Deactivate Devises for my CS6 Master Collection

Trying to install my CS6 Master Collection on my new PC, I am being promoted to deactivate older devises, to activate it. On the Adobe Active Devises page, none are listed so I can’t deactivate old devises. Support can’t help ans suggested I come here.

 

How do I remove these old devises?

the devices page doesn’t show legacy apps like cs6.  it’s for cc subscription devices.

 

to deactivate cs6 you must use a computer that has an active subscription and that meets adobe’s security requirements, https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install-discussions/activation-limit-reached-for-non-subscription-adobe-desktop-applications/td-p/14804413?linkId=100000376554410

also, this should be moved to the download & install forum.
