How do I install a purchased CD of Adobe Creative suite onto a new 2013 Macbook Pro?

Dear Apple Community,
I recently purchased a 2013 Macbook Pro, and I was not aware that it was going to be difficult reinstalling Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 onto this computer, since the Suite is from a CD I purchased a little over a year ago. I would like to know how I can reinstall the adobe creative suite 5.5 onto this laptop which doesn't have a CD slot built into it? Is there a way I can contact adobe and just download the suite and provide my serial number without having to purchase. Keep in mind, I'm a student. How do I get adobe on this laptop?
Thanks!

Most Adobe products are identical between downloaded and physical media, requring their registration keys to enable them.
You can try downloading a trial version from Adobe, if available, or here and then you would authorize it with your serial number.
If you need to install it from disc, you can simply purchase the Apple external USB SuperDrive or try to find someone that has one.

    How do I activate/download my Adobe Creative Suite onto a new macbook? My previous computer and download was for Windows on a Dell.

    The answer depends on which version of Creative Suite.
    Either
    install Windows on your Mac using Bootcamp or Parallels then install Creative Suite in the Windows Virtual Machine on your Mac.
    Or, if you want to install natively on your Mac:
    If CS6 then you can apply to Adobe for a platform swap
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    If CS5 then you must pay to upgrade from CS5 Win to CS6 Mac
    Creative Suite 6
    If CS4 or earlier then you're out of luck. You'll have to buy a new copy of CS6 for Mac or pay to join the Cloud.

  • Installing Adobe Creative Suite 6 Student Edition on Macbook Pro

    I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 6 Student eddition on a new Macbook Pro.  An Application called ARVATO downloades
    'Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium MAC.zip'.  When I try to open the file it just creates a CPGZ file.

    Licenses are platform specific, so the Windows version will only work on the Mac if the Mac has Windows emulation software installed.  The other option would be to trade your Windows version for a Mac version, but then you lose the use of it on the Windows machine.

    How do I get a replacement disc of adobe creative suite 6 student teacher edition, as the old one is scratched, to re-install on my mac?

    If you purchased the software from Adobe directly, Contact Customer Care - they can tell you if there is a chance to get a replacement disk.  But most likely they will tell you to download the software.

    Thanks for your reply. I was able to find help through a tech support chat session and the person helped me edit my /etc/hosts file and it solved the problem.
    For anyone else experiencing this issue (Mac OS X):
    Close all other programs and sign out from the Adobe Desktop App
    From the Finder, Go > Go to Folder...
    Type /etc and hit enter
    Find "hosts" file (only "hosts", there were similar files such as hosts.config but only open the one that says "hosts"
    Open the file, and replace the entire content with ### Host Database## localhost is used to configure the loopback interface#
    Close the file, sign back into the Adobe Desktop App
    Problem solved!

    Trying to install Creative Suite 2 premium on my MAcBook Pro. its telling me its not supported

    It means what it says. It's simply old software that doesn't run on contemporary Macs. You need to come up with something else like buying a current version or joining Creative Cloud.

  • Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Are you talking about adobe creative cloud? 
    If you are, the Adobe Creative Cloud give you most of Adobe's tools (and all that most would need) to do anything.  I will warn you about this though, is that it is a subscription, and you are basically renting it.  that means you really do not own it.
    About the hard disk space, all Adobe apps seem to take up at least a GB (and this does not matter if you get the master collection or the Creative Cloud).  so ether way, it will take some space. 
    Also, if you want to try-before-you-buy, you can go to creative.adobe.com, and get a free account and try out all of he adobe apps available for creative cloud.  The best part of it, your apps will be updated to CS7 (if or when it comes out) instead of buying the apps again in your subscriptions.  if you need even more information, you can go to adobe's site to find out more (www.adobe.com)

  • How can I install Mountain Lion in a VMware fusion, if it came with my macbook pro, and not purchased through the app store?

    I have Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro with Retina but I want to install Mountain Lion in a VM for application testing. I try to install it from the recovery partition but it states that when I put in my apple ID, it states that it was not purchased through the App Store. My OS came with my Macbook. Is there anything that I can do to get it to install in a VM?
