Where can I get the serial number?
CS5 is no longer sold legitimately or safely any longer – it hasn’t been for almost 5 years now…
CS6 is still available however, which has significant upgrades vs. CS5 with more new features and performance improvements.
You can download the CS6 trials here (30 days free) – and you can purchase a permanent CS6 license key direct from Adobe here.
@ProDesignTools
Found some extra Mac links.
This is the direct download link for Adobe InDesign CS5 Extra Content for Mac:
InDesignFamily_7_Content_ALL.dmg
This is the direct download link for Adobe Application Manager Enterprise for Mac:
ApplicationManagerEnterprise_1_all.dmg
Great, thanks!
So there is no way i can get my CS5 extended version (legal + my serial number that contains 20 numbers ) from my previous pc to my new macbook?
Hey Joost, do you mean change/swap the operating system platform of your software from a PC to a Mac? Only if you’re currently running (or upgrade to) CS6 – see our guide here:
How to Move or Transfer Adobe Software Between Two Systems
And with the newer CC release, it’s not an issue at all – as you can install and activate CC on up to two computers, including two Windows machines, two Mac systems, or one of each.
links not working, can you help me ?
Hi, are you carefully following the important download instructions in the article above? They are required by Adobe, and the direct links won’t work without following them.
Then if there are any problems, try a different browser, another computer, or Internet connection (wired if possible, instead of Wi-Fi) – each time following those step-by-step directions.
Also, make sure you’re not blocking or filtering anything with your browser(s) – like cookies, downloads, or any sites or URLs – or running utilities like Ghostery, AdBlock, or Disconnect. Adobe recommends turning those things off temporarily.
Finally, if you’re really stuck, we also put together a list of download tips.
Hey ProDesign!
I’m trying to download these files however, I’m still getting the “access denied” page when clicking on the links. I’m positive that I’ve followed the directions accurately, I’ve triple checked. Has there recently been a change to Adobe’s site causing any issues?
Thanks
Yes Dan – in fact, Adobe did make some changes to their website this week, so we had to tweak the download instructions a bit so that these direct links will still work…
Try the directions again from the top and follow them very carefully, and the links here should download.
By the way, just a quick mention – Adobe revealed their Black Friday promotions early, and in fact the discounts are already live now… The savings are up to 68% off the regular prices:

Hello!
These instructions are great, and the files downloaded without a hitch. The only issue I am running into is the installing portion. When I click install I get the following message: ““Install” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should eject the disk image.” with the only option to cancel or eject the disk image. Any thoughts here? I have my code from the previous installation on my other computer, just can’t to a point to enter it and proceed. Any help would be appreciated. I am working on an iMac that was just purchased.
Hello Adam, try the solution recommended here:
Solved: “‘Install’ is damaged and can’t be opened. You should eject the disk image.”
Still working, easy! Thanks so much, I now have my paid-for, legit, licenced but somewhat aged CS5 on both my PowerMac in the office and my new MacBook Pro. Boom. awesome help, many thanks
Sure John, glad to help and appreciate your comment.
Hello!
Everything worked well for me after a few glitches that the prior comments fixed but now when I enter the serial number it says the serial number is not valid for the product. I have the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard Student and Teacher Edition, originally registered on September 12, 2010 and the serial number is from the Registered Products section of my Adobe account. According to the packaging I had to submit verification that I was a student at that time, could that be why the serial number isn’t working now? I hope I’m not missing something silly but I’m out of ideas.
So yeah…. Certainly helps to click on the correct link. Everything’s working fine now, Thanks!

How do I transfer CS5 from old computer to my new computer
I did like you wrote, I clicked on CS5 extended. Now what?
I seem to be getting nowhere. What am I to do now
I have to get back in business… How much is CS6 if you cant download CS 5 for me. This is all NUTS
Hey Walter, please make sure you carefully follow the important download directions first – before clicking on any of the CS5 direct links above…
This is required by Adobe’s servers, and if you don’t then the links won’t work – and you’ll get an “access denied” message instead.
Regarding your other questions, here are the answers… First one:
How to Move or Transfer Adobe Applications Between Two Computers
As for CS6 – Adobe ceased selling CS6 on their website last year. The reason is because it’s nearly 4 years old now (from spring 2012) and increasingly unsupported; they stopped releasing updates for it last summer as the newer CC rapidly grew and took over. With the CS6 software EOL and end of support, there are no updates, no bug fixes, and no guarantees it will run on future operating systems. So at this point we’ve stopped recommending it as a good or viable option going forward.
(CS5 of course is older still and the links above will only get you the free 30-day trial.)
Confirmed: Adobe finally stopped the last remaining sales of CS6 in all forms, editions, and geographies…
Update: You Can No Longer Buy CS6 from Adobe – Here’s Why
thanks that was perfect !
In an effort to be helpful, my husband uninstalled Adobe Creative Suite 4 to save space on my hard drive. While I gave up on the DreamWeaver software there were a few other programs that I did enjoy using and one of them was Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
While I did not use it often enough to warrant a monthly subscription fee, I would like to be able to use it without having to reinstall the entire CS4 Design Suite.
Again, not adequate space on the Hard Drive for everything involved….any suggestions?
Greetings Robin, you can install any of the applications you want, or all of them… You just choose the ones you want (via checkboxes) at the time of installation, that’s all.
I have been trying to download this after following instructions to the letter the download stops at 2gigs of the 7.2 gigs.
I have a like issue as an above poster, with a paid-for production premium cs5, and a new pc without an optical drive.
I have tried numerous times now to get this download to complete through Chrome.
Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated.
Everything works fine on our end… Did you try using a different web browser or another computer? Did you try using a different Internet connection? (wired instead of wireless/Wi-Fi for best speed and reliability)
I have downloaded CS5 Design Standard, which is the only version that I have an install key for. When I click on the red install folder to install the application, I get an error message that says “Install” is damaged and can’t be opened. I tried downloading it again, same result. Any ideas? Thanks!
@Mattb
P.S. – I have followed all of the download/account sign in instructions that you have provided. Cs6 seems to work when I try that, I just don’t have the license key for it. I appreciate any help on getting Cs5 Design Standard install to work!
Hi Matt, what’s your operating system? Have you upgraded or changed that recently? If it’s a newer release of Windows or Mac OS, then CS5 would be unsupported.
Another idea would be to uninstall the software, download/run the Adobe Cleaner Tool, then reboot your system and try the install again.
Hope that helps.
I have my serial number for the master collection but when I click on the link it says Access Denied and gives a reference number. Can anyone help?
Yes Lyndie, all of these old CS5 links still work, but you first need to carefully follow the important download instructions given in the article above… They are required by Adobe’s servers, otherwise you’ll get that exact message instead.
Then if there are any problems, try a different browser, another computer, or Internet connection (wired if possible, instead of Wi-Fi) – each time following those step-by-step directions.
If you’re really stuck, we also put together a list of download tips.
looks like maybe the links are dead now… logging into Adobe and visiting the set cookies page, the download request returns the HTML file:
Access Denied
You don’t have permission to access “…/AdobeProducts/FWKS/11/osx10/Fireworks_11_LS1.dmg” on this server.
Reference #18.f620317.1481227702.7b3239d
No, the software is old but the links do still work (just tested)… Please see our previous response just above your comment.
@ProDesignTools
The eject your disk image problem is happening to me too. I just bought a new MacBook and when I go to change the privacy settings to click the “allow from anywhere” option, there actually isn’t that option anymore. It has App Store and unidentified developers, but that still doesn’t work.
Yes, it could be an Apple Gatekeeper issue, which comes up for old (unsigned) software like CS5 and CS5.5… See if this page helps.
@ProDesignTools I still can’t figure out how to bypass the the eject disk image pop-up. The link that you gave, was the same suggestions that I’d seen before about going to system preferences, going to security and privacy and then changing the allow apps downloaded from: to “anywhere.” I have the brand new MacBook Pro with the Sierra software, and when I go through all those steps, I don’t have the option to change to the “anywhere” option. Is there another way to bypass it? I’m trying to download the CS5 Design Premium, because that’s what I had a serial number for.
Not sure Jackie – it sounds like an Apple issue more than an Adobe issue, or could be something particular with your system configuration.
thank you thank you, i could not thank u enough – the only place that was able to help me, lost my cs5 and it was a disaster until i found u guys :D
You’re very welcome Renata – glad to help!
This was insanely easy. THANK YOU so much! My new Windows 10 machine kept trying to install the 32-bit version from my disc instead of the 64-bit Photoshop CS4. Bookmarking your site right now!
Sure Lisa, glad to hear it helped – and thanks for letting us know!
