Reinstalling PS CS5 (upgrade from CS4 serial) - where to download?

[Falrinth]

The whole Adobe site is an unintuitive maze to put it lightly.

Im about to do format and clean install. While i have adobe CC sub with Animate, i dont need CC expensive Photoshop for my work. SO im sticking with my old PS CS5. Now the question is: How do i reinstall it?

Do i need to install my CS4 and then use the CS5 upgrade installator (if i find it on the Adobe site) or can i install CS5 right away and use the CS4-to-CS5 upgrade serial?

And again: Where do i find any installators? Only thing i have right now is my CS4 DVD, and on 2nd thought cant use it either, cause my DVD drvie is long time removed from my PC.

Download Adobe Creative Suite 5 products  During the install, you will be asked for the serial number of CS4.

It should be very easy, but you will have a base install. Update the Adobe Application Manager so Help > Updates will work.

Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager

The installator of CS5 wont accept my CS4 key. I would need to find my cs5 upgrade key i guess 😕 Where to look?

edit:

Got it. Turns out i have 2 adobe accounts with 2 different emails. One have CS5 upgrade only, while the other have everything else >.<
