    Is there a way to transfer Photoshop CS5 between computers without the disk? I bought a new laptop and need to transfer my software from one computer to another. I have my serial number but can't locate my disk.

    I am trying to do the same thing (install CS5 on new computer with serial number only). I follow the link provided by Sumit_Singh but it takes me to a general page, and I don't see a CS5 download anywhere, only Photoshop Elements. I search CS5 as well and can't find it. Where is the exact link to download CS5?

    For CS6 back to CS4 you may download ONLY if you bought direct from Adobe via download
    -Log-in to your account and click this link https://account.adobe.com/products
    --click Order history on the left and then the link to your order that will show on the right
    --and finally click the link "Downloads and serial numbers" that will appear
    --as always, write the serial number in a text file AND copy that text file and the
    ---download file(s) to an external drive (or two) to be sure you have what you need
    -if you did not buy direct from Adobe via download you must find your original install
    --if you have an Education or volume license you MUST use your original media
    --the link for an Education or volume license download is not available at all
    -if you bought a disc and don't have a drive you will need to buy an external USB drive
    -if you bought a download from a 3rd party vendor you will need to contact that vendor

    using the other computer copy the all DVD files to the flash drive.

    Use the same flash drive to install the software for your Mac.

    Also if needed please copy the files from flash drive to troubleshooting computer and start the installation from copied files.

    Download the trial version and use your serial number with that.

    Is there a download available for CS5? I've looked on the adobe website and can only find CS6.
