Migrate Adobe Master Collection to Mac

[RickRicholson]

I purchased Adobe Master Collection CS5 a few years ago and use it on my desktop and laptop PCs. I have since misplaced the installation CD/DVDs. I want to purchase a new Mac laptop and use my Master Collection license for the Mac laptop. I would deactivate and uninstall the version on my PC laptop.

If I can do this, what is the URL for downloading Adobe Master Collection CS5?

I have been unable to find out if this is possible by searching Adobe and elsewhere. I am not ready to purchase CS6 or iCloud versions.

Thank you!

if you have windows version now, you won't be able to use the mac version with that serial number.

but if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html

and activate with a mac serial number.  a windows serial number won't work.

if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 

the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 

failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com
