Deactivated? You were supposed to uninstall and DESTROY the Windows media. In short, there’s no legal way to do what you want.

If you want to go back to Windows you’ll need to buy a crossplatform upgrade to CS3.

Here’s a dilemma.
HAD WIndows version of CS2 – switched to a Mac & they sent me the Mac version. Installed on the Mac. No problems.

Now the Mac is out, and it may be a considerable period of time before I can use it again. My other computer is a Windows laptop.

So to use Photoshop I need to reinstall that Windows version I uninstalled onto my laptop. But since that version was deactivated, will I be able to install it using my Mac activation code? I understand that I am allowed to have it installed on 2 machines so long as I do not use them simultaneously. But these are two different platforms & 2 sets of disks.

It was wiped out & destroyed, not JUST deactivated.

If I buy a Xplatform upgrade though, don’t I then have to uninstall & destroy the Mac version? Then when I get my Mac back I won’t be able to use it on the MAc.

That’s the problem – will only be using Photoshop on one computer, but seems like I have to pay for two?

You buy a platform specific license for one machine that allows for the use on a second on the SAME PLATFORM with certain conditions.

Just exactly how long do you figure to be without your Mac?

Will be without the Mac for 4 – 6 weeks most likely. Could be slightly more, maybe even slightly less.

Decision’s yours but you only get one platform or the other.

Isn’t 4 weeks roughly how long a fully functional trial runs?
