Hi, I made the AE project in CC 2018, However, I put this project in USB and connect the other computer which version is cs6

but it didn't work. How it can be solved?

    You have to install all versions back to CC (version 12) found in your Creative Cloud app under Manage>Other Versions.

    Then, if you are lucky and have not used any new effects or incompatible ones you open the project file in CC (2018) and do a Save As>Save A Copy as the previous version. Keep doing that until you get back to version CC (v12) and save a copy as a CS6 file.

    That's how AE has always worked. There is no other way around this problem. If you have used effects that have been updated or were not in previous versions your project will fall apart and may need to be redone. If the project is relatively simple it might be easier to just install CS6 from the CC app and redo the project from scratch. You might be able to just switch back and forth between apps and copy, not copy and paste, but duplicate the settings. CS6 is an awfully long way to go back.
