Adobe suite CS5 - buying new macbook, need help

I currently have a macbook pro 10.10. It is running my adobe suite CS5 just fine. But my computer is getting old, running slower and i want to get a new one.

I do NOT want to have to repurchase adobe suite, or switch to cloud.

I received the suite 5 years ago from my college. Therefore I do not have an invoice or a receipt.
I will need a new code / find my serial number to be able to install the same programs I ALREADY OWN onto my new computer.

I have tried talking to online chat reps with no help.

Someone please help me.

Of course, your CS5 is probably not going to work on a new computer

CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated to run on Mac El Capitan

-which means that you try to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems

-you may get CS6 and earlier programs to install and run, or you may not (some do, some don't)

-Java https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/dreamweaver-java-se-6-runtime.html may help

Install CS5 on Mac 10.11 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2003455 may help (also for other than CS5)

-also a TEMPORARY security change https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2039319
