Last updated on Apr 14, 2025

Learn how to transfer Adobe apps from your previous computer to a new Mac with Apple silicon.

To use your Adobe apps on your new Mac:

  1. Uninstall the apps from your previous computer.

  2. Reinstall the apps on your new Mac to start using them.

  3. If you want to use Migration Assistant for transferring the apps, deselect the option to migrate your apps or uninstall your Adobe apps from your old device before migrating.

  4. Use the Migration Assistant to migrate your Adobe apps from your old computer to Mac computers with Apple silicon.

Note:

If you’ve already used the Migration Assistant, run the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to remove Adobe apps and components that were copied to the new computer. Once the apps are entirely removed, you can install your Adobe apps on your new computer.
