I'm building a new computer system and wanted to make sure I could reinstall my CS5 Production Suite on the new system. I have all my DVD's and my key codes, do I have to do anything so Adobe doesn't think I am installing it on a second PC ?

you can't prevent the installer from recognizing the new computer is different from your older computer.

I realize that, I don't think you understood my question. Knowing that the Adobe installer will know it is a new computer, how do I let it know I am installing my product on a new computer I am building and not installing it on an additional computer?

you are installing (and presumably activating) it on an additional computer.  you are limited to two concurrent activations.

 

if you don't intend to use your cs5 on an older computer, deactivate (help>deactivate) it before uninstalling.
