your old computer had to be updated to meet adobe's security requirements when you deactivated cs6 so that deactivation would be communicated ti adobe's deactivation servers.

 

at this point you'd have to use another computer with an activated cs6.

I had press deactivated cs6 in old computer and cannot use anymore and trying to install to new computer. During the installation, request me login adobe account, after that key in the serial no.  It say "This serial number you entered has been revoked. This product cannot be licensed. Please contact customer support." I press the customer support, it request me to to buy new subcription. I try to go to my adobe account and put the serial no.  it show. "This serial number is already in use".

The serial has been revoked and already in use are 2 completely different errors. Revoked means it was likely a copy that was not purchased not directly through Adobe and was potentially purchased through a reseller that may have improperly sold licenses. The serial number is already in use has to do with activations. You would not get both responses on the same license number.
