you must download the installation file that exactly matches your serial number.  prodesigntools.com downloads are for the individual north american (and western europe - thanks @AxelMatt ) versions, only.  other serial numbers will be reported as invalid (for that download).

 

your serial number consists of 6 groups of 4 numbers.   there are several possible ways to find/recover an adobe serial number.

 

1. search purchased materials: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/find-serial-number.html

 

2. you can check your account (if you purchased from or registered with adobe AND you remember the adobe id used to purchase/register), https://accounts.adobe.com

 

3. if your adobe program is installed on another computer you can recover its serial number from that computer,

Are you sure?

 

As far as I see there are also versions for Europe.

Please see here: https://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html

 

I'll recommend to save the download files on an USB stick, hard drive or CD/DVD, but it isn't sure how long these links are available.  

 
Many thanks to jim @ prodesigntools.com

You would need a supporting computer, valid serial number and previously purchased license.  CS5 and CS6 are on life support.  Nobody knows how much longer they will be available.

Log-in to your online account.  If it's still available, you should see a download link.

If you're using Windows 11, it might be best to get modern software.  10+ year old software isn't guaranteed to work on new OSs.
