Running older Creative Suite apps in Older Mac OSs

[birckcmi]

A fairly straightforward question: Can I run Adobe Creative Suite Premium (NOT CREATIVE CLOUD) ensemble on a Mac running OSX 10.5, aka Snow Leopard? The CS ensemble is as of 2004.

I found this page with system requirements for CS5 which shows a minimum requirement of 10.5.7:

That would be CS1 or CS2.

Even if you could install the software, you won't be able to activate the suite for use beyond the 30 day trial period because the activation servers no longer exist.

CS1 (Creative Suite 1) should run on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 or Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 and doesn't require activation on the Mac side.

Creative Suite CS2 and CS3 do require activation, so the orginal versions won't run past a 30 day trial period.

Adobe did offer spercial non activation versions for licensed users when the Adobe shut down the activation servers, but Adobe removed those downloads years ago.
