Prettypic you can request to swap your Windows CS6 license for Macintosh CS6 license.  Please see Order product | Platform, language swap - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.html for information on how to transfer your license.

Yes or at least deactivate it as your license to use the software will then be transfered from Windows to Macintosh.
