Hi Ken,
A little extra info, following on from the previous post.
As Profilemaker is USB dongle protected, simply downloading the Windows version (free) from X-Rite will be sufficient. I use it on both Mac and XP machines.
If that is a problem (assuming you are using an EyeOne device) EyeOneMatch should also always work for a display profile (also free download). EyeOneMatch was designed to use the EyeOne device as the equivalent of a dongle.
(I concur that it is inadvisable to attempt to move the profile between machines.)

If your display profiling product is cross-platform, and you can download the version for the other platform for free to use with your same serial number, then you are all set to profile both systems. If not, you aren't really in a position to calibrate both systems.
