How do I activate Flash CS6 from Prodesigntools?

[JunkSplash]

Hello,

I have downloaded Adobe Flash CS6 from prodesigntools, and I'm wondering how I can activate it. When I open up the installer im given the options of inputting a serial number (which I don't have) strating my subscription, or installing a trial version. I have no idea what I should do since I don't have a serial number, I obviously don't want to use the trial version, and I'm not sure what starting a subscription would do. I currently have a subscription for Adobe Animate CC if that means anything. If anyone can help em out here, please do!

activation requires a serial number.

your animate subscription allows you to install older versions (of animate), but only back two major versions.  because the current version is 21, you can only install versions 20 and 19 using the cc desktop app.

otoh, you can probably install  the cs6 trail.  restart your computer and the trial will probably be taken-over by the cc desktop app.  ie, it will be part of your subscription, i believe.  it's worth a try.

A lright, I'll give it a shot.

give follow-up after restarting your computer.  (you can check your cc desktop app to see if cs6 is listed as an installed app:

It worked

Well, I've run into one issue, even though it's in my Creative Cloud, it's still the trial version.

Nevermind I was an idiot and forgot to link the progran tomyAdobe ID.
