Building a new computer and want to be able to reinstall my CS5 Production Suite on the new system

I'm building a new computer system and wanted to make sure I could reinstall my CS5 Production Suite on the new system. I have all my DVD's and my key codes, do I have to do anything so Adobe doesn't think I am installing it on a second PC ?

you can't prevent the installer from recognizing the new computer is different from your older computer.

I realize that, I don't think you understood my question. Knowing that the Adobe installer will know it is a new computer, how do I let it know I am installing my product on a new computer I am building and not installing it on an additional computer?

again, you can activate on 2 computers. deactivating ps on your current computer (assuming it's the only computer on which your cs5 is activated) will preserve your 2 concurrent activations.

 

you may have a hurdle installing your cs5 on a new computer. ie, you need a compatible computer aka os.


question about your additional comment "you may have a hurdle installing your cs5 on a new computer. ie, you need a compatible computer aka os."

All hardware is being updated to 12th Gen i7 I will be using my current Windows 10, not going to Win 11 for a while. if the new system will be a much more powerful system than I current have I shouldn't have any issues installing the suite on  it will I? your last comment confused me
