    Correct answer John Waller

    Which version of Masters Collection?

    The simple answer is no, unless you own CS6. Creative Suite serial numbers are operating system specific: Windows only or Mac only.

    Adobe does offer a platform swap process (Win to Mac and vice versa) but only for current versions and it's an all-or-nothing deal (you must surrender your Windows serial number permanently to get the Mac serial number and vice versa):

    Creative Cloud software can all be installed on Windows and/or Mac with the same membership.
