Sanjay: Please allow me 2-3 minutes while I will pull up the account details.

Sanjay: I checked and see that the serial …. is for Design Premium CS4 (upgrade version) and is for Windows OS.

Sanjay: You can install it on MAC.

Sanjay: And when you install Design Premium CS4 (upgrade version) you'll be asked for previous version SL.
