I have Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS5.1 Extended editions on my desktop. I purchased these in December 2011, the serial numbers for them show up on my Adobe account when I login and look at my products.
I wanted to install these on my new laptop - so I went to 'Downloads' - Older products, and can only find CS5 for each, not CS5.1
So I downloaded CS5 versions instead, and installed them. These activated successfully using my serial numbers. Then I tried to update them. The only updates available are 12.04 for Photoshop (CS5.1 is version 12.1), and also, the updates wouldn't download?
Any suggestions as to how I can get 5.1 onto my laptop?

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant or Manager) | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.
