I purchased CS Design & Web Premium for Mac a couple of years ago but have just upgraded to a MacBook Pro.  So how do I download the software onto my new Mac?

    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)

    This information is a MUST DO to install old programs on Mac El Capitan

    -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
