Trouble installing CS5 on new Imac Yosemite

Just got new Imac running Yosemite.  Trying to install CS5.  Old version from a disc. One problem, no disc drive on new machine.
Downloaded CS5 from adobe site and entered serial number. Get error message "not valid serial number for this product"
What am I doing wrong? Installer opens and I get to the serial number page,  triple checked serial number from back of DVD case and it still says invalid??
Help!

  • Welcome window doesn't appear when installing CS5 on new imac

    I'm trying to install CS5 into my new imac but after I inserted the Application disc 1, nothing happens. the welcome window doesn't appear. No window to fill in serial #s, etc. Installed Acrobat with no problem though. Thanks.

    Thanks for your response Jeff. I'm still getting myself familiar with Lion and obviously handicapped with these tech stuff so pardon my ignorance. I didn't see the DVD icon the way I used to in earlier OS so just assumed it wasn't working the way Acrobat worked (the first DVD I inserted). Now, I transferred the contents of my backup drive onto my new imac and see both CS4 and CS5 transferred into the Applications folder. Does that mean the softwares are installed or do I need to install them through the DVDs? Don't want to accidentally screw up anything. If I just dragged and deleted CS4, does that completely remove it out of my iMac? thanks so much for your help.

  • Installing Cs5 on new iMac but lost my serial number

    I purchased Cs5 through my school in 2011 and installed it on my macbook. I have a new iMac and want to install Cs5 on it (because I have the discs) but I can't redeem my serial number. Is this because it was already redeemed once? I don't believe I ever registered this product...I have the product code and receipt of purchase and I just want to put in on my new computer.

    Does your serial number show on your account page?

  • Trouble installing CS4 on new iMacs

    Since I cannot insert disks into the new iMacs(there is no drive), I was told to copy the content onto my desktop, and install it that way.  When I open istaller, the content from disk 1 is installed successfully, but then it asks me to insert disk 2.  Since I already the content of disk 2, I just press "ok," but nothing happens; it just keeps repeating the same prompt for me to insert disk 2.  I would image this is because the installer reads when another disk is inserted, but since there is no disk drive, it doesn't think I've done anything.  As a result, only the content from disk 1 is installed.  How can I install the whole thing?

    Follow the steps mentioned the below link, it will give you a step by step workflow to perform Desktop installation :-

    As a workaround you could download the CS4 software from and then use this to install.

  • How do I install CS5 on new iMac without a disc drive, if remote installation isn't working?

    I purchased CS5 for my laptop (Macbook Pro 2007 I believe) and now have the newest iMac without a disc drive.  I have tried remote installation, but it did not work.  I attempted to copy the installation files onto a USB and then transfer them, however, the iMac then prompts me to insert the installation cd.  How can I install it?  Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    I was signed in with download assistant, no just in at adobe.com... I've tried different perferences and settings but when I click on the links nothing seems to happen. I've been messing around with this for a few hours now and it dawned on me that it may have something to do with my internet. I live outside the city- totally nice for gardening, totally terriable for internet thus I have a verizon data plan and not unlimited internet, I think possibly verizon is shutting it down because of restrictions I have on my data. This type of thing also happened when I upgraded to Mavericks. The file itself was larger than my month's data so it seemed like it wouldn't initiate the download... I don't know for sure if it is the same problem here but if you're telling me that you are having more successful results than I am that might be the reason.
    I'll take my computer to work or to my mom's house or somewhere where I can have unlimited access and see if I have any better success.
    Thanks so much for all your help!

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
    Regards,

    I purchased numbers but want to install in my new iMac.  how?

    If you purchased it from the Mac App Store, sign in with the Apple ID used to buy it, click on the Purchases tab, and download it from there.
    If you purchased it from the iTunes App Store, you can't without getting the Mac OS X version.

  • Iphoto never came installed in my new iMac bought in Dec. (newest version) WHY???

    iphoto never came installed in my new iMac bought in Dec. (newest version) WHY??? How do I get it?

    It did come pre-installed, have you looked in the Applicaitons folder and have you checked Trash to see if you (or some other user on your computer) threw it in there? If it's still not there, then restart in the Recovery Partition on your iMac (hold down the Option key when you hear the startup tone) and choose re-install OS X.

  • Having trouble installing CS5.5 on lion 10.7.3?

    Are you having trouble installing CS5.5 on your mac (os lion 10.7.3)? Are you tired of receiving error reports (i recieved "exit code: 24" numerous times)?  there is an easy way without hacking your mac into bits. start your comouter in security mode (hold down the shift key while your mac boots). Pop the CS5.5 Application 1 dvd into the drive and follow the instructions. no problems. no exit codes. no hassel. no swearwords. just an installation that works. why this is necessary is a mystery to me. but it works. after installing, don't forget to restart your mac in order to exit of security modus and return to normality;)
    i hope this helps a few lost souls like me who have wasted hours of their time over the past couple of days. correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't updates suppose to make things work better?

    Hi..
    You can disable the Lion resume feature.
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:   Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    As for Facebook, select "Keep me logged in" ..   even if the page refreshes, you should stay logged in.
    Click on the image once to enlarge.
    For help to avoid Safari from auto refreshing pages, go to   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    For Lion v10.7x:  To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari.
