Hello, I've never posted in this forum before so I am not quite sure how this works but here it goes.  I am wondering if it is possible to transfer Adobe Photoshop CS6 version 13.0 x64 (from 2012) from a macbook air OS X Yosemite to a macbook pro OS Mojave. I have this version of photoshop as a part of creative suite on my mac, and so I believe I will have to transfer all the other programs in the suite as well. In addition, I have this suite on two computers already, and so I need to actually transfer the program off of the macbook air to not exeed this limit. Thank you in advance for your help. (Also, I am not very tech savy, so clear simply instructions would be aprrecieted).

Also with Mojave you cannot run the installer directly.

See https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/install-creative-suite-mac-os-sierra.html

and never upgrade to Catalina.

I upgraded my laptop to Catalina but run CS6 off a bootable Ulta Fit USB flash drive running High Sierra. Works great!

    Go to the Help menu > Deactivate on the old machine. This releases the activation.

     

    Then install on the new machine. If you don't have a DVD drive, you need to buy an external USB drive. They're cheap these days.

    Transfering Adobe programs by migrating won't work properly.

    You need to install Adobe programs from a disc or downloaded installation file.

     

    CS6 is no longer part of CC and in not available as a download with only a CC subscription.

    If you did not purchase CS6, you will not be able to get it out of trial mode without a serial number.

    Hello Peru Bob

     Thank for the reply. Luckily, I do have the disc and serial number for the creative suite. However, I do not know what steps to take to transfer the program over to my newer computer using those items. Also what do you mean by the term "mirgrating". Thank you.
