Is it possible to transfer my CS5 for windows to mac

[chavoz]

I migrate from windows to Mac

I wish to transfer my CS5 version for windows to my macbookpro.

I  downloaded the mac version of CS5 and tried with the serial number I had for the windows version, but as it was predictable, the number was not recognized.

Is There a solution?

Hi Marcel,

You can follow the article: Order product | Platform, language swap for Platform Swap.

Let us know if that's what you were looking for.

Thanks,

That's rather a misleading response since only CS6 is eligible for a platform swap. Not CS5.

The only options from CS5 are:

a) a paid upgrade to CS6 for Mac (perpetual license), or

b) join the Cloud
