Need to d'load unavailable soft - but where is safe?

(1/4) > >>

tomos:
I need to download an older software (Photoshop 5.5)
I have a lisence/key for it (even have it registered with Adobe)
but it's no longer 'available' and I somehow have managed to lose both original and copy CDs :-[

Problems

* I'm completely ignorant of this kind of thing
* I dont know who to trust
* dont know if download is a trial or not (downloads seem to vary between 50 and 70MB roughly which I presume is related to trial but dont even know which is larger)
The best I could find was http://www.brothersoft.com/adobe-photoshop-59857.html
MacAfee says
In our tests, we found a small fraction of downloads on this site that some people consider adware or other potentially unwanted programs.-http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/brothersoft.com

which sounds safe enough, but I dont know if it's just a trial

then there's something like this
http://rapidlibrary.com/index.php?q=free+adobe+photoshop5+5+download
which is presumably much more dubious(?) but at least it says that it's a full version . .

Anyone got any tips?

Have you seen this looks pretty legit and you said file sizes vary from 50-70 mb and that one is 76.

thanks Loki - I had actually seen that - it eventually leads to
A newer version of Adobe Photoshop is available.

Carol Haynes:
Have you tried calling Adobe? If you have a licensed copy they should be able to supply it as either a CD or a download.

app103:
If yours is a CD version, your CD key may not work with the downloadable trial version.

And the CD version is much larger than the ones you have found.

Disk 1 is about 400mb
Disk 2 is about 300mb
