Installing PS Elements 10 on macOS Sierra

Hi,

I recently bought a new MacBook and need to install a purchased PS Elements 10.  I downloaded the software from Adobe.  When I double-click on the "install" icon the message below comes up ... I don't understand why it is saying install is on the disk image.

I tired clicking on "Eject this Image" and nothing happens.  What should I do to get to the serial number entry screen?

Regards,

Wm

    Your new Mac operating system is not fully compatible with your old program

    CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated for Mac El Capitan/Sierra

    -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 Sierra

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

    --help links and an Adobe solution to installing old programs are here https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2301916
