Building safe & secure websites are not fun & games anymore. The web is shark-infested waters for folks who don't know what they don't know about cybersecurity, privacy laws, and web accessibility.  Site ownership is complicated enough without going down the coding rabbit hole all alone.     Most people have shifted to CMSs (content management systems) that do most of the heavy lifting for them, so they can focus more on content. WordPress is an open source option. But it's not plug & play & walk away. You need to know how to lock your WP site down to protect it from unwanted hackers & other malicious threats. Webflow & Squarespace are other good options, but you'll pay more for that extra convenience & ease of use.   Ask yourself the following questions: What do I need my site to do for me? Be specific. Do I have all the required skills to achieve this goal? What's my budget? How much time will I be able to devote to this? Is my personal time worth more to me than I would spend on a CMS?   ... View more

Yes, I can be pissed. It was working on an old system which died. By @paulkinz ========== I'm sorry for your loss, but I neither work for Adobe nor make the software. I'm just an unpaid forum volunteer and long-time product user like you.    The path from darkness starts with a flick of the light switch.    When you see all that modern Photoshop can do, you'll kick yourself for not trying it sooner.

There are no technical conditions or reasons why Adobe Indesign Standard 5.5 should not run on Windows 11. I have it installed on Windows 10 Pro and it runs perfect.   By @Michael-555 ========== If you say so. 1. The support window for CS5 ended 3 years after your purchase.  Read your EULA.  2.

CS5.5 came out in 2011 and was built for use on WinXP.  At that time, it had an expected shelf-life of 3 to 5 years, after which you were expected to upgrade.    There's no guarantee that a product that old will perform properly on Win11.

The aged-out activation servers are tired and ill-performing after 15 years of continuous service. Nothing that old lasts forever.     Besides, CS5 was built for WinXP, not Win11.  Even if you could activate it, there's no guarantee that CS5 would perform as expected on the latest operating systems. Too much has changed since 2010.    You've gotten many years of use from a product that had a shelf-life of 3-5 years.
