I currently us Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended for Students and Teachers. I am hoping to swap my PC for a Mac in the very near future. I only have and installation disc for Windows. Can I uninstall the program from my old machine and download the Mac version from the internet onto my new machine and use my old activation key???

    Hi BriaP,

    I am sorry but Serial no are not cross platform so you won't be able to use Windows Serial no on Mac. Also Platform swap is only available to the Latest version of suite ie CS6.

    Hope it helps.

    Regards,

    Abhijit

    Hi BriaP,

    You can go for Subscription based Creative Cloud where you get all the latest version of Adobe apps and the best part is it is Cross Platform ie you can use CC Apps on 2 machine at the same time(1 Mac and 1 Windows or 2 Mac's or 2 Windows). You can buy the subscription from Adobe.com

    Hope it answers your query.

    Regards,

    Abhijit
