reinstalling lightroom 5 on a new computer

I've had lightroom installed on my PC for a few years now, I recently got a MAC. How do I reinstall the program onto my new computer? I can't find any options for this.

    This isn't an answer at all...just an attempt to force people to use CC which they will have to pay for OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER....plus have all your edits and work held hostage in perpetuity.

     

    I own lightroom 5...bought it 5 years ago....

    not only will you not offer a download link for lightroom 5 (only for CC)....

    but you make it so my old serial number doesn't work anymore?  ADOBE IS SHADY AS HELL

    Adobe no longer sells or supports that old program

     

    Why did you not copy your download to AT LEAST one external device?

     

    I do not know how far back this process will go, but try this link
    -NOTE that you will have to search the site for your specific download
    Direct Download Links https://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl MAY help
    -you MUST do what it says in Note: Very Important Instructions
    -https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2015-direct-download-links.html#download-instructions
    -the prodesign links go directly to Adobe's file server, so this process will
    --only work until Adobe completely removes the old version(s) from the server
    .
    IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
    -since Adobe does sometimes remove old versions from the server
    -a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a DVD
    -plus a text file containing your serial number if you have a serial number program
