How can i install CS5 Photoshop on my MacBook Air without a CD?

[lynnilynn]

I bought a new Laptop and want to now install my old Photoshop CS5 on my new one. How can i do that, as i can not use my CD. I found some links on the Webpage, which apperently did not require that, but then, when I wanted to install the downloaded media there was no way round the Media... Anyone knows a solution? Would mean the world to me!

Thank you in Advance!

You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

The installer tells me my serial number is invalid, even though it is the one on the back of my CD... Any suggestions? Thank you very much! you have already helped me a lot!
