Hello i have adobe photoshop cs5 on my windows desktop and had installed it today on my laptop which would be my second machine, i download and get to the serial number part which i referred back to a email that activated it and put that in. Each time i try to put it in i get a message saying "that code is not valid for this product" now i noticed it said cs5.1 is that any different then just cs5?

Any help is much appreciated.

No such thing. You simply cannot use Windows serials on Mac and vice versa. Serials are platform specific. If you want to run your softwware on your Mac, you need to use Bootcamp or run an emulation environment like Paralles Desktop.
