Problem downloading CS5 onto MacBook Pro

Question

I am trying to download a copy of CS5 onto a new MacBook Pro. I already have a registered copy on my iMac and need to put it on the mac book. We do not have a CD drive so am doing the digital download. It downloaded, but when I try to launch it comes up with this message. I am on Sierra 10.12.5 and have done the troubleshooting section advised by adobe but this hasn't worked. I have also contacted my Apple reseller and they have told me it should work and suggested I contact Adobe. Please Help!! I'm at a stand still at the moment! Thanks.

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

--several help links and Adobe solution to Apple's problem inside this message https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2301916

Try Installing Creative Suite on macOS 10.12 (Sierra)
