How to install photoshop without a cd/dvd drive if cd version was already purchased

I purchased photoshop elements 13 in cd format instead of online some time ago, and have recently changed computers. I would like to install it on my new computer (mac) however, it does not have a cd or dvd drive because they are becoming obsolete due to the new changes and innovations in technology. I know that one option would be to buy an external cd / dvd drive and install it that way, but they cost around $70+. Is there is any other way to install or download the application without having to purchase it again?

    the above should help you if you need premiere elements, but for photoshop elements;

                                      

    Downloadable installation files available:

    Download and installation help for Adobe links

    Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages.  They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3.  If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.
