Upgrade from element 8 PC to element 12 mac and got an error that mac version doesn't support older element version. Any idea how to move catalog an pics?

Hello,
Just upgraded Elements to version 12 on a Mac. Did a full backup on my Window based version 8 to external drive and when I wanted to do a restore on the V12 (Mac) got the following message: This catalog is from an older version of Elements and currently is not supported on the Mac platform. Please create a new catalog and then import your media". Any idea how I can maintain all the catalog data from the PC (I have about 25K pictures)?
Thanks

There was a major change in catalog database format in PSE 9. You would need to install PSE 9 or later in windows, make the backup again and then restore that to the mac. You could conceivably do this with the trial if you didn't buy the boxed version of PSE 12 and so don't have the windows media.
