Adobe Flash Pro CS6 - ActionScript 2 Requirement

Hi,

So since Adobe made changes on their backend of Friday 3rd of September all our Adobe Flash Pro CS6 users no longer have a permanet license while activing the software using their Adobe CC account.
Instead when you login to activate the software it now says "29days left of Trial" and this is counting down.

This is really bad for us as we still require ActionScript 2, and due to this was provided a legacy installer for Flash Pro CS6 over a year ago and has worked great until now.

We are heavily into development and without this being resolved could have significant impact on our company. Adobe Chat refuse to help/assist because Flash Pro is now Legacy so I hope someone can help here.

Thanks

    We managed to get this working with help from our colleagues in Germany.

     

    1. Installed the Adobe Application Manager  https://www.adobe.com/de/applicationmanagerpatch/thankyouwin.html)
    2. Launched (expired) Flash Pro CS6
    3. At trial expired screen followed steps to license it.
    4. It asked for Sign-In like usually. 

    5. Now it didn't ask for SN, it confirmed activation with login and moved on

     

    I hope this helps others out there as well, might work for other software as well.

    I had this problem too; if you log out (click "Not you?" underneath your username) and then log in again it should relicense it.

    Hey Harvey

    Thanks for your reply, unfortunately we have tried this with CC logged in and out and yet get the same issue.
    Everytime we login it just asks for a Serial Number which we do not have as we have always used it with our Adobe CC subscription.

     

    What was your environment like when you logged out and back in again to relicense it.
    Was Adobe CC running? If so was you logged in or out?

    Are you running CS6 v12.0.0.481 ?

     

    Just want to try replicate your scenario if we can as best as we can.

    Thanks
    Luke

    I had Adobe CC running and logged in, and was running CS6 v12.0.0.481. Also I'm on Windows 10.

    To be clear, it's not CC you want to log out of, but the Flash CS6 app.

    Maybe try (in Flash CS6) going to Help->Deactivate then logging in again?
