Legacy Creative Suite is not compatible with 64-bit Catalina, Big Sur or Monterey.  Sorry.

 

As @John T Smith said, you need an old computer OS that can support old software.  Failing that, these are your options.

 

Photoshop Elements or Premier Elements (approx $100, no subscription needed).

(It needs to be an old computer, because a new Mac computer won't run an old system. Apple have forced your hand: when you upgrade your Mac you must budget for all new apps. It's part of the Joy Of Mac!)

1 - install an old, compatible operating system on your Mac

2 - buy all new programs that are fully 64bit
