    Yes you can install on both the Mac and the PC. Just know you are allowed 2 activations of your Adobe applications and this will use both of them.

     

    Cheers,

    Does that also work with virtual machines, per the question here?

     

    If yes, then I suppose the EULA is really saying one activation per operating system.

    Yes, the same goes for virtual machines. Thank you for helping clarify, John!

    Sorry - one last one for my part. If i activate on a system - and wipe the system - i can re-activate on a newly installed system? Seems like astupid quesiton and I would think so - but being a developer i have learned there are no stupid questions .

    Thanks for your time!

    Just make sure you deactivate your applications on that system before you wipe it.

     

    You can do this by opening any of the applications and choosing Help > Deactivate. This will ensure that you free up one of your activations and can activate on your new system.

    What if I have Adobe software on a computer that is stolen or damaged and I am not able to deactivate it? Would Adobe support be able to help me free up an activation to use on a new machine?

    Yes, they should be able to do that for you.
