Problem moving CS5 to new computer

I am trying to move my CS5 to my new laptop. The original media was on discs, and the new computer does not have a disc drive. I downloaded the direct download from the Adobe site, but it does not accept the original serial number. Does this have anything to do with it being an Education Edition? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    I have the same problem. Tried to redownload but my account is no longer recognised. Did you get it resolved?

    So you have the Education version on disc and your new computer does not have a DVD drive?

     

    Buy a USB external DVD drive for under $30
