All support & testing ends when software is discontinued. Given that CS5 is discontinued and no longer supported, Adobe agents can't help you with anything except an activation count reset. Software life expectancy is 3-5 years and your CS5 was released 10 years ago. Google will give you the step need to do that.
#Adobe updater cs5 mac install
There is a key combo you press at startup of the Mac to go out ot the Net, Boot the computer from across the internet and downlaod ands install OS X. Since your Mac is from 2013 you can install Mavericks on it from over the internet. If you want to run an older version of Adobe software then run it on an older version of OS X. They do, to some degree, test their current version when Apple comes out with a new version of MacOS and make changes as needed.
When CS6 came out they Never tested any older version of the CS suites to find out if the newest Apple MacOS caused any problems. Since support for CS5 ended a many years ago, like when CS6 came out which was a few to several years ago too, Adobe really doesn't deal with supporting older, out of date, versions of their software (that is why we are here). First 99% of all users on this forum are just Users Like you. You will not get a Formal Word on this subject from Adobe. This will at some point also mean sourcing antique hardware. But don't for a moment try to have your cake and eat it: freeze the system, no matter how shiny the later systems are. Running antique apps is often needed, and there is no shame to it. You WERE expected to upgraded to CS6 for that, and it is now catching up with you. But you were already skating on very thin ice installing on 10.9. It looks as if they might have gone the extra mile and included 10.7. So the last "real" supported version, as you chose to call it was the 2011 macOS, 10.6. So CS5 reached this point when CS6 was released in 2011. So, the day CS6 came out there was no fixes for other bugs, or updates for new systems, no testing of new systems, and hence no official statements. That means, pretty much, security patches, and that's all. In Adobe's world, the day a new release comes out, only critical support is applied for the apps not yet at end of life. So there are no fixes for critical or security bugs, no updates for new systems, and NO TESTING OF NEW SYSTEMS, hence no official statements.īut there is a "little death" for apps too. At that time, the current release of macOS was 10.10 Yosemite. So, support comes to an end at some point.įormal end of life is 5 years from first release for Adobe's apps: for CS5 that was 2010, so end of life was 2015. This implies something formal, not "it might work on." You also play the "I paid a lot so it should be supported forever" card but Adobe don't play that game.
