Question

CS5 will not register [seeking CS5 updates for DW & PS]

Hello (again),

After getting more Apple hardware, with Mojave (1) or High Sierra (2) OS' installed,

still hitting roadblocks. 1st I tried Mojave where too many conditions were imposed.

Now I also run a 27" with High Sierra,  both reminding me of years ago when things

weren't as complicated as they are now, especially with OS Catalina + Adobe Cloud.

On H.S. I managed to install both DW CS5 & Photoshop CS5-11. Neither show up in

my Adobe acct., older sw's which I no longer use do.

Previously I was advised here to update DW for smoother running. As much as I try,

I can't get it done. If there is a solution, please provide 'step by step' since I never had

to face issues like these...

With Thanks.

CS5 is discontinued, unsupported and more than a decade out of date.  The last available update came out in 2011.  There's been nothing since then.

Suffice it to say, nobody should be using outdated web authoring software in 2022. The web has changed too much.

 

Re-registering  is not required to use the product.  But ACTIVATION is.  To connect to Adobe's activation servers, you need a stable internet connection with a computer OS & browser that has TLS 1.2 or higher protocols enabled.

Mojave meets that standard.

Okay Nancy...

What about DW CS3 having run smoothly without a hitch for years until Adobe pulled the rug a few months ago..?

Both, PhShp + DW CS5 are installed and open on the iMac with OS Sierra H. Somewhere else you had posted to

update DW CS5 after installing. If I understand correctly, with Mojave that will be possible. I will try to that.

Thank U.

CS3 activation servers aged out & died many years ago.  But that's not the topic. You asked about CS5 updates to which I posted a direct link to the last available update for DW CS5 from 2011. 

 

Beyond that, I don't know.  Maybe someone else knows where to find an update for discontinued Photoshop CS5.
