Downloading Adobe CS5 Creative Suite to an old mac (because current mac will not work).

Question

HiI'm currently working on a Mac, which is 10 years old and Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5, which is about 8 years old.In the event that my Mac breaks down, is there anyway I can reinstall my Adobe software to a new 'old' Mac. I have have the serial number to the software, but can't seem to find anywhere within my ID to reinstall it.I can't imagine I would be able to reinstall the software on a new Mac, due it not being compatible. But I should be able to install it onto an older Mac, especially as I've already paid over £1000 for it in the first place.Any help would be much appreciated.Thank youRichard

Adobe has removed ALL public download links for serial number programs
-links are ONLY available to someone who purchased a download from Adobe

For serial number programs you may download ONLY if you bought direct from Adobe via download
-Log-in to your Adobe account and click this link https://account.adobe.com/products
--click Order history on the left and then the link to your order that will show on the right
--and finally click the link "Downloads and serial numbers" that will appear
---as always, write the serial number in a text file AND copy that text file and the
---download file(s) to an external drive (or two) to be sure you have what you need
-if you did not buy direct from Adobe via download you must find your original install
-if you have an Education or volume license you MUST use your original media
--the link for an Education or volume license download is not available at all
-if you bought a disc and don't have a drive you will need to buy an external USB drive
-if you bought and lost a disc Adobe does not provide a replacement via download
-if you bought a download from a 3rd party vendor you will need to contact that vendor
.
When you have a download, ALWAYS copy it to at least one external device
-a usb flash drive or hard drive, or write to a CD or DVD
-plus a text file containing your serial number
