Creative Suite 5.5 Download Issues from Original Disc Version

Hi,

I recently upgraded my Mac and can not transfer the CS Apps over to the new machine via Timemachine.

Unfortunately I only have disc copies of the programs that I purchased. Is there any way I can download these programs to my new machine without using the disc's? I can not seem to find a way in my account.

Any support here appreciated.

Cheers,

Wes

    CS6 and earlier programs have not been tested and will not be updated for Mac El Capitan or later operating systems

    -which means that you try to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems due to Apple updates

    -Apple did not maintain backward compatibility with old programs in El Capitan or Sierra

    --Adobe has a workaround to Apple's problem of not maintaining backward compatibility
