Hello! I just wanted to know if there is any way to download the Creative Suite 6 applications such as Flash Pro, Photoshop, etc. I don't have the money to pay for the current ones, and I really want to get back into animation. I just want some way to get Adobe Flash. I know it doesn't have all the new features, but It's at least something to animate with. The other software I used didn't even compete. Could I please get a way to get the old apps?

I am mentioning this in case you missed it, because it is very important. At the end of 2020 Flash Player reaches end-of-life and will be blocked for almost all users. Almost all Flash-based web sites and apps will stop working. More info from Adobe https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html

>download the Creative Suite 6

 

NOTE - Adobe has removed ALL public download links for installs and updates
-links are ONLY available to someone who purchased a download from Adobe
-CS6 (and earlier) are no longer sold or supported by Adobe, and no authorized
-vendor has copies to sell... not by disc, and not by download of an installer
.
The Adobe employee who advises volunteer helpers (I am one) said this on 12-18-2019
"Adobe employees will no longer be engaging with Creative Suite customers to provide support via chat, phone, or social media"
That means that you will not be given a download link by contacting customer support
.
For CS6 back to CS4 you may download ONLY if you bought direct from Adobe via download
-Log-in to your account and click this link https://account.adobe.com/products
--click Order history on the left and then the link to your order that will show on the right
--and finally click the link "Downloads and serial numbers" that will appear
---as always, write the serial number in a text file AND copy that text file and the
---download file(s) to an external drive (or two) to be sure you have what you need
-if you did not buy direct from Adobe via download you must find your original install
-if you have an Education or volume license you MUST use your original media
--the link for an Education or volume license download is not available at all
-if you bought a disc and don't have a drive you will need to buy an external USB drive
-if you bought and lost a disc Adobe does not provide a replacement via download
-if you bought a download from a 3rd party vendor you will need to contact that vendor
.
When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to at least one external device
-a usb flash drive or hard drive, or write to a DVD
-plus a text file containing your serial number

Hi,

Since Creative Suite is quite old, Adobe no longer supports it or gives access to download it anymore. 

You're mentioning Flash, which will no longer be supported in browsers from the end of this year (2020).

If you're interestd in animation, I'd suggest you look into HTML5 tools. There are a few free tools available like:


Are you on Windows or Mac? If you give more detail to what you'd liek to create, I can give some other options.
