    When you ask a question you need to provide some basic information

    -Forum quick start https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-5601

    Mac or Windows, and EXACTLY which version of the operating system?

    Recent Mac AND Windows operating systems have been known to cause "odd" problems

    Are you using a computer Administrator account with full read/write permission?

    What is the exact error message that you see?

    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)

    -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

    -and more on gatekeeper https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT202491

    IF Windows 10 read below

    Cloud & Win10 https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/Windows_10_compatibility_FAQ.html

    -also, only CURRENT products will be tested and updated for compatibility with Windows 10

    -so if you have an older program, you update to Windows 10 at YOUR risk of problems

    -you may get CS6 and earlier programs to install and run, or you may not (some do, some don't)

    An idea that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10... works for some, not for others

    -http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/15523-compatibility-mode-settings-apps-change-windows-10-a.html

    -or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)

    Sorry

    It is Windows 10

    I previously had it as stand alone and did not use any of the cloud service. I did not know where to go to load the program from. I have my serial number that I got from my about.
