Changing platforms via an upgrade is the easiest route. You just buy the upgrade version of the suite for the new platform and when you do the installation it will probably reject your existing product key. You ring up Adobe support and explain the situation and they will give you a new one that will work (don't forget to write that one down) and away you go. I've converted a couple of suites this way and also dealt with products that have been upgraded so many times that the original product key no longer worked (originally you kept the same key when upgrading, now they give you a new one) and each time Adobe support was very helpful.
