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 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 License from PC to Mac

Hi,
I'm just in the process to switch from Windows to MacOS. I tried my old licenses from Photoshop CS3 on the Mac, but it doesn't work (other like Lightroom which works fine on MacOS).
What can I do...I would like to give back the PC license and get a MacOS license. But as I do not want to use it on both machines, I didn't like the idea to buy a second copy.
Although could I run an MacOS Updateversion with a previous Windows license?
Thanks...Carsten

I just bought a Win -> Mac crossgrade for Photoshop by phone;
it took just about 5 minutes and was an easy transaction with
a pleasant service guy.
Steps:
          go to www.adobe.com
               click on "contact"
               on next page, click "other phone numbers"
               call number listied for "licensing, registration web services"
               told the agent I wanted to crossgrade from CS2 on PC to
                    CS5 on Mac
               verified name, address, e-mail address
               he (evidently) checked licensing/registration
               he offered full Mac retail package at upgrade price
                    (plus shipping and sales tax)
               I gave him credit card info
               within five minutes, I had confirmation e-mail including
                    all the order conf data in a nice oficial-looking PDF
                    complete with Adobe letterhead
(and while I'm waiting for the package to arrive, I can make use
of the 30-day trial CS5 for Mac ... )
Now this is for a cross-grade which means I'm not going to continue
to use CS2 on the PC and apparently they found all my registration
data with no trouble, but all in all it was about as easy as these
things get.
I don't recall ever using Adobe customer service before, but if this
is anything like typical, it's a lot better than its reputation.

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.

Transfer files from Windows to Mac

I need advice on transferring from a Windows/Dell hard drive to an Apple Mac Laptop

Just copy the files you want to transfer to an external drive connected to the Dell. Then move that to the Mac and copy them from the external to your Mac.
Doesn't matter how the drive is formatted because OS X can READ Windows NTFS formatted drives.
I suggest you forgo the use of the Migration Assistant system as it doesn't work as expected and for the simple fact that no programs or settings can be transferred from a Windows PC to a Mac. Only personal files can be transferred and it is much simpler to do it manually.

Can i transfer licenses from pc to Mac?

Hi, i am looking at buying a Mac. Can i transfer my cs5.5 and lightroom 4 to the mac from pc? Or do i need to buy them new for Mac?

LR is cross-platform, no problem there. Your CS5.5 will however require upgrading to CS6 and conversion to Mac or getting a Creative Cloud license.

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

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.

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).

Transfer license from Windows to OS

I deactivated my Adobe Pro license on my old Windows laptop and would like to install the software on my new Macbook but it does not recognize the serial number.

That's correct. It is an entirely different product and license.
If your licensed version is 11 (XI) I hear that Adobe will do a deal to "crossgrade".

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.

It's no good arguing with us, we don't make the rules and don't work for Adobe.
In general when you change between Windows and Mac you should budget for re-buying all software, though you can be lucky with some.
