Hello,

I previously bought CS5 extended when I was à student. My old computer back then had a CD slot so i could put the CD somewhere. Now I have an IMac, so I downloaded the CS5 extended, but when i want to instal it it "Install" is damaged and can't be open."

I don't understand because i dowloaded it on Adobe not on a random website. Please help me

You posted in a message about CS5

CS5 is END OF LIFE and is no longer supported by Adobe

IF Mac El Capitan read below

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

Ok... so it means I've spent 200 bucks for something that I can't use anymore on a computer that I chose?

Did you try the steps I posted to tell your new Mac to allow the install?

Also, CS5 is over 5 years old and was not designed for Mac El Capitan
