Hi, does anyone know if I can still use Illustrator CS5 version 15.0.0 loaded on my iMac if I upgrade my Mac currently OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite to OS High Sierra ?

    Officially the answer is no. Your mileage may vary, but it will be a risk.

    I think so, but you have to grab a Java plugin.

    I think this is it.

    Hi Gideon,

    As mentioned by Steve and Doug, CS applications are discontinued and are no longer supported on the latest operating systems. For more details, please check out this help article: Older versions of Adobe Illustrator system requirements

    You can try installing it. If it works then it's great but if it doesn't, then I am afraid there are no troubleshooting steps further.

    More importantly, if you update, you're totally on your own. Adobe no longer supports Illustrator CS5.
