Hi guys , I bought CS5.5 a couple of years ago. So I wanted to install the programms on my new macbook. Unfortunately it has no hard drive anymore, therefore I downloaded the programm on the Adobe website and this is what came up:

It basically says that it can not open the program and that I should delete it. Any ideas what I can do?

    CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated for Mac El Capitan/Sierra

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

    -Adobe has a fix to Apple's problem of not maintaining backward compatibility in El Capitan/Sierra

    -also install OLD Java runtime if needed https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572?locale=en_US
