What Mac Os Was Adobe Cs5 Made For?
Adobe Audition, a professional audio program for recording, mixing, editing, and mastering will soon be available for the Mac.
The software, now at version 3.0 on the Windows platform, offers an audio editing environment for fine-tuning single files or creating multi-track mixes. It also features audio restoration tools, enabling users to transform problem recordings into usable soundtracks.
Adobe InDesign CS5 for Mac OS X v.7.0.4 Advertisement Design professional layouts for print and digital publishing Adobe® InDesign® CS5 software provides precise control over typography and built-in creative tools for designing, preflighting, and publishing documents for print, online, or to mobile devices.
“Audition has long been a favorite tool for audio editing because of its audio restoration features and the ability to edit audio visually,' said Elaine Montoya, CEO and founder of Zocoloco Studios. 'Because I work on a Mac, I've been limited to what ProTools has to offer. Now that Audition is going to be on the Mac, it will definitely be my tool of choice for creating high-end audio for our studio's motion graphics and video projects.”
The Mac version of Audition will not be available immediately. Adobe intends to make a public beta available on the Adobe Labs Website by the end of this year (Winter, 2010) to solicit feedback from the Mac community before finalizing the software for commercial release. Customers can sign up today to be notified when the beta is available. Adobe has not specified a timetable for when a commercial version will be ready. The Mac version of Audition will be Intel-only and compatible with OS X 10.5, 10.6, and any future updates of the Mac OS.
Key features of the upcoming Adobe Audition for Mac will include: Multi-channel support for 5.1 surround sound; noise reduction and restoration capabilities; and new audio effects, including de-hummer, de-esser, and volume leveler.
“Audition has been a really popular, really versatile audio tool that’s been on Windows for many years,' said Ellen Wixted, Adobe's product marketing manager of professional video solutions. 'It combines a single wave editing view with a multitrack mixing view. But what has always and continues to set Audition apart is that it has some of the best audio restoration capabilities available...and makes it easy to go in and fix a wide range of audio problems.'
How will the Mac version of Audition compare with Soundbooth CS5, the audio component of Adobe's Creative Suite? “Soundbooth is designed for people who don’t have deep roots in audio. It offers some of the same functionality; you can record into it, you can do simple editing, and multitrack mixes, but the level of control and the professional depth of the tools is much greater in Audition than it is in Soundbooth,” Wixted said.
The Adobe Audition 3 Windows version is priced at $349, with upgrades available for $99.
I know that Keychain holds my WiFi and other passwords, but I'm curious to know where my Adobe and Microsoft product keys for things like CS6 and Office live. I'm using OS X Mavericks.

There's no generic OS X place for storing product keys. It is up to each individual software supplier to decide where they want to store the products. Usually it is done in ordinary files stored in the file system.
For Microsoft they reside in /Library/Preferences/ under a name such as com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist.
Similarly for Adobe I think they are in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/<product>/<product> Registration
As a user you don't really need to know where it is stored as the programs handle product key management themselves.

For adobe CS5, look in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache/cache.db: this is a sqlite database (you can open it with sqlite3).
Then run the query:
This should give you a 24-numbers encrypted serial number. You must then decrypt it (the 'SoftKey Revealer' freeware for Windows has a decryption tool, you can also run it using wine on Linux and possibly Mac OS).
If you re-install, you might need to enter your trial serial key at installation, and then enter your product key at the activation step. For the trial serial, see the other answer from mspasov.
y3shAnother way to decrypt the serial number, as opposed to downloading freeware tainted by evil payloads (at least one download site for 'Softkey Revealer' has taint) is to run a simple JavaScript function (copied from elsewhere, but tested and works):

Adobe registration info (for most recent Adobe CC products) is stored at /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/. There is a SQLite file, containing the keys. Here is a partial dump:
