Generally, yes, unless you will be throwing away the Mac.  However, it's
worth asking Adobe about to see if you can transfer a license.  At one time,
I believe Adobe also allowed some other exceptional situations (home and
office PC, as was done at one time with Microsoft Office as well), but I
don't know if their license still works this way, nor do I know that it
would even be applicable in your case.  It costs nothing to ask, however,
and if they say it's okay you've saved hundreds of dollars.  If you are
actually losing the Mac, in particular, it seems that you'd be able to
transfer a license.
