Thanks.  Yes, bear with me, first time in commmunity.  I purchased CS6 from Best Buy in 2012, registered it with Adobe on 10/28/2012.  Got message that it was non-genuine and would be disabled.  that was a month or so ago.  Went through support who verified it was an active serial number.  Went through their process, all was good and she said no more popup messages would come up.  Friday:  Same thing - contacted support again, long conversation with answer being do the cleaning, uninstall and install and all would be good.  Asked specifically if my produce was "genuine".  Yes it is but no support will be provided if I have trouble.  Over weekend, my app was disabled and gone.  Went through ANOTHER support person who said that adobe can't do anything about the situation, and I need to subscribe to Creative Cloud and maybe go through focum to get an expert.

Other users in a public forum can't help with your problem

 

I have never purchased software from Best Buy so I have no idea if BB is an authorized dealer, or why Adobe would "flip flop" on your serial number being good or not

Thank you.  In 2012, Best Buy was an authorized dealer.  I am not sure if they are really flip flopping, which is one of the problems.  They say, yep it is ok and you did register ---- but Adobe can't do anything -- buy a subscription.
