Hi,

I have Adobe Creative Suite 4 for PC and I am thinking of buying an iMac. I have read that I can swap the PC licence for a MAC license. Is that correct information? If yes, what is the procedure?

Thanks

Yes, it's correct BUT only for the current version (CS6). You are no longer able to switch CS4 Windows to CS4 Mac.

You're also too late to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 so you'll either have to:

  1. Buy a new version of CS6 for Mac and pay full price, or
  2. Join the Adobe Cloud

If yes, what is the procedure?

Note from that page:

"If you have a previous version, you cannot swap to a different platform or language of the previous version. Instead, it's necessary to upgrade."
