Hi

Photoshop CS5 is not available through the Creative Cloud app so I would use this tool to uninstall the CC app

Uninstall the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application

You will need to deactivate CS5 on you old machine if it has been activated more then twice, you can do that from the help menu, you will need to Contact Customer Care and ask them to provide a download link for CS5

Find your serial number

Adobe removed old links from public view https://theblog.adobe.com/changes-to-creative-cloud-download-availability

-also read https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-limits-software-downloads.html

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The process below WILL NOT WORK if you have a (CS6 or earlier) serial number for an education or volume version, since the only downloads now available are the retail installers, which DO NOT work with an education or volume serial number

Start by reading reply #10 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2620448

-Also read https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/kb/downloaded-older-app.html

-And https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-downloaded-file-app.html

-OR... Go to https://www.adobe.com/about-adobe/contact.html

-click on the Chat bot on the bottom right hand corner of the first screen

--the chat bot is the circle with a funny looking box with 3 dots inside

-click on Downloading or Installing, then type Agent

Do NOT let the support agent tell you to come to the forums for help... no user in a public forum has access to Adobe's internal links, you MUST obtain the program and update links from Adobe support

AND when you finally do have a download link, be sure to copy every file you download to an external drive (or 2 or 3) so you never have to hunt for download links if they are moved again... also make a text file containing ALL of your serial numbers and copy that file as well

Hi - several years ago (2012) I bought cd's with Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard.

I have now bought at new iMac and the programs does not work on the new Mac. The firm who sold the new Mac says that I need a newer version of the programs and that I might could make a switch. Do you know what to do?  Thanks

Mac Catalina will not run old programs... there is no upgrade

You either need a subscription https://creative.adobe.com/plans

Or Photoshop/Premiere Elements http://www.adobe.com/products/elements-family.html
