as I mentioned in another thread that I'm buying my first IMac after many years as a PC user. Apple do the migration software to transfer files etc from my pc. Can I use the migration software to move Photoshop CC and Lightroom or should I be deleting from my PC and download from Adobe again once I set up my IMac? Thanks in advance.
 
I'm not sure if CC is transferrable just by redownloading. Same with light room, I think the licences are platform specific.

With both adobe products you may need to contact adobe to transfer them.
 
The migration software will only move data file e.g. you photos music, word PowerPoint documents etc. It will not move or transfer windows applications.
You will have to download the Mac versions of your Adobe software using your Adobe Creative Cloud account.
Other software you will probably have to by the Mac versions.

I read a while back and just remembered that I think I can get photoshop cc on 2 different computers at the same time, if true that would suit me perfectly.

True, but youd be wasting one copy.

Also its not for simultaneous use, its more for one copy on a desktop and one for when youre on a laptop out and about.

You just need to contact adobe (certainly for light room as the key won't work) to transfer the licence between platforms.
 
Lightroom is platform independent. Neither does it perform a licence count. You just need to install it on your new mac and enter the key. Adobe will swap your other licences
 
I thought CreativeCloud did away with the platform specific licensing?
