Installer is no longer available

Question

I bought a new PC this week and I downloaded and installed my existing purchased Lightroom 5 by registering on account/adobe.com/products and I think getting a serial number. It worked and I had Lightroom installed.

Yesterday, I got a new, larger SSD and installed that with a fresh install of Windows, then I wiped the drive with Lightroom on it. (oops...)

Now, when I go to download the Lightroom installer, its says, for Windows and for Mac, that the installer is no longer available. So I can't download the software installer even though I did exactly that two days ago.

How might I be able to download the installer??

When you download any file... be that a program or anything else you purchase, you should always copy that file to an external device in case your hard drive fails

I do not know how far back this process will go, but try this link
-NOTE that you will have to search the site for your specific download
Direct Download Links https://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl MAY help
-you MUST do what it says in Note: Very Important Instructions
-https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2015-direct-download-links.html#download-instructions
-the prodesign links go directly to Adobe's file server, so this process will
--only work until Adobe completely removes the old version(s) from the server
.
IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
-since Adobe does sometimes remove old versions from the server
-a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a DVD
-plus a text file containing your serial number if you have a serial number program
