License of LR to transfer from PC to Mac
Hi - I'm a PC user, but will change to a Mac in the next six months. I want to buy stand-alone Lightroom now but trying to gain insurance, first of all, I'll be able to transfer the software through to a Mac in the future without having to spend another c. £100 to buy a second license. Can anyone help? Thank you
Lightroom is cross-platform and you are allowed to two activations; so you can run it on both. I have mine installed on my W7 desktop and my Macbook Pro.

Transfer a license 5.5 Standard design from Windows to Mac
We have a windows machine dying that our employee graphics used and has since moved to a Mac. The problem is the license that I have does not work with the downloaded file mac. It works on my windows machine 8 with the media, but the media are windows only. When I try it on the Mac this is for me a invalid for this product error. I don't think that the licenses were attached on Mac or Windows. I would like to get the upgrade to 6 on the Mac, but would like to see 5.5 working first. Thank you
Hi MSirotz,
For a retail license you can be using it on a MAC or Windows computer. The same serial number wouldn't work on both platforms, as serial numbers are specific BONES. If you want to use the software on the Mac too, so you must purchase another license for sale at retail for Mac.
If you want to buy an upgrade to MAC, please see the policies set forth in the following KB: l http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm

License transfer from PC to Mac
Hello
I'm just in the process to switch from Windows to MacOS. I tried my old licenses of Photoshop CS3 on Mac, but it does not (the other like Lightroom that works very well on Mac OS).
What I can do... I want to restore the PC license and get a license for MacOS. But I don't want to use it on both machines, I didn't like the idea of buying a second copy.
Although I could run a Updateversion MacOS with a previous Windows license?

Photoshop Elements 12 transfer from windows to mac
Can I transfer my photoshop elements 12 of my computer windows laptop to a macair?
You can install a Mac version of Photoshop on Mac 12 items (assuming that it is compatible), but you cannot install a PC version. Even if it's a MAc to Mac, transfer is not recommended - installation.
You are allowed to have two facilities enabled, and your license is good for two platforms/versions.

License Exchange of Acrobat 9 from PC to Mac
I have a license for Acrobat 9 for PC. Now, I have Mac and I want to change my license for Mac. Who can help me
Cannot be done.
Your serial number for Windows will not work on a Mac.
Adobe does offer swap platform, but only for the current versions. The current version is Acrobat XI.

For your Mac, you will need to either buy a new one, the full version of Acrobat XI or join the Cloud.

I just bought a new computer and have changed from a PC to a Macbook Pro. How can I download my already purchased Photoshop Elements from one computer to another?
Depends on what version you have. only versions 9 and following are cross-platform. If you have one of these, you need to do is download the Mac installer and can use your serial number with him. Downloads can be found using this method:
Direct download links for Adobe software
If you have an earlier version, you will need to purchase an upgrade.

I followed the instructions in the release notes and upgraded E5 to E10 on PC with the sucessfullyand free trial have tried to transfer the catalog E10 to the Mac via the home network and memory stick. However, when you try to restore on Mac I tells me that the file is not a valid catalog! I am reaaly need to buy an external hard drive just to move a file! ?
The memory stick is an external hard drive, as to this regard. You must search for the .tly file in the catalog file. (I assume that you do this through Windows backup and restore it on the mac).
