I just got a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro and it says I need to reinstall my Photoshop and InDesign CS5, but I no longer have the CD.  If I have my serial number, is there another way I can reinstall it?

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.


Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

If I download the trial version can I then buy it and get a licence key?
I am trying to do some tutorials on a forum and they are all written in CS5.
Thank you!

no. cs5 is no longer (legally) sold, though you can buy illegally sold copies.

 

and there are tutorials for currently sold (legal) cc software that do everything cs5 does, and alot more.
