I bought a new laptop using operating system OS X El Capitan.  I own and have the serial number on my DVD but no DVD drive.

    Charlotteb19052223 you can download a fresh copy of the retail installation files at Download Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4) products .  I would also recommend reviewing Installing Creative Suite on macOS 10.12 (Sierra) which discusses necessary workarounds to allow Creative Suite 4 to install under macOS 10.12.

    I have tried this but it downloads and then nothing to install.  or at least I can't see it.  It gives me this, but nothing happens.  Doesn't ask for my serial number anywhere.  What I am missing?

    Charlotteb19052223 you need to open up the installation package and drag the Install Unix Executable to the Terminal window per the directions in the workaround in post #1 of this discussion.

    If you are double clicking on the Adobe Photoshop CS4.app then you are not opening up the package per the directions in the workaround.
