Question

Can't activate Flash CS6

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to reinstall Adobe Flash Professional CS6 from my original installation CD. When I went to Adobe’s support chat, the virtual assistant basically said my email isn’t linked to any active plan and told me to sign in with another account.

After that, I couldn’t even find a way to reach a human agent. There was no “still need help” option or anything like that, and the chat just keeps looping back to the bot.

I don’t have a Creative Cloud subscription or anything like that anymore—just the original CS6 disc and whatever serial info I have from back then.

Has anyone else run into this with older Adobe software? Is there still a way to contact a real support agent for legacy installs, or am I basically stuck with the CD and no official help?

Any advice would be appreciated.

    there’s no support for cs6, other than these forums.

     

    so, what problem are you having with install/activation?

    I'm having a similar issue, after installing and activating my copy of Flash CS6 with my serial number, it says I need to sign in to activate it. I scan the QR code to log in, but it just takes me to the Adobe homepage, and Flash is still saying I need to sign in. I used the link it gives with the QR code, but the same result. It keeps saying I need to sign in or it will deactivate my copy of Flash CS6
