Yeah, but doing that "the official way" he has two different activations connected to his AdobeID. One activation created by Windows (which is shared by all different ADE versions in Windows) and one activation created by MacOS (which is shared by all different ADE versions in MacOS). To Adobe this looks like two different computers, even if it's the same machine.
By using the plugin on a Mac, importing an existing authorization from MacOS ADE, this one single activation will change between Windows and MacOS all the time (if you keep using ADE), which normally isn't possible as switching OSes would mean using another authorization. This means Adobe could detect that your single authorization is switching OSes and then determine that you're doing something weird. Whether they would ban people for that - no idea.
