Hi, I can not instal the programs because I have a mac. What can I do?

[John T Smith]

1 - buy new software designed for a Mac

2 - ask in a Mac forum about emulation software to be able to install a Windows program in the special emulation area

Hi @Lily Photo,

Your 15 year old software is outdated. Even if you had the right disks for your platform, Creative Suite cannot run on Mac Catalina or Big Sur.  It's time to buy new software.
