The Lightroom windows serial key will not work with the Mac as the these serial keys are platform specific.
Thanks

Bertalan Oct 11, 2014 3:17 AM (in response to KRupani)Thanks Kapil. Does this mean I will have to buy a separate lightroom for my Mac even though Adobe allows for lightroom to be loaded on 2 computers?

Nikhil R Gupta Oct 11, 2014 4:06 AM (in response to Bertalan)Hi bertalan,
Yes, you can install it on 2 computers of same operating system. If you've bought it for Windows then it only can be installed on 2 Windows machines. Only if you buy Creative Cloud Subscription then you can install the applications on both Mac and Windows. Creative cloud subscriptions do not have the concept of serial numbers. The Serial Numbers were always platform specific.
What is the error message you are getting while installing it on Mac?
Thanks,
Nikhil Gupta

The Lightroom serial number is cross-platform. It works on both Windows and Mac.
Something else is going on here.

For Creative Suite, yes.
However, Lightroom serial numbers are cross-platform.

Thanks for the clarification. The issue is something else then.
Thanks,
