Reinstalling CS5 on a new computer

I have been using CS5 Master Suite on my older laptop for over 5 years now.  No problems.  I recently bought a new laptop and want to transfer my CS5 master suite.  I have lost the disks.  However, I found the install for CS5 Master Suite Via and old Adobe link.  I installed the program no problem and when asked for my Serial Number upon install, everything is fine and validated.  Upon running any of the programs after installation, it asks for my serial number again.  I entered the serial number again and now it says it is not valid.   Help!!!  
I want my CS 5 on my new better laptop.
Best,
Jordan

I did not try that.
However, I just spoke with tech support and they said my serial number doesn't even show up in their database.  I purchased my old laptop with the CS5 master suite as a package deal from a friend in college 5 years ago.  I have no way of contacting him today.  I am now afraid that if I deactivate my key from my old laptop that I will no longer have the working programs, which are critical to my work.

  • I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

    I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly.  I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

    Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications.  You should install them.
    As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.

    We have CS5 installed on a workstation, we have the products registered with Adobe.  We are going to be replacing this workstation and reinstalling CS5 on a new workstation.  Do I need to unregister the product to be able to install it on the new workstation.  If so, how do I do this?
    Thanks

    you should deactivate (help>deactivate) that installation on the old workstation.  then download and install on your new work station using your serial number.  (ie, make sure you can find your serial number - if you need help with this, let us know.)

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional that I want to migrate to my newer laptop running Windows 7. I downloaded the file 22020134.exe to reinstall it on my new computer and I go through the hops and when I put in the Serial Number it tells me its invalid.

    I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional that I want to migrate to my newer laptop running Windows 7. I downloaded the file 22020134.exe to reinstall it on my new computer and I go through the hops and when I put in the Serial Number it tells me its invalid.

    22020134.exe is the file Adobe say you must download and run to instal Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I went through the  process, the one described in your link, I downloaded the file, ran it, it runs well, except it tells me my serial number is invalid. Now what? Does this mean I now have to discard my Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and start again with a $500 purchase? All I want to do is transfer what I have to another computer.
