Is downloading CS6 really impossible?

Question

When I was in highschool I went to a vocation school that gave us all licenses for CS6 Production Premium. Last night my harddrive corrupted, and after salvaging all my data, it wants me to reinstall CS6. I have my key but I don't have the install media because I think my instructor only had the one disk. I don't work in video or photography but it was my favorite hobby and now I don't have the tools that I used to use anymore. I simply can't afford a subscription to CC. I never thought that Adobe would just screw me over like this. I don't know what to do. I'm so sad and frustrated I feel like crying. It was paid for, why shouldn't I be able to use it?

Adobe has removed ALL public download links for serial number programs
-links are ONLY available to someone who purchased a download from Adobe
.
For serial number programs 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
