If you have the installer download file, just archive it along with your codes. That's actually what I have done with all my Adobe software: rendered the CD/DVD originals to Disk Image files and saved them in my software archive along with all the installation codes. Takes up a lot less space on the shelf and is a lot easier to find when needed. :)
