Install without a DVD drive

[kallyw75753699]

Hi Adobe experts,

I have software "Adobe Premiere Elements 11" with DVDs that I have never used before.  I now want to use it on my Mac laptop, but it doesn't have a DVD drive.  I do have a redemption code.  Can I simply download the software using that code?  I don't want to buy it twice.  Would appreciate any and all help.

Redemption Code to get serial number https://redeem.licenses.adobe.com/getserial

CS6 and earlier programs HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED AND WILL NOT BE UPDATED for Mac El Capitan or newer operating systems

-which means that you try to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems due to Apple updates

-Apple did not maintain backward compatibility with old programs in El Capitan or newer operating systems

--Adobe has a workaround to Apple's problem of not maintaining backward compatibility

--READ HERE https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2301916 for an Adobe solution to installing old programs, including a link to installing the old Java runtime that is required

You can download an installation file for Premiere Elements 11.  Your serial number should work.
