    Yes there is actually a 12.0.5 update that you can install after installing the 12.0.4 update:

    Thank you Thank you Thank you.

     

    Despite what some have assumed, I have been all over the Community,

    All the links were active at one time but not now.

     

    I "ran" it on my "test bed"

    and so far so good.

    Actually the installer did not run

    but the message indicated something was changed but installation failed.

    And it works, I can do all the Type manipulations I want.

    Just confirmed fix by checking with CS5 on my Production setup.

    touching Type killed CS5 in a flash ; )

    of course, nothing is easy for those on the trailing edge.

    I had to figure out how to run the installer on my system.

    Got'er Done.

    Will stay on "test bed" for a while

    cannot afford to crash what I already have running.

     

    Your help is much appreciated : )

    not an expert but have been on Photoshop since Mac OS 7.

    Even have early version on floppy (well stiff) discs.

    @pat_2962 like 15 years late?! You may need to do a search on the forum, here is one from @John T Smith 

    You are allowed 2 activations... if you did not DE-activate previous installs you may not proceed

     

    For serial number programs you may download only if you bought direct from Adobe
    -Log in to your Adobe account and click this link https://account.adobe.com/products
    --IF a download is available there will be a Download button under the program name
    ---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 always have what you need
    ---since Adobe DOES sometimes remove very old downloads from their file server
    -if you did not buy direct from Adobe 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 and lost a CD/DVD disc Adobe does not provide a replacement
    -if you bought a download from a 3rd party vendor you will need to contact that vendor

    I was A-OK just a few days ago

    when I made CS5 mad somehow

    and broke my Type functionality : (
