CS6 Student Edition - Trying to download and install on new PC

Hi,

I purchased a CS6 student and teachers edition back in 2016.
I now have a new PC and would like to install what I purchased back then on this PC - is this possible? 
This old link Select a Store  sent to me back in 2012 doesn't lead me anywhere when I select Australia, where I currently live.  I used the same link to download CS6 back in 2016.
Everything I try leads me to FAQs / CC suites / Membership and monthly payment options.  What gives? I just want to download my purchase from back then, or has it expired and I have to buy a new version?

I run a PC, using windows 10.  Tried to use my old redemption code on the redemption page and there's an error - 'The code you entered is invalid. Please try again.'

    probably not, if you've already tried to access the installation files from your eductional portal.

    it's only possible to activate cs6 with your edu serial number if you can access the installation files via your education portal.  your best bet is to contact your school.

    the publicly available installation files (listed below) won't work with your edu serial number.

    Downloadable installation files available:

    Download and installation help for Adobe links

    Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages.  They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3.  If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

    Hmm the thing is I purchased it whilst I was at university, and it's been a few years since graduation, and I didn't purchase it through their portal so to speak.

    Use kglad's link to download and see if the installer you download works with your serial number

    If it does... great... if not, what he said about your number needing a special download
