Re-install of Creative Suite files on new iMac

Because I used Migration Assistant to transfer all my files to my new iMac, I had to Un-install Creative Suite.   Do I need to download the CS files again in order to Re-install them, or do the downloaded files still exist on my new machine (even tho I've done the Un-install)  ?   If the files are already there, how are they identified, and what do I do with them to "Install" them?    If the files are NOT there, how do arrange another download of my originally purchased files?  (I have the serial numbers, if necessary)

Thank you.

    You should download new installation files.  The uninstall does just that.  It removes the useful parts of the programs from your system.  Whether or not you have the original downloads on your system is unknown.  Since you did the uninstall, it will be an added good measure if you run the CS CLeaner Tool before reinstalling to help clear up any loose ends in the original installation.

    Hello Ned.... Do I NEED to do another download?  or do I already have the downloaded files?   Does the Uninstall delete all the downloaded files, or does it just un-do the 'installation' process?    I'm not  understanding the function

    of an Uninstall.

    Thanks ;-)
