Why can't you continue to support DW CS6; I can't afford (in addition to my monthly $10 PS fee), the $25 monthly fee for the current online version of DW, As a result, I have not dared upgrade my OS since Mojave10.14.6. Am I correct that if I did update my OS my paid version of DW CS6 would not work.  I am nearly 80 and a photographer who has have been with Adobe PS since it started,  but my Social Security check does not even cover my studio apartment rent. My website has been online since early 1997 [possible spam link removed by moderator.]

Reading your story there does not seem a good reason for you to upgrade anything. Mojave OS is fine, probably for another couple of years, and IF you have DWCS6 running on it and can edit your website, what is the reason for you to upgrade to a newer version of Dreamweaver?

 

The only reason for you to upgrade is if you cannot do something that you desperately want to do with an older version of a program or are in a position financially to do so. Updating your OS just because Apple bring one out annually, which could render your applications unusable and in your case probably will, seems to be more trouble than its worth.

 

You're only 1 operating system behind - BigSur is not worth the paper its wriiten on at the moment until producers get their products to be compatible and stable with it, which is likely to be some time yet. They have only just finished battling with Catalina.

Assuming you can work with code, below are 2 free, modern code editors you could use:

-- Adobe Brackets (open source) - http://brackets.io/
-- Visual Studio Code (open source) - https://code.visualstudio.com/

 

CODE RESOURCES:

DO NOT UPGRADE! 

  • Creative Suite is discontinued & unsupported. 
  • CS6 is 32-bit software from 9 years ago.
  • CS6 will NEVER install or run on Catalina or Big Sur. 
  • In theory, you can keep using CS6 forever if you NEVER UPGRADE your Mac.
