Downloading my CS5 Adobe Suite to my new Macbook Pro

Question

Hi There,I am trying to figure out how to download Adobe Suite CS5 to my new macbook but am having trouble. I have tried downloading the programs from this link: Download Adobe Creative Suite 5 products but it is not working. I have attached a screenshot of the window that keeps popping up when I try to download. I have the serial number of my old program that I retrieved through my adobe account so it is really just a matter of being able to download the programs onto my new laptop. Thank you in advance for your help!

CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated for Mac El Capitan or later operating systems

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

-Apple did not maintain backward compatibility with old programs in El Capitan or Sierra

--Adobe has a workaround to Apple's problem of not maintaining backward compatibility

--READ HERE https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2301916 for an Adobe solution to installing old programs, including a link to installing the old Java runtime that is required

That's pretty optimistic. New Mac, new apps, is the general rule. Some people seem to have made CS5 mostly work, though.

This particular issue looks like an expired certificate. You could try setting your computer's date back to the days when CS5 was released.
