If you got it bundled with hardware like a scanner or tablet, probably. If not, no. The retail versions of Elements are not cross platform, not since PSE 2. But the bundled versions usually include both platforms.

For a nominal fee (shipping/disc costs), I believe Adobe will swap your Windows disc for a Mac one. I think you have to call them to do it - I can't find anything on their site about it. The sales number is 800-585-0774.

Yes, be sure you call sales and not customer support (those people never know anything about crossgrades).

I nearly suggested this earlier ... but if you want to carry on using the Windows Version on your PC then you won't be able to take up this option :(

I made the switch from PC to MAC about 1 year ago. I called and they were very nice and sent me the MAC version. I had to sign a letter stating that I would destroy my PC version. Good Luck

Hi! I just recently did this, a couple weeks ago. I made a post about it and I think I may have included the phone number I called to do it (if you wanna look for it, shouldn't be hard I probably have all but 10 posts here, LMAO). It was easy peasy! Well, it was easy peasy to do the request, but my god I'm STILL waiting for it to come in the mail! I keep getting "updates" on the order from them but they are all just bogus.... at this time anyways, since I have yet to see it come in my dang mailbox!

But, the request was easy and they were VERY nice.

I'm afraid not! Unless you use Boot Camp or other virtual software to run Windows on your MacBook.
