Adobe creative suite 5.5 and Windows 11

[Mara257535098pl2]

Does adobe creative suite 5.5 work on Windows 11?

[kglad]

yes, but it may not be easy.  a number of people have posted about recent problems activating their cs5 and cs6 programs.  cs5.5 is going to have the same issues which don't really seem related some much to the programs themselves, but users use of older os'es with browsers not having tls 1.2 support.  that shouldn't be an issue for a win 11 user.

of course, you'll need a valid serial number (6 groups of 4 numbers) to activate, and you may need to use compatibility mode to install, but compatibility mode has a part of windows (including win 11) for a long time.  Run Older Programs in Compatibility Mode in Windows 11/10 (online-tech-tips.com)

CS5 is discontinued & unsupported.  It's never been tested on Win11 and never will be.

We can make no guarantees it will work on your system.

You can gamble & try it or just hold on to Win10 until you're ready to replace with modern software.
