Did a clean install on my Mac and realized that my CS5 was a digital download and I need to reinstall. I do have the license key. Where can I find the CS5 software to download?

Thanks Ned. Unfortunately, it says I don't have permission. I checked that cookies were enabled and popups also.

Never mind. I didn't read the instructions thoroughly enough. Strange procedure... but it worked.
Now, after downloading the .dmg it says ""Install" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. I right clicked to show the contents of the "Install" package and under MacOS there is an install.exe that returns the same message as the "Install". How is Adobe an "unidentified developer"?

That's Mountain Lion Gatekeeper kicking in.
More here and how to temporarily bypass it and install the software.

THANKS! The software is finally installed. I truly appreciate your help. I have to wonder why it is so complicated compared to other installs? I am so happy to have Photoshop up and running again. I was tempted by the CC offer for $10 per month, but I already have Lightroom 5 and CS5.1 so didn't really see the need. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Get ready! An upgraded Adobe Community experience is coming in January.
