Windows CO LE license on a Mac?

Derekasaurus Rex
I purchased CO LE (Win) to use primarily on my WinXP desktop, but I am considering getting an Apple laptop (MacBook most likely). I have used one LE activation on my Windows PC, so can I use the other remaining activation on a Mac (running OS X, of course, not Windows using Parallels or Boot Camp). Or will I have to purchase a new license for OS X? I've tried to find the answer to this in the documentation but haven't had any luck. Thanks.

    Hello

    Sorry to say the LE licens does not allow this.

    Your options are:
    1. Buy a second licens for Mac.
    2. Upgrade you LE to PRO which allow activations on both Win and Mac.

    Thanks for the reply, though it's not what I wanted to hear. I don't need PRO's features and the $429 price tag is prohibitive, so buying a second LE Mac license for $99 seems much more reasonable.

    Will I be able to use the same account/login to keep track of activations on the Mac and PC side if I have two licenses, or will I need a separate account for my new Mac license (if I decide to purchase one)?

    Sorry, not sure I understand. Is it A or B:

    A) I can use my current account, the one associated with my Windows LE activations, to track the activations of a newly-purchased Mac license

    B) I must create a new account separate from the one I currently use to track WIndows LE activations to track any activations on a newly-purchased Mac license

    Thanks.
