‌I currently have LR and PSE on a PC.  It is the only computer I have ever installed it on.  If I purchase a Mac will I need to purchase these programs again or will I be able to load them onto it.  I would no longer be using my PC.

    HI Tara,

    I checked your account and your Lightroom 5 is for both Mac & PC. The Photoshop Elements is Windows only. When you purchase your Mac and need to switch the platform for Photoshop.

    Just contact one of our chat agents here. Contact Customer Care

    Provide your Adobe ID and explain that you are switching to a Mac. They can issue you a serial for the Mac.

    Thanks

    lr and pse are cross-platform apps.  you do not need to repurchase (unless they're old versions).

    you will need a mac serial number but that should have been supplied when you purchased.
