How do I reinstall previously purchased CS 5.5?

Question

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard several years ago.  My MacBook Air needed to be "cleaned" up and they deleted my CS 5.5.  How do I reinstall on my computer?

You install the same way you did the 1st time... put your disc in the drive and enter your serial number when asked, or download the installer and enter your serial number when asked

Below is if your operating system is not compatible

CS6 and earlier programs HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED AND WILL NOT BE UPDATED for Mac El Capitan or newer 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 newer operating systems

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

Do you still have a compatible system, or did "they" also install a new system which won't run old apps?
