Adobe CS5, student and teacher edition reuse

Question

Hi there,

In 2012 when I was a student at Leeds University I purchased the CS5 student/teacher edition and used only one installation on my Macbook pro. My Macbook has just broken down and I will need to buy a new computer and would like to reuse my CS5 discs for the second installation.

My first question is: Will I be able to use the second download (from disc) on my new laptop as usual? I no longer use my student email address but have the discs and serial codes. Please let me know.

Secondly, the CS5 discs are for MAC OS so I presume can only be used on Macs, is that correct? This will inform my new laptop purchase.

Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary,

Yes, Adobe CS5 products were platform specific hence if it says Mac OS on the disc then the serial number will only work with Mac OS.

As you will be buying a new machine it would come loaded with the latest operating system.

NOTE: Officially the last version of Mac OS compatible with Adobe CS5 was 10.6.3, see: Adobe - Creative Suite 5 Master Collection: System requirements. Please be aware that Creative Suite applications are not supported on macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or higher and therefore, many of the Creative Suite installers may not function normally on macOS 10.12 or higher.

CS5 is a pretty old software and Adobe has not tested it on any of the latest operating systems post Mac OS 10.6.3. Hence it may or may not work, you may also have compatibility issues.

However, you may try installing the product using the workaround given here: Installing Creative Suite on macOS 10.12 (Sierra).

Let us know if this helps.
