to start, you need 64 bit apps for sonoma.  everything adobe prior to cs6 (and some cs6) is 32 bit.

Besides the fact that none of those applications will work on a new Mac you posted in the InDesign forum which (given those versions) also will not install or run on a new Mac.

Unclear if you mean version 5 (1998) or CS5 (2010).

 

Either way, those versions are too old to be installed on macOS Sonoma.

 

Only the latest Cloud (subscription) versions of Photoshop and Illustrator will run on Sonoma so you'll need to subscribe to an Adobe Cloud plan.
