What is considered a "second download"

I downloaded CS5 on my laptop but soon after, my laptop crashed and had to be sent off to be put back to factory settings. This made me lose EVERYTHING. I am looking to redownload CS5 on the same device but I want to know if it will be considered my "second download" that I'm allowed or if it will still be only my first initial download since it is on the same device. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks

The number of times you download is not a factor.  The limit of two relates to the number of installations that you can have activated at a given time with a single user license.
Since you probably were not able to deactivate CS5 before you lost the installation, you might want to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.  That way you will still have two available.   If you don't, you will use the second one you have and not have an extra to use on another machine.

Here are links for downloads, though you might find a link to download thru your account online as well if you purchased downloads thru Adobe originally:

You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.
