Migration of a Mac CS5 Master Collection to a PC license

Hi all. I have a copy of CS5 master collection box and a Mac that is old and failing rapidly. I was required to buy this computer for College and he has seen a lot of use. Macs are expensive and a new is not something I have to allocate funds to the. I'm going to the construction of a PC Tower (boo, I know ) because I can get the most bang for my money this way, and as I'm one of those "starving artists" I don't have several hundred dollars to spend on a new license on top of the money it will cost to build a new computer for me. Cloud stuff is not really an option either.

But I digress, my question is whether it is possible to migrate a license Mac on any PC (to remove Mac programs in the process)?

My apologies if this has already asked. I wasn't able to find an answer to my search on Google or the Adobe forum search (just those pertainting from PC to Mac migration). Thank you.

Boxed products versions Adobe usually comes with the platform applications and serial numbers.  This being the case, you have the disks for windows in the box you bought?  If so then yes it is possible to install on your new machine with these discs and serial number.

You can disable the product Apple Mac and install and activate on your new Pc.  Also note that you are allowed to install the product on two machines - laptop computer and a desktop computer but most people install it on two laptops and two desktops or laptop and a desktop computer.

I hope this helps.

  • Can I switch my academic license for CS5 Master Collection to a regular license for the same thing?

    Can I switch my academic license for CS5 Master Collection to a regular license for the same thing?

    If Yes, how much does it cost?

    I'm not allowed to resell my academic license as it is. So, I explore the most cost-effective way for me to get a full license for CS6.

    I understand that academic licenses at regular licenses upgrades do both in a new license which can be sold together. So, maybe it would be cheaper to spend an academic license for CS5 Master Collection to a regular license for CS5 Master Collection, that it would upgrade the software to a later version.

    My reason for the continuation of the full version is that I have upgraded my equipment a lot and don't like versions of the software upgrade, since it requires twice the same software installation. I would rather sell off the previous version and buy a full version. From my experience, this procedure usually ends the same, sometimes cheaper. But, above all, it makes the management of software much easier.

    What Bob says. You can only upgrade to current versions of Adobe products. Currently CS6.

    Your upgrade path is CS5 Master Collection Edu to CS6 Master Collection (upgrade) for US$ 1 049

    http://www.Adobe.com/products/creativesuite/MasterCollection/buying-guide-upgrades.html

    or join the creative cloud.

    My reason for the continuation of the full version is that I have upgraded my equipment a lot and don't like versions of the software upgrade, since it requires twice the same software installation.

    With Adobe software, you just have to install the latest version - even if it's an upgrade on a computer brand new with the previous installation of any Adobe software. Any upgrade of the discs and downloads contain full versions of the software. The installation program recognizes complete and updated versions to update via the serial number.

    So when installing version CS6 Master Collection on a brand new PC (no Adobe software) previous upgrade, you install only CS6.

    The CS6 installer will ask your CS6 serial number and will recognize that it is a series of upgrade. It will then ask a serial number for a longer early version. Which must be CS5 or CS5.5 due to the new political upgrade a back version of Adobe.

    You enter your serial number CS5 Edu and CS6 Setup will continue.

    However, you can find the creative cloud a better fit for you, especially if you're a frequent recovery plant.

    The cloud for you as an owner of CS5 will first be $29.99 US/month for the first 12 months. Then, he'll be back at full price (currently US$ 49.99/month).

    Keep in mind that if/when your Cloud membership expires or is cancelled, you lose use and access to the software. You will then return to CS5 Master Edu with no upgrade path. At this point, it's an all or nothing ask from Adobe.

  • Any computer system, I can now buy will run my CS5 Master Collection for Mac efficiently? Please provide details on the configuration.

    I bought the version CS5 Master Collection for Mac student-to-teacher in 2010 when it was the version of the software. It is on a DVD. I don't have a Mac, as I had hoped. I've never been able to use my CS5 Master Collection Adobe.

    These Adobe programs were very expensive and also a dream come true for me, and I would like to be able to use them. I can now buy a Mac computer. I ask this question in order to get help in the configuration of a computer system which runs programs of CS5 Master Collection effectively.

    I want a computer with the best capability I can afford. My budget is in the vicinity of five thousand dollars. My technical knowledge is extremely limited. I need a response that sets out very clearly and very basically things in full detail.

    If it is impossible now to make effective use of the CS5 Master Collection, so I would like to know this, so that uncertainty about my software Adobe need no more trouble and affect my buying decision. My old windows computer recently crashed and I need to start shopping for a computer.

    I'd be happy to answer any questions that might help you solve my problem, so please post them here. Thank you!

    CS 5 you can install it on the latest version of Mac OS, its not otherwise impossible except scenario very very rare. But the official response is this old version apps are not tested against the latest Mac or no support is available for CS 5 Adobe assistance now. But you can get help from staff, but also colleagues.

    But it is confirmed that CS 2 versions cannot be installed because they are Power PC apps. Rosetta is not available for the latest version of Mac OS.

    now the Collection Adobe apps are subscription like monthly / annual subscription.

    But most of the users have managed to install CS 5 version on Mac OS X 10.11, little inconsistency there. We can fix.

  • Adobe CS5 Master Collection: Digital Setup error

    Hello community,

    I recently bought an iMac (late 2015) running OS X El Capitan and wanted to install my already purchased Adobe CS5 Master Collection on this subject. The iMac doesn't have a CD drive, so I wanted to do this digitally. I downloaded the file DMG source here: Download Adobe Creative Suite 5 products

    Once I have finished downloading, I run the DMG file and it opens the installer. I double click on it and it opens a window with 4 files (3 files, 1 install file): deploy, install, package, payloads.

    As I am not familiar with these files, I am aware that I need to run the file "install". When I do, I get the error message below.

    'Install' is corrupted and cannot be opened. You must eject the image.

    'Install' is on the disk image

    "MasterCollection_CS5_LS1.dmg" Google Chrome downloaded this drive today at 05:07 from trials2.adobe.com.

    I have two options, "Cancel" or "Eject the Disk Image". I don't know what to do at this point. This product is currently installed on my MacBook Pro 17 "(mi-2010) via the installation of disc with the serial number that are associated with."

    Need advice. Please and thank you.

    Check the file downloaded to ensure that its size matches the size expected.

    You can also copy the contents of the drive on your old computer to a USB stick and transfer that stick to your imac and install from this usb key.

  • Install CS5 Master Collection with JEAN and Casper Suite

    Hello

    We bought Adobe CS5 Master Collection for Mac with a site license and I would use Casper due to distribute. We have downloaded the MasterCollection_CS5_LS1.dmg of our account, but Packager AAMEE the .dmg will not recognize as valid a Setup program. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to create a distribution for Casper? I read the 'Simplification Adobe CS5 Administration with the Casper Suite' guide and the guide version 2.0.242.0 of JOHN. Do I need to get a .pkg file to use with the creator of the AAMEE package?

    Thanks for any help.

    Problem solved. Eventually, I realized that I had to extract/drag applications Adobe CS5 Master Collection since the .dmg downloaded into a folder. Then JOHN Packer program was able to recognize applications.
