Adobe no longer supports TLS 1.0 and 1.1. Please check your system that you're enabled the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 protocol. 

For more infos take a look here:

If you're using Win 7 please upgrade your OS and install the MS Easy Fix.   

Update to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as default secure protocols in WinHTTP in Windows (microsoft.com) 

 

Also upgrade your browsers to enable TLS 1.2 connections.

BTW: You know, that you're using an outdated operationg system. There are no more patches and updated for secutiry leaks, So if you connect your PC to the internet there's a huge risk to get attacked and infected  You should update to a modern operating system like Windows 10/11 as soon as possible.

Neither Microsoft nor Adobe support Windows 7, so its a crapshoot at this point. Follow the directions above and you should be able to connect but I advise getting a newer PC with Windows 10 or 11.

adobe connection errors are common and are not related to whether you're connected to the internet.  they're related to connecting to adobe's secure servers.

 

if you have a non-current os, your default browser must support tls 1.2, https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/eol-tls-support.html

 

to test your default browser's tls you can use , https://clienttest.ssllabs.com:8443/ssltest/viewMyClient.html

 

otherwise, confirm that you can connect to the secure adobe servers by reading, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html

 

do you see both logos after clicking "link"?

 

if you can and still see a connection error try these steps, https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/common-network-connectivity-issues.html

 

if those all fail, white list the adobe network endpoints, https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/network-endpoints.html

 

or, if you’re trying to activate a perpetual license, you can try offline activation by disconnecting your computer from the internet, starting activation and using https://aoes-stage.licensingstack.com/aoes/aoes/v1/imsauthstatus

Hi Axel

You're 100% correct

I just worked it out for myself after finding the page which you provided the link for

It is a transport layer issue problem TLS 1.2 to be specific

Unsure what started the problem - perhaps some other update disabled it

All I needed was to run EasyFix51044 and instantly the message went away and I was able to login and activate CS6

The direct link to download EASYFIX51044 is

https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/6/5/0658B1A7-6D2E-474F-BC2C-D69E5B9E9A68/MicrosoftEasyFix5...

 

Thanks everyone for your replies

when you reinstalled win 7, you reset your browser to an un-updated win  7 version that didn't support tls 1.2  after updating win  7 to its latest, your browser would have gained tls 1.2 support.

 

anyway, good to hear you got cs 6 activated.
