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
Order product | Platform, language swap
The only way to do what you want is buy the upgrade version of CS6 for Mac.

    I currently have a valid license to Adobe Photoshop CS5 on the Windows.  I've switched over to using a Apple Macbook running OSX Mavericks.  How can I convert my current Photoshop CS5 license from PC to mac?

    You can't. The perpetual licenses are OS specific.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Issue using newly purchased copy of Photoshop CS5 - licensing from beta version

    Hello,
    I was part of the Beta Testing group (through adobe) with Photoshop CS5 before it's release. As such, I had Photoshop CS5 prior to its release. When the License expired I don't think I deleted it correctly from my computer. Now, I've purchased my new copy of CS5 (including Photoshop) and it installed (after much problems. It saw that I had copy elements of Photoshop. It suggested I get the Photoshop cleaner and run it. I did run it and finally was able to install the full CS5, including Photoshop). Now... when I try to RUN/OPEN photoshop CS5 it says my license has expired. It hasn't. I just bought it. So, I used the application in the CS5 folder that had the uninstall application. I ran the  uninstall And then RE-INSTALLED it off the dvd. I tried AGAIN to launch Photoshop and it still says its license has expired. What do I do? I've spent hours on this and have gotten no work done in Photoshop today. HELP.

    Hi,
    I'll send you a private message, so we can try and straighten this out.

  • Transfer Photoshop CS3 Extended from PC to Mac

    Hi, I used to have a PC and now am using a Macbook pro. I used to have Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended on my PC but I haven't been able to figure out how to transfer the programme onto my new computer. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Jo

    Your license is only valid for a Windows system and is too old to be swapped for a Mac.  The only chance you will have is to install a Windows emulator on the Mac and see if CS3 is able to be installed thru that.

  • Transfer i-tunes content from Windows to Mac

    After being a life long PC user my wife just bought me a Mac Book Pro. How difficult, or should I let the Apple Store techs transfer all my songs, movies, apps from my I-tunes on my Windows PC to my Mac Book? I have back up DVDs of my songs in I-Tunes if that would help. I never backed up my movies, which I know I should do ASAP! Any help and/or suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks.

    The Apple store will transfer all your user data, not only the media files.

  • What's the best way to transfer my iTunes music from windows to mac?

    I ordered my first Macbook which will get here on Monday, August 13, 2012. This is my first Macbook so I need a little help transferring my music over to my new laptop from my current Windows laptop. Is my best option just using home sharing? I did a Google search which turned up home sharing but I wanted to come on here to see if it is in fact my best route. I'd like to transfer all my music (2500 songs) with the album artwork and info I've entered. I'm a little picky about my music so I'd like everything to transfer over. Thanks in advance.

    Reading that article I have just one concern. In the notes section it says,
    "This process will create a new user account on your Mac to contain the Windows PC information that is migrated over.  It will not merge the information with an existing user account on your Mac."
    I don't want to have two accounts that I have to switch back and forth between.
    You don't have to switch between accounts. Just use the new account.
    If you start up and then add a new, 2nd account with the imported info, you can just use this new account. Either keep the first account as an admin user or delete it.
    If I do this the first time I start the computer will I be able to have just one account?
    Yes.
    I have two accounts.
    One only for admin stuff and another for my regualr, day-to-day use.

  • I need to transfer an iTunes library from Windows to Mac. .with a catch.

    The catch is, I have a Mac formatted iPod, so if I understand correctly, I can't use it as an external drive to take the library from the Windows machine.
    Anyway. . I'm buying my fiancee a MacBook, and obviously she wants her iTunes library from her Windoze machine. Her iPod is a nano, so it's not large enough capacity to transfer her whole library to her new MacBook.
    So. . how do I get her music on her MacBook?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    One way would to be to re-format the ipod for windows, enable disk usage, copy her existing library, then transfer to the mac ( the mac will read a window formatted ipod). Otherwise, if you have the ability I suggest networking the 2 computers, (macs & pc's can be networked together without a lot of trouble) an transfer via ethernet.
