Does version 15.1.1 available for After Effects CS6

[thewill73]

I bought a product from Envato and it says it works with adobe after effects cs6, but I keep getting this error message.

after effects error: the file you are attempting to open was created with after effects version 15.1.1 and cannot be opened with this version

and I am not able to unzip the product with Adobe extension manager cs6 for it says

Failed to install the creative suite extension. Please make sure the manifest.xml of this extension is valid and the extension manager recognizes at least one product which the extension supports. The extension will not be installed.

Can someone help me answer the question of am I able to upgrade cs6 to version 15.1.1?

Thank you

Hi Jennifer,

After Effects CS6 was version 11.X and was released in 2012, 15.X is After Effects CC 2018 version and the only available version for it is 15.1.2 in Creative cloud and now After Effects version 2019 which is 16.X or 16.0.1 is the newest version. The file that you have must be created in 15.X version and that is why you are unable to open it in 11.X. You can purchase a CC subscription which will give you access to these versions. The backward compatibility of the project is incompatible but you can open 15.X files in 16.X.

Alternatively you can install Trial of Creative Cloud and download 15.X version which gives you option to save the file in one version back.
