(and that email is definitly NOT from adobe and almost certainly a scammer, not just a spammer.)

CS6 can still be activated.

We are not privy to how long CS6 will be able to be activated or be able to be used on newly released operating systems.

not beyond the 30 day trial period because you can no longer activate cs2, cs3 nor cs4.  cs5, 5.5 and 6 can't be far behind.
