I'm installing Dreamweaver, part of CS5 Design/Web on my new laptop Win11. The programme is a pepetual one. The activationcode (see attachment) was accepted during installation. But not using the programme. On my old laptop there is no problem. I found a deactivation option on the old laptop. But it did not work. In my adobe account the programme is not mentioned.

Chatting with Adobe, Madhu gave me this community to get an activationcode.

Hope you can help.

    @Jacqueline257533636e0j,

    Legacy Creative Suite was never tested on Win11.  We make no guarantees this will work.

     

    CS5 is discontinued & unsupported. That's the risk you take with outdated software from 14-15 years ago.

     

    MODERN OPTION:
    Dreamweaver on Creative Cloud plan
    https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html

    Thanks you for your honest answer. It helps. I won't go to a creative plan for a programme I'm using twice a year. So thank you for the other editors.

    The forum is not Adobe Customer Care, we cannot give you an activation number of any kind. The vast majority of users here are not Adobe employees and have no access to your account with Adobe.

    Madhu was mistaken as to what we could provide and likely needs a refresher course in what the forum is for.

    That being said, is ther any error popping up when you attempt to open the program?
