I have installed the Creative Suite for WIN on both my PC and old Window Laptop.

My laptop hard drive crashed....would cost more to fix it than buy a new one.

Would love to get a Mac Book Pro.

Can I deactivate my second machine license (laptop) and install the Master suite onto a MacBook Pro?  or am I forced to buy a Windows Machine only?

    Russellb48276717 you can find details on how to request a platform swap at Exchange a product for a different language or platform version .  As Ned indicated you will need to surrender your Windows license to receive a CS6 Mac license.  Creative Suite 6 licenses are platform specific.

    If you would like to use Photoshop CS6 on both Windows and Mac then I would recommend a Creative Cloud membership.  It includes access to Photoshop CS6, in addition to Photoshop CC 2015.5, you can find details regarding how to install Previous versions at Download and install Creative Cloud apps​.

    You are not forced to buy anything, but your license is only valid for a Windows installation.  You cannot have it working on both platforms.  If it is CS6 you might still be able to swap it for a Mac, but then that would mean your Windows license would no longer be working.

    Thank you.

    So, I can deactivate the dead laptop and use the second device license on

    the new window machine?
