Windows License to Mac?

I currently have a Windows License for the Creative Suite 5.5 but am most likely upgrading to a Mac for univesity studies. Is there any way I can switch my license to a Mac? If not what are my options if there are any that don't require me having to buy the full suite again for Mac.
Thanks

You buy a CS6 upgrade and make the switch:
Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap
Though if you are still a student, it could be considered a moot point - buying an S&T version again would still be cheaper than the comemrcial upgrade...

Converting Windows license to Mac...

I have a Windows license for Captivate 4 that I need to convert to Mac? Any ideas how to make that happen, other than purchasing another full license?

Hello There ,
I am afraid that Captivate 4 is not a supported version and there was no Mac version of Adobe Captivate 4.
Mac version came into picture after Captivate 5 .
Thanks and Regards

Activate second copy of Windows license on Mac?

I bought Adobe Design Premiere CS5 with the Windows package to run on my Windows 7 desktop. I know the license allows you to activate this on two computers I own. Can I use the same serial number to activate my second copy on my MacBookPro in OSX? I presume I can download the trial Mac version and install that on the MBP, will the serial number work?
Thanks for any clarification!

Wow, that's tragic! Thanks for the info Jeffrey. I just reread the EULA and I don't see anywhere in the agreement where you are restricted to installing a Windows license only on another Windows system:
"2.2 General Use. You may install and use one copy of the Software only on the Permitted Number of your
compatible Computers into which you enter a valid serial number."
"2.5 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the important restrictions set forth in Section 2.6, the
primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.2 (“Primary User”) may
install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a
Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not
used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer."
So now I have to find a way to get the second copy I'm entitled to installed on my Mac portable Computer !
Any suggestions?

CS5.5 Windows License for Mac?

Hey,
I bought CS5.5 for Windows on Nov 26 2011. I have recently bought a new Macbook and so no longer use my windows laptop. Is there any chance that I can use the same Serial Number for a Mac Version?
I want to sell my old PC and don't really want to have to fork out loads of money for new software after the CS5.5 was fine.
Please help!
Kacey

You will have to upgrade to CS6 and make the platform switch.

FlexBuilder license for Mac and Windows

I just got a new MacBook Pro and I'd like to be able to start
developing on it using FlexBuilder for the Mac. I've been doing
some research, and the Windows license is not compatible with the
Mac version. I did find some info on the
Adobe
Flex FAQ. Does this mean that if I "trade-in" my license that
it will no longer be valid for Windows? Or am I trading my
Windows-only license for one that works on both systems? Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks.

PSE9 is multi-platform so you can run both side by side, subject to a maximum of two installations.
If you ever need to transfer PSE9 to another computer you must first deactivate the Editor by going to Help >Deactivate (it will be grayed out in trial versions)

I have CS4 on a PC. I have bought a new MAC. How do I install my CS4 on the MAC- it seems this is a windows license.

The license is only good for Windows and is too old to qualify for a platform swap. The only option you might have is to install Windows emulation software on the Mac and install CS4 thru that.

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.

Transfer CS6 Windows license over to a Mac

I have been a happy Adobe customer running CS3 through to CS6 on a window computer. I refuse to be part of the new creative cloud and need to constantly pay monthly fees just to use the latest software. I am quite happy with what CS6 gives me and meets my needs.
The problem however is that my Windows machine is on it's last legs and I don't want to buy another and get stuck with Windows 8. I want to move over to a new iMac 27" unit, but I am a bit stuck with my Adobe CS6 license.
I know that in the past, well documented people cross platform upgrading from a windows version of CSx to the newer version of CSx on the other platform. But there is no new version of CS7 coming out. CS6 is it, and I own it on Windows. Is there any migration path to exchange your license of CS6 windows to CS6 Mac??
I would prefer to run a native copy on the iMac rather than needing to mess around with Bootcamp or some virtural desktop to run windows on the mac just to get my Adobe CS6 to work. Any help on if it's possible and who I should be contacting would be appreciated.

While I do prefer the Mac platform, Windows versions of software have had a better history of working with newer OSs. You can run a Windows virtual machine on the Mac and keep the software running nearly forever on the Windows OS of your choice. If you switch to a Mac version of CS6, there is no guarantee that your CS 6 will work with the next version of the Mac OS.
I run Windows software on my Mac using Parallels. It works quite will as long you don’t need extreme performance. If you do, then I would use Boot Camp. I use Parallels to run the TCS 5 and run the CC software on my Mac simultaneously. If you are a heavy user of Photoshop or AE then Boot Camp is your better bet for speed. For your CS 6 software. Parallels is nice in that you can work with both PC and Mac software simultaneously and even copy and paste as needed.
BTW, the 27” iMac is a very nice machine. I can recommend it highly.

Using Windows CS5 license with Mac

Hello all,
I recently bought Adobe CS5 Design Premium as a download for my Windows desktop. However, I need to install it on my Macbook so that I can have it "in the field" ... I do a lot of web development, and I need to be able to do it on the go. I figured I could buy the Windows version, install it on the desktop, download the Mac trial, and activate both with the same serial. I even asked Adobe if I could do exactly that, and they said yes as long as they were both mine. When I tried it, the Mac would not accept the serial. Now Adobe Support is saying I need to buy another copy if I want to use it like that. Figures.
So I assume I just need a new serial for the Mac version as well. Yes, I could use a text editor, download GIMP, buy Coda, or use CrossOver/VMWare/BootCamp, but quite frankly I shouldn't have to and don't want to. CrossOver and VMWare cost money, and BootCamp doesn't give me enough battery life. Honestly I shouldn't have to pay another $2000 for the privilege of using, with slightly more functionality (actually it would be the functionality they advertised, and I wouldn't have bought it had they just said I could not do this ... but I digress), what I've already paid an exorbitant amount of money to have. I will refer to this xkcd comic: http://xkcd.com/488/
But anyways, does anyone know where and/or how I could get a Mac serial to complement my Windows version? They are both my computers. A full-fledged download link would be nice, too, so that I don't have to mess with the trial version stuff.
Thanks in advance,
roadkill

Adobe sells plaform specific licenses. I'm sorry you got incorrect info from whomever you talked to but if you want to use that Windows license on your MacBook I suggest visiting Newegg.com and buying an OEM version of Windows 7 Home Premium for about $99.
Install it using Boot Camp and then you can install and activate your CS5 Windows version there.
