I have recently updated my mid-2012 MacBook Pro to macOS Catalina without knowing that it would lock me out of the CS6 Creative Suite Master Collection programs. I want to revert back to Mojave, but I don't want to lose access to the programs in the process. I still have the original discs and serial number that the collection came with, so would I be able to reinstall the whole thing after having my computer wiped? Please explain the entire process.

    All you do is internet recovery (option-command-r and starting up Mac), and return to the Shipping level version OS.
    After, install CS6.

     

    CS6 is guaranteed to run on OS up to 10.9 version.
    The operation is not guaranteed after the 10.10 version.
    Since it became 10.15 version and 32-bit operation disappeared, all versions below CC 2018 can not be started.
