Hi Terris, many thanks for your post! It worked out in the end! Details are given below. Maybe others can benefit from them. Download: So now I tried to download CS5 from my 10.6.8 disk, a combination I did not try before. Entered Adobe.com in the address bar. It opens a page that is all about "Get Photoshop in the Creative Cloud". The header with the Support link is missing. Instead, there is a footer saying "6 errors occured when opening the page". That was Safari. Trying to install Firefox is excluded, "Your system does not meet the requirements to run Firefox". Next stop Windows 7, Firefox. - That worked!! BTW I didn't download the german version, but the english one. Install: Install on 10.11.6 went smoothly until: "To register your software and set up access to Adobe CS Live online services, enter or create an Adobe ID." Entering mine returned "Network error. Please try again later." This looped until I clicked "Skip this step." Then it installed, ending with "Getting Started. [...]You will be reminded to provide an Adobe ID when using your software". I hope this does not mean 'acitvate', and that again will not work... The first attempt to open CS5 results again (like with CS3 on 10.11.6) in "To open Adobe PS CS5.app you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I don't want to do that with my current system. So I uninstalled it using the Uninstaller, then installed on 10.6.8. Here, the install and activation go without problems. At the end of the install, it says "Could not start your Adobe CS live subscription. Tray again later." No need. No Java alert on first opening. So far, so good! - However: This seems to be CS5.0. If memory serves me, 5.1 was a pretty essential bug fixing update in its time. This does not seem to be for download anywhere. Would anybody know better?
