I have Photoshop CS5 for PC. My PC died and I'd like to instal Photoshop CS5 onto my new Mac. How can I convert the PC license to a Mac license?

    See http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.html?PID=2159997

    However I suspect that you may be out of luck with a direct swap from CS5 Win to CS5 Mac.

    According to the link, Adobe do not offer platform swaps for past versions. They may also insist on a simultaneous upgrade to CS6, otherwise known as a crossgrade.

    See how you go.

    Thanks, John. Looks like a cross-grade from PC CS5 to Mac CS6 is the only path at the upgrade fee.
