Illustrator CS5 onto a new computer

Hi,
I bought the adobe creative suite some years ago, maybe around 2009, and have it on my stationary computer. However I need to get illustrator (CS5) onto my laptop. Its been so long since I purchased this so I don't know where on earth my serial number is, what should I do!? I have a log in to Adobe, but there are no links to 'products purchased' or such.
Thank you super much for any advice!

Your best bet would have been if you registered your software. Then when you logged into Adobe with your Adobe ID, it would be listed.
You'll probably have to produce some proof of purchase, I imagine. You'll need to contact web chat. Links here:

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.

Downloading existing CS5 onto a new computer

I purchased cs5 in 2011 and am currently trying to download it to a new computer. I downloaded it directly from the Adobe website and do have the serial number (but not the disc) but cannot find a way (link) to download it onto the new computer without Creative Cloud. Where can I download CS5 only onto my new computer?

Moved from Cloud forum to Downloading forum
Download from http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
Follow the Very Important instructions on that page before you click the download links.

I downloaded cs5 onto a new computer. How do I open it?

It is asking for an app to open the download. I have no apps.

If you have downloaded it for Windows then you must have downloaded the .7z file.
Please install winrar on your computer, after installing winrar right click on the downloaded installer and select/click on Extract Here to extract the installer.
After extracting the installer install the software using setup.exe
Link to download winrar : http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

You don't have to repurchase CS5. If you still have the old computer, you should open one of the CS5 applications and choose Help > Deauthorize to remove using that computer from your license.
If you no longer have access to the old computer, you can do this with web chat here:
Serial number and activation support
If it's a new computer, you can install from the original discs or installer. If you don't have a copy, you can download it here:

I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir.

I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir. I have the CDROM for CS3 and want to download onto the Air. Tried copying the files via TimeMachine share but didn't work. Do I need to buy an external USB to download or is there another option?

Adobe applications typically place files in all sorts of locations, so trying to install Illustrator from a TM backup or copying from another system is very difficult since you probably can't get all the files. You'll need either an external CD/DVD drive or another computer with a drive you can access, either for Remote Disk:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287
or if it's a Mac to make a disk image of the Illustrator installer CD which you can then copy to the MBA and run.
Regards.
