Error: 6 after reinstalling CS4 on new Macbook (Mavericks) from back up drive (no CD-rom drive).

My old Mac died. I purchased a new Macbook Pro with Mavericks. I had purchased CS4 installation discs, but cannot use them to reinstall the software since the new computer does not have a CD-rom drive. I tried to reinstall the Adobe software from my back up drive. When I try to open the software, I receive an error message: "Error: 6." The steps listed on other postings for correcting this problem do not work, and I obviousuly cannot reinstall the software without a disc drive. Is there a way to reactive the license?
Things I've learned while trying to remedy this problem:
-- There is no FlexNet Publisher file to delete -- it doesn't exist in my file system.
-- License Recover App won't open (isn't supported by my system)
-- Changed all permissions to "Read and Write" -- still get Error: 6
Now what?
