It cost a bit, but it's cheaper than to buy a whole new license. Unless you find someone who wants to trade their Mac license for your Windows license, the Adobe "platform upgrade" is the way to go. /Petra Hall

I'm sure this is a legitimate way around things, as long as you have bought a genuine old copy. -- K e v i n --
