I currently have Photoshop CS6 running on a Windows 10 computer and would like to move it to an iMac I just purchased, can I do that without having to purchase new software?  If so, can I download the Mac version of CS6 and use may same license key or will I need a new license key?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

My understanding is that doing the below requires deactivating on your original computer, but check the link to be sure

John, I have the same issue as Rickey -- only,I am trying to swap a (purchased) upgrade of CS6 from a Mac version to go into a new Windows OS. I have downloaded two files from the download site (one is 3+ hours long) -- and put it on the Windows PC; clicked the application file -- some things downloaded and created a Photoshop CS6 folder on my computer -- but nothing more.  I have the CS5 disk(that I upgraded from, and installed it on this computer, in case it needed to see the original software) and have the Mac version CS6 on a disk -- but it doesn't do anything on the Windows pc because it is a Mac version.

I tried your link and it just sends you back asking the forum -- even though your link said you need to contact a representative to make the OS swap.  I tried the support number and it says you have to go to the 'getsupport' page on the website, because phone support is no longer provided for Photoshop -- which sends you back to the forum -- LOL!  (but it's not funny).
