Best way to download Adobe CS Master Collection 5.5?

I purchased adobe cs5.5 master collection a year or two ago. It was shipped to me from the US to where I live in Germany by a friend, but the discs were stopped by customs and sent back. Not because of anything illegal at all, but because German customs is the worst thing in the world. They stop EVERYTHING, and if you dont go to the office (which is a 2 hour trip for me) within 1 week, they ship it back.
Anyways, I legally own cs 5.5, and have my serial number, but I dont have any discs due to the above story. Now it used to be easy to download a trial version and enter my serial number but that is no longer possible. I have found some ways or locations for the 5.5 gigabyte file, but downloading a file this big in your browser download queue seems to be an exercise in frustration. If one thing fails, the whole download is lost.
Any suggestions? I would love to have a LEGAL/non-cracked ISO of either the full version or the trial, so I dont have to go looking again if i need it in the future and can just burn a disc or two with the whole thing on it.
It seems quite ridiculous that in this modern age, when you spend 2,000+ dollars on a piece of software, a year later that software is no longer available for digital download.
NOTE: To any support people who will give me a download deeplink. I am trying this now, and as I wrote above, downloading 5.5gb in a browser is actually quite difficult.

A “digital download” or "deep link" is what is provided on that download page.  An ISO would likely be much larger because it wouldn’t be compressed.
The problem you’re having is your unreliable/slow internet connection.
What I’d suggest is to use an application that will allow resuming a download after a broken connection.  The application I am currently using to download the 5GB file is called “Free Download Manager”.  I have it set to integrate with IE11 and I can right-click on the 5GB link and choose Download with Free Download Manager from the context menu in the browser and it is successfully downloading with multiple connections to maximize my internet bandwidth usage and there is an indication that says Resume Support: Yes for that server so I expect if something did happen to the connection I could resume the download at a later time without having to restart all over again.  Due to the Adobe authorization cookie requirements it does not work to drag-and-drop the link to the FDM’s dropbox, only to right-click the link in the browser and choose to download that way.
FDM is available from here:  http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm
As with any program like this watch carefully during the install for extra toolbars or other non-necessary things that might be installed, and if you’re particularly paranoid, then scan with ADWCleaner and MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware afterwards.
It’s been so long ago that I installed this software that I don’t actually remember if there was any extraneous junk it tried to install or not, but there hasn’t been an ongoing problem since I do scan with the above mentioned software periodically.

  • Where can i download adobe cs5 master collection?

    Hi i was looking for old adobe cs5 master collection download not adobe creative suite cs5.5 i have searched every where but still cannot find it.please help me i need it.Warmest regards

    well, seeing as there was no answer here, i called adobe today, appartently adobe decided with the release of 5.5, there are no more trial downloads for cs5.0, i really hate when they do things like this , i can't keep up with everyone else and always get to the products late to try, i'm frustrated and VERY upset by this style of adobe doing these things.  I love to photoshop and learn, but they make it impossible, especially when 5.5 as they told me, was released a month ago.
    It's just so wrong!!
    so, no more downloads for that folks.!!  only cs5.5, and i'm just not able to afford that now *cries*

  • Urgent Support Request! - Adobe CS6 Master Collection - Please Insert Disk

    Our company has downloaded Adobe CS6 Master Collection for deployment on our master image this year.
    When attempting to install using the files that we downloaded and ran off the hard drive the set up says "Please Insert Disk", this shouldn't be necessary as I have all the required files to install on my computer already.
    I need a solution quickly to this as I have to get this master image completed and deployed within the next week or two and I have hundreds of machines to do it on.
    It is a clean install and therefore there are no compatibility issues with previous programs, I have tried looking for the installs of the individual programs themselves in the folders to no avail, I had a similar problem with Autodesk products which I solved by installing the trial version then upgrading it to the full version immediately after install. I have not tried that with this problem yet as I'm sure there is a more efficient way to solve the issue. At least I hope there is. Please get back to me as soon as possible with this because I'm required to get this sorted within a very tight deadline.

    Hello Hans,
    Thank you for your rapid response.
    This appears to have solved my issue.
    10 Points to you good sir!
    Regards

    i just wanted to know if i can download the Mac version and use that cereal number to activate it?
    No.
    Serial numbers are Mac only or Windows only. There is a platform swap process (from Mac to PC etc) but only for CS6.
    As a CS5 owner, your choices are to either pay to upgrade to CS6 for Mac or join the Cloud.

  • Notebook Specs for Adobe CS5 Master Collection

    Hi guys, I am currently in process of buying a new notebook.
    I will be running a Adobe CS5 Master Collection and few other programs.
    Can you guys let me know what are best specs that this notebook must have?
    I know Mac is best option but my company is not willing to get one, they are willing to settle for HP / Dell / etc…
    I will need this notebook to handle multiple applications at a time (dreamweaver, illustrator, photoshop, etc etc…).
    I dont want the basic specs, what more can i include to get this notebook running like a super machine?
    eg. 8GB Ram, i7 processor?
    What do you guys advise?
    Thank You
    Bradley

    I was curious about your experience with CS5 Master Collection, since I purchased the CS4 Master Collection more than a year ago.
    I had previously bought the CS3 Master Collection and upgraded.  The original CS3 collection was reasonable to work with because there was a  Disc for each different program.  If you needed to reload a program you could figure it out.  When I upgraded to CS4 which was a decent price, I figured what I would get would be comprehensible in the sense that CS3 was.  What I received was (I believe 5 discs...I don't have them with me) labeled Content
    and Applications.  It wasn't long, because of the general 64-bit confusion, that one of the programs (Acrobat Pro) became corrupted.  I wasn't sure which disc or discs to load.  There are absolutely no instructions or anywhere you can go to find them.  Adobe provides nothing for Master Collection
    owners, or rather up-graders...try sending an email...good luck.  Try calling...to find out how to load a program?  By the way when I try to load one of the Content discs, I get a message that says my laptop, with all the bells and whistles, and which originally accepted the Master Collection, cannot load the software, whatever that means.  I wrote several emails to Adobe asking for help, I'll even pay for it...no answer.  I also subscribe to the Professional Photographers podcast and Adobe is frequently mentioned as having terrible customer service and having over-priced software.  I'm seriously thinking of alternatives, but everyone uses Photoshop, which you're probably better off buying by itself.  Or, you could wait for another frustrated customer to post his/her complaint to the Adobe Forums.  I don't think the Adobe administrators will let this be posted, but please, be forewarned about the terrible customer service.

  • Adobe CS6 Master Collection failed to initialize

    I'm trying to install Adobe CS6 Master Collection but this always comes up:
    Adobe Support Advisor no longer exists so I can't download it???
    Anyone know what I can do?

    start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
    if cc (win):  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
    if, your error is:
    "Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
    first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
    to find OOBE:
    64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
    mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
    if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
    if you're using a dvd to install:
    copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
    if you're using a mac:
    1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
    2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
    3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
    4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
    5. Start the installation again.

    Just looking at that link and I don't think this is my problem. It says:
    Bootstrapper requires certain installer components to be in place to load correctly. Otherwise, it displays the error "Installer failed to initialize. File not found. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
    Run the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool and remove the product that you are going to install. See Resolve installation problems with CS5 Cleaner Tool | CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 (cpsid_82947).
    But mine doesn't say "File not found" anywhere in the error message.
    If it helps on my desktop when I try to install it an icon comes up for a second that looks like the dmg mounted icon with the word "core" underneath it.

  • Trouble downloading CS5.5 Master collection Trial

    I've tried to download CS5.5 Master collection trial 3 times without success.  The entire download appears to finish (blue bar goes all the way across), however it gets stuck there and the time remains at "less than 1 minute."  Also, strangely...If you hover your mouse on the left side of the download bar about a .5 inch under the bar you can track the process of the download in real-time.  You are able to see estimated time left as well as download speed.  Well, when I do this rightttt now...it indicates that I am at 105.66% at a download speed of 788kb/s.  Btw, I'm on a 1GB LAN line too...no clue why the slow speed?  I've tried to download on Internet explorer and now on Google Chrome.  No Clue?  Please help!
    Thanks

    Did you modify the download location?  I would recommend removing the Adobe Download Manager, refreshing the Master Collection download page, and then initiate the download again.  This time choosing the default options for save location.

I have tried Control Panel but it will not do anything, there are no error messages, it is like as if it is ignoring my instruction. Why should it be so difficult to delete programs one does not want. Any ideas please.

    The more they spend the faster you will be able to work.  A good processor like an i7, Windows 7 64 bit and at least 4 GB RAM will be a good start, 6 or 8 GB would be good.
