Classic Photoshop CS6 without installing CC??
I want to install my old CS6 Photoshop and use my original serial number for it and NEVER install any Creative Cloud anything. I don't want to sign into my Adobe account to run Photoshop beyond registering my serial number if need be. I want it to install just as it did when I first purchsed it before Creative Cloud was required. I don't mind being limited to the earliest version, I don't need any updates and I don't need ACR at all.
Every previous attempt to install CS6 since the release of CC has automatically installed CC despite my wishes NOT to install it. It's like malware or something. I have never and will never subscribe with anything Adobe. I just want to use CS6 like I did when I first paid for it. I might have to find some old disks to find my installer files I first downloaded on the release of CS6, but I should have them somewhere. Later updates of CS6 downloaded from Adobe install CC without asking and with no way to opt out. Attempts at unistalling CC either leave CS6 unable to start or CC just installs itself again automatically.
Has anyone been able to use their legacy CS6 without CC ever installing or successfully, completely removed CC and retained a functional CS6?
I simply wont tollerate CC on my new PC. I'll use CS5 or finally, once and for all stop using any Photoshop or Adobe anything entirely if I can't get this working.
Adobe, please let me use the software I paid for without running newer additional software I don't want or need. There really should be a Howto about this, but any web links about CS6 I find now just link to pages about subscribing to CC.
Signed, a once loyal and loving Adobe customer. I spent thousands at Adobe between 1994 and 2012 and I'd hope I could get some official support about this.
