Does Adobe Creative Suite CS 5.5 Production Premium work with El Capitan OS?

Hi, I am using a MacBook Pro (Late 2011) and am currently running OS Lion. I have run into a lot of hiccups recently as many of my Apple software programs (including iTunes... my iPhone will no longer communicate with my computer) will not update anymore. So, I am being forced to upgrade my OS operating system to OS El Capitan. Will my Adobe Creative Suite CS 5.5 Production Premium work with this operating system? I've been dealing with health problems for over a year now, and am getting back to work as an animator, artist, and film maker. I desperately need my CS 5.5 to work and cannot afford to pay for a subscription service (CC) at this time. Any help would be incredible! This is a list of Adobe Software that I use daily:

Photoshop CS 5.1

After Effects CS 5.5

After Effects CS 3

Premier Pro CS 5.5

Audition CS 5.5

Illustrator CS 5.1

Media Encoder CS 5.5

InDesign CS 3

On Encore CS 5.1

Correct answer John T Smith

CS6 AND EARLIER are not supported on El Capitan, so if you have problems, you will not get an update to fix the problems

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

Thank you. I've already read that, what I need to know is if El Capitan being a new operating system will allow an older program to function within it. Autodesk Maya will work fine, but I am having difficulties finding a definitive answer to weather or not my Adobe programs will work with a newer Mac operating system.
