Adobe products without internet?

Question

I am a legacy user. I have used Abode for over 30 years. My old computer (2008) needs updating. I need to update my CS6 software too.  My problem is two fold... I live in a rural area with little to no internet. I often drive to public internet access points.  Also, I am being deployed for excess of six months with military. I will not have internet.  How can I continue to use my Adobe illustrator and photoshop in these conditions given my CS6 is legacy and can not be moved to a newer laptop.

If that's an old perpetual CS6 license, it doesn't need activation checks. You don't need internet.

If you installed it through the Creative Cloud when that was introduced in 2013, then yes, you need to connect at intervals. But once every 30 days is enough to keep the license happy. It will continue to work for 99 days offline if you're signed up for a yearly subscription, but with nag screens and presumably constant reminders.
