Digital BW, The Print

This came up on the photoshop list last week.
Adobe has a "cross platform upgrade" that must be purchased directly
from them.
What this is is a full license and installer, but you pay the upgrade
price and change platforms.

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.
