How do I install CS5 onto my new Mac OSX that has no disc drive?

I have the serial number and have loaded it onto one other computer, so I should still be able to put the program on my laptop as well. But it is giving me an error 6 for both PS and AI, but InDesign is saying I am missing files.
I have contacted the help center and it was no help, it was clear she did not know what to do because she kept asking me if I had a disc drive on my laptop which I had to keep clarifying that no, I don't.
I put the applications on a external harddrive and tried dragging them over onto my laptop, hoping it would just require I type in the serial number, but that did not work.
Please help!

Correct. No install, no licensing system, no working apps. You must run the installer properly. Refer to the below articles:
Errors "Exit Code: 6," "Exit Code: 7"
Troubleshoot with install logs
Anything beyond that will require much more info on your part.

  • How do I install Photoshop CS6 on a 2nd computer that has no disc drive?

    I'm getting a 2nd laptop for travel and I want to install Photoshop CS6 onto that computer.
    I read that I can install the software on 2 computers.
    My new laptop doesn't have a disc drive. Is there a way for me to install my already purchased software onto this new laptop without having to purchase an external disc drive?
    Thanks.

  • How do you install CS5 onto a new computer without Time Machine/file transfer

    I'm not getting a new computer, but my current one is getting a little old (Macbook Pro V. 10.6.8) and I'm afraid it might crash if I download the newest Maverick system, which is why I want to make absolutely sure I'm able to save and transfer all my old files and CS5 Creative Suite programs if this indeed happens. I don't trust Time Machine to do it; my boss had this happen and Time Machine did not transfer the Adobe programs. I also don't want to rely on Time Machine and any other file transfer (which all new Macs offer) because I've had brand new computers crash because of old corrupt files from my old computer converting over, and the Apple people said it's a bad idea (which would have been nice to know BEFORE the computer crashed and everything. . .) I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice, which I've already done (thanks to my brand new computer crashing once already). So I would like to know how it's possible to install the program onto a new computer should this one crash, without the use of file transfer or Time Machine. I have no interest in upgrading to CC.
    Thanks!

    Avoid using Time Machine for re-installing Adobe software. It rarely works and usually breaks the activation mechanism.
    I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice,
    Not quite.
    You can install the software as many times as you like but you can only activate the software for use on a maximum of two computers at the same time.
    To re-install you will need your CS5 serial number.
    Download the installer from Download CS5 products
    Install then enter your serial number when prompted.

  • How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 MacBook Pro?

    How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 Macbook Pro, and then I  hopefully can reinstall my data from my Time Machine backup?
    I presume the SSD will need some type of formatting, before I can install Mavericks from the internet? Then can I use my Time Machine backup to reinstall all my other software and settings?

    In order to load Mavericks the SSD will have to be formatted Mac OS Extended with GUID partition mapping

    Your key cannot work in CC, it's newer version, and would require a new purchase.

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

    Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

  • I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5).  It says it "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported."  Is there any way to install?

    I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5)
    Any suggestions?
    The message says "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
    Thanks!

    Thank you... spoke to Rosetta Stone and they said the same thing, and the give a nice discount when upgrading.
    Normally 5 levels of a language run about $479.  When upgrading, you can get the same 5 levels for $199.
    Fewer levels costs even less.

  • I have a new Mac computer that has imovie.  I recently made a movie that i would like to burn to a DVD.  I hear that idvd is no longer being sold.  Is there software on the computer that i can use to burn a dvd or is there a recommended software to use?

    I have a new Mac computer that has imovie.  I recently made a movie that i would like to burn to a DVD.  I hear that idvd is no longer being sold.  Is there software on the computer that i can use to burn a dvd or is there a recommended software to use?

    There is no really satisfactory substitute for iDVD to burn video files from iMovie.
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.

  • How do I install Lightroom onto my new computer after old computer crashes?

    My old computer recently crashed and I just got a new one (MacBook Pro).  I had Lightroom 3 on that computer and I need to get it back onto my new computer.  I have the original disc, but my new computer doesn't have a disc drive! How can I do this?? I also have the same issue with Photoshop CS4, but I don't have the disc for that.  Please tell me this is a possibility without having to re-purchase everything!?

    Emily-
    This isn't an "I told you so" but since I just learned how well it works, I'll pass this on to you.
    START using Time Machine to back up...it's the greatest way to move all your old apps to a new / restored hard drive without all the cruft from the old one which probably caused the crash. If you ever crash again, reinstall the OS and then restore from Time Machine which will bring in all your apps and preferences and you will be right as rain in no time.
    Sorry to hear you crashed, glad you've gotten a lot of good advice here.

    Kerrse,
    ...and it's content?
    While your method will get the app itself across.. the content will present a possible problem, though once it is updated to 9.1.8 the OP could try the "in menu' option to download content but the essential stuff normally gets installed from the DVDs initially with LP9 Boxed set... so it may not be as easy as simply copying across the app only.
    However, worth giving a try.....
