New Software but no disc drive :(

Just received a copy of photoshop and premiere when I purchased a new camera.  Unfortunately, they came on discs and my laptop does not have a disc drive.  Any way to download the software off of Adobe's website?

Bradyw22 you can copy the installation files to a USB drive on a computer which does contain an optical drive.
The majority of Adobe retail software titles can be downloaded from Other downloads.

  • I want to update my software but my disc drive is not functional, are there alternatives?

    I have a Macbook Pro 5,3 that I would like to update, currently my Macbook runs on 10.5.8.
    My main problem is that I can't purchase the update because my disc driver is not functional anymore(my only problem, Macbook otherwise is doing very well).
    I have been to the store and they advised me to call, and now it seems like I need to pay 25,- pounds so I can get help over the phone which is a bit ridiculous to me.
    Besides that, what would be the alternatives for me to install Snow Leopard and hopefully then update to the newest software for my Macbook?
    Thanks!

    Snow Leopard is available from Apple for $20. Since your current optical drive isn't working, you can pick up any number of USB external DVD drives cheap. In the U.S., many are available for under $20.
    Once you have those, install Snow Leopard, and then update it to 10.6.8.

  • How do I download/install Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on new iMac with no disc drive?

    My iMac hard drive recently failed and I lost everything. I just bought one of the new iMacs with no disc drive.  I had purchased Photoshop CS5 in 2011 but it came with CD's for install.  I stil have them but it doesn't do me any good since there is no disc drive to put them in on the new computer. How can I install Photoshop using my serial number from my original purchase?  I downloaded the CS6 trial version and when I try to activate it with my old serial number it says it is invalid.  

    There are links to trial installers on pages:

    http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    Very carefully read and follow the instructions on the pages!
    Download and install the trials, launch and activate them with your serial number then do 'Help > Updates'.

  • I just bought a new computer without a disc drive. How can I download my CS3?

    I just bought a new computer without a disc drive. How can I download my CS3?

    Still not working. I need step by step instructions... I'm trying to follow the ones on the link as best I can but after I install the Adobe Download Assistant, log into Adobe and then click on the file 1 hyperlink and begin download for CS3 Adobe Illustrator, it downloads to my desktop. Then when I open it it says the following- see screen shot saying "setup" cant be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
    Additionally, Creative Suite is not feautred on this screen after I have signed int Adobe with my ID. See screen shot below.
    Thanks,

    If you have the disc and your new machine has a disc drive then use those.  If you need to download then you can download thru the following page and use your serial number from the disc to activate...

    And what would that be before I or anyone else wastes their time and yours providing options you have already tried without any change?
    If you have tried all troubleshooting steps providing by Apple, call AppleCare or make an appointment an an Apple store if there is one nearby. You have no other option.

  • New iMacs have no disc drive, will I have to pay to install software I already own?

    So i´ve been on a mission all day trying to find somewhere that has a 2011 iMac in stock, with no success, it appears apple rules over every store in the uk and all 'old' imacs are now discontinued. The main reason I want an old one is because of the fact they have a disc drive (and the slight possibility I could have saved some cash) and I own logic pro 9 on disc. It´s annoying to think that I may have to resort to paying out 80 quid for an optical drive for the new imac or resorting to buying logic again from the app store when in reality i´ve paid for this software and I should be able to install it.
    I personally think a solution should be set in place for this, if you have the software on disc and have a valid serial for it you should be able to re download it on the new imacs via the app store. I dont want to mess around with time machine as my mac is clogged up to the max, I simply want a brand spanking new machine, logic pro 9, my project backups and sample library, no more, no less.
    If anyone has a solution to my issue please let me know

    It's just Apple dragging us kicking and screaming into the future.
    See if your Apple online Store has any refurbished iMacs for sale. At present a very limited selection exists in the US store. Their inventory changes frequently.
    You should probably be able to continue to use another Mac or PC with a shared optical drive. I have tried it and it works exactly as if the drive were physically installed in your Mac:

    Presumably you will still be able to use an external Superdrive:
