Old computer died, how to get back my apps on new computer

[jennifers20128012]

Hi everyone,

My old Mac died about a week ago and it was going to cost roughly $600 to repair it so I chose to just get a new computer as it was very old.

How do I get my adobe apps onto my new computer without paying for them again? I tried to reach out to adobe but was told to come and ask here instead.

Thanks in advance!

You install the same way you did the 1st time... put your disc in the drive and enter your serial number when asked, or download the installer and enter your serial number when asked

Do be aware that CS6 and earlier will not directly install on a new Mac, you must do extra steps

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

How do I get my adobe apps onto my new computer without paying for them again?

Which apps exactly? Which versions exactly?

If Creative Suite (not Cloud), do you have your serial numbers?
