hello, I recently quit my cs6 suite subscription and decided to install a physical disc copy (with codes) of cs3 then the cs5 upgrade. I have a newer iMac, and I was wondering the Best process to get cs5 on my imac. Can I download 5 from your site, and install it from a download of cs5 from the adobe site? Can you tell me the best way to go about this?

    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
