My Mac recently crashed and I can't retrieve my old creative suite 6 that I bought in 2012. I have a new MacBook OS High Sierra but how do I go about downloading again from Adobe?

Thanks in Advance

    your os is incompatible with older software like cs6 so you can expect some problems.  to deal with the first problem,  adobe's posted a work-around:  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/install-creative-suite-mac-os-sierra.html

    • 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'.

    And a big thank you to Jim @ Prodesigntools for helping me with these links!

    As suggested by kglad, your machine is really too new for older software, so you'll like expect some issues. Once you are ready to upgrade to CC, you can check out all of the plans and pricing available to you here Good luck!
