I have been using CS4 on a 2008 Mac Pro and getting ready to upgrade to a new Mac. Sometime over the last few years I have lost my install disks. Is there anyway to get replacement disks? Thank you!

    No, but you may download the install files

    Download & Install instructions https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2003339 may help

    -includes a way to go to a page to download Adobe programs if you don't have a disc or drive

    -you will need to enter your original serial number during install for non-Cloud programs
