thinking of switching from Windows to Mac

[Irwin]

I'm a long time Windows PS user, now thinking of switching to Mac. I've got the $9.99 plan which I think allows for PS to be installed on 2 machines. Using my existing plan, can I have PS on both a Windows machine and a Mac at the same time? If so, how do I make that change? I didn't see an option for installing a Mac version of PS in lieu of a Windows version - or do both machines take the same app?

Yes you can have it installed on both PC's at the same time.

You just need to install the Creative Cloud app on the MAC and sign in your Adobe ID and password and then install Photoshop from there.

Thanks very much! So just to be clear, there's only one app to download, and it works equally on both a Mac and windows machine, correct?

The CC application will download and install the correct version for your machine.

I went over to Mac after the first ransomware, Cryptolocker showed up. I still held on to my old Windows 10 laptop and I do keep it up to date, because I have apps that I can't get on the Mac. No problem getting both Windows and Mac apps on the same license.

I'd recommend using the Adobe Account Access app if you have an iPhone or Android device.

Saves a lot of time.

Gene, great to see you posting.  I hope you are well.

Yes you can. Only one computer can be used at the time, you can not use both machines at the same time. Here is what official help says:

Can I install my Adobe app on another computer?

"Your individual license lets you install your Adobe app on more than one computer, sign in (activate) on two, but use it on only one computer at a time."
