Hello Adobe Community,
I have a problem. I have the Adobe Creative Cloud CS6 DVD installer. But when I install the programs and then restart the PC, I get a blue screen.
I don't know why or what I'm doing wrong. Everything used to work normally but not anymore.
Maybe someone can help me.

Creative Suite is very old software from 2012.  It's way past it's 'replace me' date.

Keeping in mind that it's never been tested on modern systems, which legacy operating system do you have to support it?

 

MODERN OPTIONS:
==============
Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements (3 year license, no subscription needed).

Creative Cloud Photography (Annual & Monthly plan options).

Creative Cloud Bundles & Single App Plans for mobile, web & desktops

what do you mean by activated? Whether the serial number works?

on the problematic computer, did you enter the serial number when prompted and click activate on the current installation and then get a response confirming your installation was activated?
