    IF Mac El Capitan read below

    CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated to run on Mac El Capitan

    -which means that you try to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems

    -you may get CS6 and earlier programs to install and run, or you may not (some do, some don't)

    -IF not, post details of any error messages and someone may be able to help (just not Adobe)

    That MAY be a false error message due to Mac El Capitan and OLD programs

    This information is a MUST DO to install old programs on Mac El Capitan

    -you may not get the same error message, but these are some links that MAY help with old programs

    -Java https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/dreamweaver-java-se-6-runtime.html may help

    Install CS5 on Mac 10.11 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2003455 may help (also for other than CS5)

    -also a TEMPORARY security change https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2039319

    try using another wired connection and/or another browser and/or a download manager or dl from prodesigntools.com.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html

    and activate with your serial number.

    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 

    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 

    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.
