can I switch my Adobe CS4 license from Windows to Mac?

    Good Day,
    Recently, I've decided to make the switch over to mac. I have been avoiding it for years, purely because I was worried about whether or not I would be able to use the Adobe Creative Suite I paid so much for all those years ago.
    Is there any way to change the licensing to be used on a mac, rather than a PC?
    Best Wishes,
    Kyami

    No, it's not possible. CS4 is no longer eligible for any upgrades, so a platform swap is out of the question. You have to buy a new license.

    In general when you change between Windows and Mac you should budget for re-buying all software, though you can be lucky with some.

  • Installing CS4 Design Standard as an upgrade from InDesign

    Installing CS4 Design Standard as an upgrade from InDesign CS on Mavericks OS but serial numbers not valid.  Is there a keystroke to override this hangup?

    Thanks kglad,  I have attempted all of your suggestions with no success.  This is a specific unique issue requiring a special set of keyboard commands to unlock or override my s/n.  The product is an upgrade from an old InDesign CS.  The InDesign CS is not on the harddrive, I cannot install the InDesign CS again after Mavericks upgrade.  The CS4 install routine does not present an opportunity to enter the InDesign CS s/n when I attempt a trial install and launch. The initial install required a call to Adobe support and special keystrokes were provided from support to "open" the software.  Please help.  Adobe support via CHAT are not able to access this information.
