I still have a CS5 (or 5.5/6) master suite license somewhere from i was able to purchase it under ‘educational’ discount back in the day, but I figured it won’t work on newer machines and OS. Are you using yours on an older machine?

Windows 10 - absolutely zero issues for me. Rock-solid stability. Here's my install notes - just make sure you don't launch Photoshop/Illustrator prematurely: * Skip the "setup an adobe ID" step * Only install "Adobe Photoshop" and "Adobe Illustrator" * On right-hand side deselect not needed components * Story Extension * Browser Lab * Air * Media Player * Device Service * Site Catalyst * Keep useful components * Fonts * Extension Manager * ExtendScript * Check both "Services" and "Task Scheduler" to make 100% the update manager did not get installed * Disable Adobe SwitchBoard service * Delete the OOBE directory from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe * Delete the AAMUpdaterInventory directory from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe * Launch Photoshop, Photoshop x64, and Illustrator for first time and skip past any registration screens * Reboot system and repeat previous two steps to ensure no updaters/etc. are installed and software works without warning on first load * NOTE: On reboot/second check it looks like a service gets scheduled so repeating these steps is important! (hooks on reboot by Adobe installer) * Type "Startup Apps" and ensure all Adobe apps not starting with system
