I'm running my CS5.5 on a very old computer which I'm taking out of service, and need to move it to a new computer. Unfortunately I can no longer find my original discs. I thought I was able to download the software using the serial number but I can't seem to make that work. Tech support chat told me to ask in these forums.

Thanks!

If I recall correctly, I think that CS5.5 download versions had different serial numbers than the disc versions.

@Wildrose5C2F,

FYI, Creative Suite is not compatible with new operating systems -- macOS Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey or PCs with Win 11.

Legacy Creative Suite installers won't work on macOS Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave without terminal workarounds. See the help article below.

Most modern Creative Cloud Apps ARE compatible with new OSs.

I do not know how far back this process will go, but try...
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

If the Prodesign site doesn't have a link for that very old version, you are out of luck... nobody in a public forum can help
