Question

I do so loathe having to deal with Adobe invading my computer with its popups.

I have fully owned my CS6 for over 5 years.  Now, an Adobe flash window has popped up when I click on Fireworks.  It says 

"Sign In Required" and apparently has blocked my access to the software.  I hope the programmers who are doing these things have to deal with this kind of intrusive, time-wasting, stress and blood pressure raising process when they need health care or become ill.

 

Do you hear me Adobe?  I think your money-grubbing unethical invasion of my computer decreases human well-being and leads to shorter life spans.  I use to believe in technology as offering the possibility of improved health care but I now view it (along with big pharma and the U.S. fake food industry, technology implemented like you implement yours " as a scourge defined as   "1 : whip especially : one used to inflict pain or punishment. 2 : an instrument of punishment or criticism. 3 : a cause of wide or great affliction."

 

I can't even use my own fully paid for property without having to figure out how to get your invasion of my computer corrected???.  Putting popups on my computer is damn bad enough and should be unlawful but programing so as to lock me out of my own property should mean a mandatory prison sentence and $100,000 fine for those that manufacture, distribute or repair software.

Can someone please advise me how to get back into my software?

    Have you tried this:

     

    1) Sign in to your Adobe account when prompted

    2) Enter your license key

    3) If you see a button 'license this software' click it

    For the record, CS6 is discontinued and unsupported.  Adobe hasn't done ANYTHING to it in more than 8 years. 

    What happens when you hit continue or license this product link?

     

    NOTE:

    Flash Player is ending in 3-1/2 weeks.  Your operating system and/or browsers will no doubt prompt you to uninstall Flash Player if you haven't already.  See links below.
