Installing CS4/5 on new laptop without disks?

I am picking up a new PC laptop this afternoon, and I plan on deactivate and removing CS5 from my old laptop. I have the originial, registered, CS4 disks as well as the CS5 upgrade disks (both Design Premium, if that helps any), but the new laptop does not have a disk drive. What is the best way to install CS on the new laptop?
Additionally, would I have to first install CS4 and then follow with the upgrade? I can't recall exactly what, but I do remember running into some issues when I first did this about 3 years ago (and have had resulting error messages since then that I'd love to avoid on the new computer).
Many thanks in advance.

no, you only need to install cs5. you will be prompted for the serial numbers of both your cs4 and your cs5 upgrade.
if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial via one of the links on this page: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.

Installing CS4 on my new laptop running windows 8.1

I recently purchased a new laptop and want to install Dreamweaver CS5.
I purchased on-line, CS4 and installed it on my original laptop.I then purchased a hardcopy of CS5 and updated the program.
I have downloaded CS4 to my new laptop and when trying to install it I get the following message "The Installer Database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer Service."
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Canbrit

First uninstall CS4 if you can. If not, run the Adobe Cleaner Tool.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Then, if your end goal is to install CS5, all you have to do is install CS5, even if CS5 was an upgrade from CS4. No need to re-install CS4 first.
Just install the CS5 upgrade and enter your upgrade serial number.
The CS5 installer will recognise the number as an upgrade and search your hard drive for CS4 (or any other qualifying version). If it does not find anything it will prompt you to enter the serial number from an earlier qualifying version. Then you enter your CS4 serial number and the CS5 install will complete.

Installing acrobat pro to new computer without disk drive

i recently purchased a new mac that does not have a disc drive. i'd like to install adobe acrobat from the disk that i purchased with my old computer. how do i do this? possible to get a download code to do from online?

You could copy the contents of that DVD to a Flash drive and then copy those contents from the Flash drive to your desktop of your new Mac. You could also download the ESD (Electronic Service Download ) of your version of Acrobat from the links below and then install it.

The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
Then see this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How to install Lion OSX on new SSD without install disc

TL;DR
I need a way to install Lion on a new SSD without an install disc, and how to format it without a Mac.
Hello, just yesterday I opened up my MBP 13" Mid-2010 running 10.7.(4/5) (Not sure which it is, but I think it is 10.7.5) and the first thing I saw was Skype tring to sign in. It looked fine, untill I took a second look and I heard a strange clicking noise coming from my computer. The Sykpe signin page said "Disc I/O error" or something like that. I instantly knew there was something wrong with my hard drive. Tried rebooting, grey screen, strange clicking noise like most people with hard drive failure. I was devistated. It has worked minutes ago, then my brother gets off, I open it up,and the hard drive has failed. After I got over the initial shock, I googled "hard drive replacement" after searching for a while, I noticed most sites just showed how to UPGRADE your hard drive, cloning it and all. Well, heres my main problem. I had no time to clone. Luckily, I had started backup up a month ago, and all my data is safe on my external hard drive, but this is only a time machine backup. No OS. Now, most people can just put in their install disk and voila! But, I, sadly, do not have my install disk. No idea where it went, I just don't have it. So, I was wondering if there was any possible way to make a bootable USB or disk without having acsess to a Mac, or having to buy a disc. I bought Lion, and I'm hoping that there is a way to download this and put it on a USB, then boot my computer from it. Now, my second problem is formatting. I have no idea how to format my SSD, let alone without a Mac. If there is some way to format an SSD so that it will work with a MacBook Pro, that would be great.on a PC
IMPORTANT: No, I don't have ANY install discs, the only one I had, for Snow Leopard, is gone. And no, I don't have access to ANY Macs to format the SSD. Finally, I would really love to be able to do this all cost-free, as I have already purchased the Lion, and dont feel like buying a disc for it again.

Yes. See below:
Drive Erase for Lion/Mountain Lion
1. Wait until the Main Menu appears. This could take quite some time because you are doing all of this over an Internet connection. You should use Ethernet if possible. It's much faster than wireless. Select Disk Utility from the Main Menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select the SSD main entry (mfgr.'s ID and size.) Click on the Partition tab in DU's main window. Select One partition from the dropdown menu under Partition Scheme.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
After the above has completed quit DU and return to the Main Menu. Click on the Install/Reinstall OS X option then click on the Continue button.
You should be all set if there are no glitches.

Is there anyway to uninstall p/shop frrom my old laptop which has been damaged and I cannot retrieve any info and re-install it on my new laptop? thank you

I previously purchased p/shop and had it installed on my old laptop.
It was badly damaged and I cant retrieve anything from it without paying out a fortune to have a company try to access it.
Is there anyway I can get p/shop uninstalled and re-install t on my new laptop?
The old laptop is completely kaput-- doesn't even switch on?
Thank you

I am sorry its taken me a day or so to respond. ( My niece went into labour on the other side of the country and I have only just gotten back home)
I would just like to say thank you so much to the kind forum members who responded with very helpful solutions.
As a complete idiot when it comes to computers I am so grateful.
I will speak to some friends who are much more computer savvy and will probably be able to put the suggestions into action.
I really appreciate all the assistance as I would really like to retrieve some of the stuff from the old laptop and transfer it to my new one as I have no way to replace
the "lost" stuff,
Again Thank you
Elaine

Lightroom 5 - Re-installing existing licence to new laptop

Hi there
I recently had an accident with my laptop. It is now dead. I want to re-install Lightroom 5 which I purchased as a download, I have the licence number. I have attempted downloading via free trial, as per forum suggestions but this forced me to download Creative Cloud and would not accept my licence number, says it is not applicable that I already have it. My understanding is that you can install the program onto two computers, as long as they both belong to the same person. I have spent a couple of hours fiddling around and am getting frustrated, can someone offer some advise please. thanks in advance

This seems to be a fairly frequent problem, it seems to be hard to find the non-CC version for download and the CC version won't work with a non CC license key.
So, here's what I believe you need to do:
Uninstall the CC version you've downloaded and installed.
Go to here http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
That should take you to the country-specific download page. I know it says updates but if you click on the Windows or Mac version of LR it's actually the whole program
Download and follow the instructions for installation and then enter your serial number when asked to.
Stand-alone LR does not need de-activating, you can install it on your new laptop with the old number without any problems. I've done it myself in the past as I've moved on to newer PCs. CC and pre-CC Photoshop does need de-activation but not non CC LR.
Good luck!

First and foremost, learn punctuation and capitalization so we can read what you're writing properly.

Since I updated my phone and installed itunes on my new laptop, none of the songs I purchased from itunes will work. NOT HAPPY.

Since I last updated my phone and installed itunes on my new laptop, all the songs I purchased (and spent alot of money on) wont play on my phone or itunes on my laptop.

thanks for the reply
it looks as though i have to download them all again because next to each song on both my phone and laptop there is a cloud with a red arrow.
i installed the itunes, then plugged my phone in and followed all the instructions- the itunes on my laptop shows all the songs but still has the cloud symbol

Can't install itunes on my new laptop w/ Windows 8 64bit

So, I am trying to install the newest version of itunes on my Dell with Intel i3 Windows 8- 64 bit system. I had itunes on my old laptop (running Windows Vista) and it worked just fine, but when I tried to install it on my new dell, I get as far as downloading (itunes64setup.exe) and after it is done downloading and I try to install it, it gives me a pop up that says something along the lines of "this app can not be installed on your system- contact software manufacturer for the correct version for your system" I spent several hours on the phone yesterday with an apple rep and they weren't able to resolve it either. They had my delete the itunes that I had just downloaded, turn off my internet protection and try downloading the same one again. It downloads, it just won't install afterwards. When that did not work either, she had me try installing the standard 32 bit version, still nothing. Then she had me install the older itunes 9.2 to see if that would install and then I could just update it afterwards, but that would not install either after downloading. I tried restarting my computer and then downloading it again, same issue. I've been using the newest version of Firefox, but I tried downloading and installing it in IE. Same issue. Tried IE w/out internet protection, same issue. As a last resort I saved the itunes installation from my old laptop on a flash drive and tried to install it on my new laptop from the flash drive and it almost seemed like it would work, it started the installation wizard, but after a minute it stopped and said that it was a 32bit version and that I needed the 64 bit version for my system. That is actually the farthest I had gotten with any of my tries. It would not even get to the installation box with any of the other tries!!! If any one knows a solution for this, I would be so greatful!!! I tried the tips from past discussions and it did not resolve it. HELP!!!

How do I move my iTunes library from my iPod Classic to my new laptop without ;osong a;; my music in the synch process?

Hi FWFFP,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below will explain how to get music onto your new computer. I'd personally recommend the option of copying the iTunes library from your current computer to an external drive, because it creates a backup for you as well:
