I recently purchased CS6 for my pc.  Now, I have a Mac and am wondering if I can use the second download on my Mac.  Will Adobe issue me a Mac version?

    No. A license is for either PC or Mac, not both. You would need to buy the Mac version. However, if you are willing to give up your PC license, I believe some sort of 'crossgrade' deal might apply. You will need to talk to Adobe directly.

    Thank you so much guys!  I think it is totally possible.  It's a hard decision because I use both computers.  I prefer my new Mac and want to use it for post processing.  Thanks again!

    It sounds like it is too late for you now, but in the future (CS7?), if you are still using a Mac and PC, you may want to check on an Adobe Creative Cloud membership. That license allows for on install on two computers, but they can be different platforms (Mac and PC)
