You would need a supporting computer, valid serial number and previously purchased license. CS5 and CS6 are on life support. Nobody knows how much longer they will be available.
Log-in to your online account. If it's still available, you should see a download link.

If you're using Windows 11, it might be best to get modern software. 10+ year old software isn't guaranteed to work on new OSs.
Photoshop Elements (no subscription needed).

Creative Cloud Photography Plan (approx $10/month for 12 months). Includes the following:

Hope that helps.

I'll recommend to save the download files on an USB stick, hard drive or CD/DVD, but it isn't sure how long these links are available.
Many thanks to jim @ prodesigntools.com

you must download the installation file that exactly matches your serial number. prodesigntools.com downloads are for the individual north american (and western europe - thanks @AxelMatt ) versions, only. other serial numbers will be reported as invalid (for that download).
your serial number consists of 6 groups of 4 numbers. there are several possible ways to find/recover an adobe serial number.
1. search purchased materials: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/find-serial-number.html
2. you can check your account (if you purchased from or registered with adobe AND you remember the adobe id used to purchase/register), https://accounts.adobe.com
3. if your adobe program is installed on another computer you can recover its serial number from that computer,

Are you sure?
As far as I see there are also versions for Europe.
