Hello! I need help with Adobe Dreamweaver CS5. It stopped working on my Mac.

OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6

I uninstalled Dreamweaver and now have no way to reinstall.

I do see my serial number in my account.

Thank you in advance!

Okay, I found a way to get help through Adobe Chat... They told me even though I bought Dreamweaver in 2013, it no longer works on my Mac and I am out of luck. AND will have to BUY dreamweaver CS6 now. Thank you for your time. So the solution is to spend more money on a new program I already bought. Boo.

-and many help and download links https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html

-kglad links in reply #1 here https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2296468 may help

-you will need to enter your original serial number during install for non-Cloud programs

Of course, having the install files and your serial number does not mean you won't have problems

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

-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
