You can swap the platform or language of a single-user product to a different platform or language of the same product. Swap if you've been using the product on a particular platform or language and then change your operating system or require a different language version.

Note: If you purchased the incorrect platform or language version of your product, return the product:

• If you purchased from Adobe, see Return or change Adobe orders | North America, Return, cancel, or change an Adobe order | Europe, the Middle East, Arica, Asia Pacific.
• If you purchased from a reseller, contact the reseller to arrange for a product exchange or return. The reseller can determine if you qualify for a return or exchange.

You can swap only current versions. If you have a previous version, you cannot swap to a different platform or language of the previous version--instead, it's necessary to upgrade. Place upgrade orders directly with Adobe Sales (see the Contact Adobe page for your region for information on how to contact Sales). Upgrade prices are applicable (if available for the product you are swapping), plus shipping costs.
