Sorry it took a while to get our comprehensive CS5 System Requirements page put together and live…
Hi!
I can’t download indesign cs5 from Adobe site. Is it available in other country than US?
Hi Michal, it should be available worldwide (in English), though it may take a while for all the servers to propagate across the globe… The free trials just clicked live a moment ago. So try again in a bit and you should succeed!
The CS5 release for other major languages such as French, German, and Japanese will be following in a few weeks.
Hi, since I tried to set up a trial to see if I want to buy the package myself too.
I tried on Adobe site to no avail first.
Then I saw this post. I tried this new link myself this morning.
It downloaded finally.
regards
Do I need a serial number from Adobe, to run the trial?
No – trial versions will usually not need an activation key until/unless the 30-day period has expired… If your trial does ask for this, make sure you didn’t accidentally select the option “I have a serial number and want to activate…” instead of “I want to try…” on the splash screen before clicking the button to continue.
Ah, thank you.
Different Trials, different systems!
On now.
Thanks again!
@ProDesignTools
You were right, it was working fine a few moments later.
Although I’m from Poland I’m interested in only the English version.
wow!! i really like this itz better than cs4……n da full pack is even better…
Can I purchase the software and download it and receive the discs via mail also? Call me old-fashioned but I like to have the discs just in case something goes wrong.
Thanks Wes
Yes, absolutely – in fact that is a recommended path… You can purchase the boxed software, have it shipped to your address, and then in the meanwhile download and run the product’s free trial until it arrives. Then to convert the trial to a permanent version, you just enter the product key from the box into the software when it starts.
Alternatively if you want to go greener without the shrinkwrapped box, but still have good coverage should something go wrong or you need to reinstall, just select the download option when purchasing the product and burn the file(s) you download onto a CD or DVD. It’s another way to get started right away while having a local backup.
adobe said that your website may have a download version of cs5 – can you let me know if you do, they have given me my serial number and i am desperately just wanting to access photoshop without a subscription, etc
Yes Nicole, for both newer and older Adobe software we have all the direct download links here.
Hello—I may be missing the forest for the trees but I can’t find the actual link to download the CS5 Master Collection for Mac. Any help is greatly appreciated!
No problem Angela, you just have to scroll down that page we linked in our previous comment reply… Or alternatively you can find the original CS5 direct links here.
Hi there,
I bought a student edition of CS5 in 2011 and I am just now switching computers. How can I transfer the program over to the new computer (I am not keeping the old one)?
I saw you can download a new trial version then enter your license key when prompted after the 30 days to enter a permanent version, but I looked at your free trial downloads, and am not sure which I am supposed to DL since none of them look like what I have and also I’m not a student anymore.
Can you please help me?
Thank you
Caitlyn O.
Hi Caitlyn, we do have the direct download links for older software like Adobe CS5 – and you’re right they are the free trial versions, but should still work to activate with your student license key.
For how to transfer a program between computers, see the details here:
How to Move Adobe Products from One System to Another, or PC to Mac
Thank you. I already had my old macbook wiped of everything, I guess without de-activating, but I should still be able to go to this url and install it on my new macbook air right?
Caitlyn O.
Yes, there’s nothing else you can do with it except contact Adobe and see if they’ll reset your activations if it tells you that you’re over the two-system limit.
Good luck!
