Hi, I'm soon to be purchasing a copy of CS6 apps from a 3rd party, and I needed to know if the activation servers are still up for me to use. (Also, no, I don't want you to tell me to buy CC, subscription models are hell for me.)

>it is not used, it is a new copy

If it is new and never used you don't need to worry about a transfer

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10
-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window
-and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions

Also bear in mind the old CS apps will not run on any new Mac or Mac with Catalina or later, and have issues on other recent versions of macOS.

Beware of so-called used / 2nd hand software on auction sites like eBay. Scammers will say & do anything to get your money. Be very cautious. Hopefully, whatever you buy doesn't turn out to be bogus or worse, infected with malware/ransomeware. If the seller isn't willing to go through the license transfer process with you, run away. It's not worth having at any price.

Transfer (selling or giving your software away) https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/transfer-product-license.html
-you may NOT sell or transfer an Education serial number

CS6 may be activated, but only if you own the serial number (see above)
