Can I use my original CS6 disks to install a copy on a second mac running mojave? If so, can I avoid deactivating CS6 on my first mac?

Adobe license has always allowed 2 activations

 

If the program doesn't want to install, read this... may not be needed for your operating system

Apple did not maintain backward compatibility, so try this to install old programs

I tried it both ways: After typing in my serial number a black window pops up "Please connect to the internet" and two buttons saying "connect later" and "try again". I am definetly connect to the internet.  Tried multiple hits of "try again", same result. I didn't want to hit "connect later" as that seems to start a 7-day window to verify my serial number. The number is correct and is what I used on the first mac for the same install. What to do?
