Selective subscription required

I have Creative Cloud loaded on my work computer at work and work computer at home. I have Fireworks CS6 on both (because it is simpler to use, IMO, than PS) but, more importantly to me, I have Dreamweaver CS6 loaded. I DO NOT want to have to use the new version of DW because (at least the last time I looked) it does not have code hinting, among other things. Adobe wants to force you to use their new coding platform and I don't want to go there. Neither of them will load now because it says my license has expired. All the other apps load okay so I suspect it is because they are CS6.

 

Am I correct? Is there anything I can do to keep my old DW?

It was the second one. I did as you wrote and it said the CC is now registered for use at IU (it already was) and came back to CC and the same message came up again. License expired.


Thanks for your help. I'm afraid I've had you chasing something that, as it turns out, may not be important. DW CC has apparently changed a great deal since I last looked at it. I installed it and it looks like it may work okay with CF coding. I'm going to go that route for now. Thanks again.

creative cloud (once installed) takes over you perpetual licenses and converts them to subscriptions.  but if your subscription is current you should be able to continue using your cs6 programs.

 

on the license expired message is there an option to "subscribe" or "renew" or "sign in" etc?  if so, select that.

Nothing like that shows. I'm attaching an image when I try to access Fireworks. (I have DW open on the office computer and I don't want to close it and try opening it again. This just started a couple of days ago.

I've looked at Account Details and lean more but no joy there.
