How to move Photoshop CS5 Production Premium to a new computer (when I've lost my disks)

0

I moved and cannot find my Photoshop CS5 Production Premium disks. One of my two allowed installation computers crashed. The other has CS5 Production Premium on it. I cannot find my disks to load my allowed second installation. I have my serial number; however, Adobe no longer offers a download of the program (which once downloaded I could activate with my serial number). I tried a download from a third party site: didn't work. How do I copy and transfer the program from one computer to another? (Computer with the files runs Windows 7. Computer needing the files runs Windows 8.1.)

Solution

  1. Sign in with your Adobe account or create a new one. As an alternative, visit the Download a free trial of Acrobat XI Pro page.

    This step is required to set the session cookies on your browser which grant you access to the trial(s).

  2. Download the official Production Premium CS5 trial directly from Adobe:
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/STVD/CS5/win32/ProductionPremium_CS5_LS7.7z

  3. Extract the content of the .7z archive using 7-Zip.

  4. Install the program using your serial number. When everything is up and running, make a backup of the setup package.
