What means "(deprecated)" for my bought assets?
Since Unity 5 there are some assets in my Asset Store downloads marked with "deprecated". Does that mean, that I can't download them anymore at some specific date? Or are the just not available in the store anymore, but I can still download it? I don't wanna lose my expensive bought assets. Thanks for your help

It means "outdated", "better methods exist", "no longer considered best practice", and perhaps most importantly, "will continue working for now but will likely break at some point in the near future".
Thanks, so this means, that the asset will be still available in the store, but maybe doesn't work anymore, right? Or will the asset be deleted at any time?
Not quite - it's more that you're using a newer version of Unity than the version that the asset creator used. So the message is telling you that there might now be a better/newer method available to you than what is used in the asset's scripts.
