Painter 5.5 Web Edition is the last version of this program developed by Fractal Design/MetaCreations, before being sold off to Corel.
Painter was the first application to give artists virtual access to the real tools used by painters and illustrators: paint, chalk, paper effects, etc., and also let them interact with it using Wacom tablets. Since it's introduction, some astounding results have been obtained using this software.
You can decompress this file with StuffIt Expander and then burn the .iso image to a CD-R disc. No serial number is included, but it's not too hard to find it on the Internet.

Comments
Only now have taken a closer look at this archive.
It appears to be a Mac HFS mounted install set only, with an extra ISO 9660 mount point, showing the same content but with truncated DOS "8 x 3" filenames. - This only becomes apparent if you mount the .iso with the virtual CD/DVD utility (which mounts both HFS & ISO 9660 parts), or mount the burned CD in a Windows PC.
That is, there is a Mac only Painter 5.5 installer on the disk... Curiously there are some minor hidden Windows files; A Windows Acrobat Reader installer, some hidden Windows ICC Profiles and a hidden Windows image viewer in the Art gallery folder. No Windows installer of Painter 5.5 for PC's is on the CD image tho'.
The ISO 9660 mount point was created in March 2012, just prior to this archive's upload. The Mac HFS part was Created and Modified in 1998, which is what you'd expect, so the ISO 9660 anomaly is a later addition created (for reasons unknown) by the archivist.
Many thanks for archiving this. A few years ago, the 5.5 Web (Windows) edition was given away free on a PC magazine CD, I have a copy of that. I had wondered if the Mac version was also given away on some Mac magazine CD at the same time, perhaps? Anyway, having Mac & Windows versions on the same CD is great.
