Howdy!

 

I am running CS4 Master Collection on Win 7 64.

 

Are there any options still available for upgrading to CS6?

 

Thank you!

    #1 Creative Suite is no longer legally sold by any vendor, retailer or country. Adobe stopped selling it in 2017.

     

    #2 There is no upgrade path from Creative Suite to Creative Cloud except to purchase a Creative Cloud subscription.  Some plans are available month-to-month but most are annual (prepaid or paid monthly).


    MODERN OPTIONS:
    Photoshop or Premier Elements 2020 (approx $100, no subscription needed)

    Creative Cloud Photography Plan -- approx $10/month for 12 months. Includes the very latest versions of these great products & services:

    Warning, scammers may contact you privately pretending to be Adobe staff or having legal CS6 for sale. Adobe will never send you a private message asking you to email an account that isn't @adobe.com, or use Skype. Adobe never ask you for their password. These scammers want your Adobe info, credit cards, your money and control of your computer, please take care.

    The CS6 was discontinued long ago.
    You cannot upgrade from now.
    Let's introduce Creative Cloud.

    I understand CS6 is long discontinued. Thank you.

     

    I chatted with Adobe support and was told I could still upgrade to CS6, but that I should ask about it somewhere here in the forums. Doesn't make sense to me, but I thought it was worth a try.

    This "support" sounds like a scammer. They are a big problem here. Did they contact you and ask you email but not email @adobe.com, or to use Skype? The fact is that the real Adobe support won't say that.
