Well, do you know that software is written specifically for each operating system?
You cannot install the same version that you installed on PC. For Ableton it should be easy just download the MAC installer. Most software offers both options. Some (like Adobe) does not.

I guess you have never done much tech support. Classic? No. Typical. Yes.
