Adobe CS6 Software auf MacBook Pro mit M2 Chip

[Robert Mandl-Csorba]

Hallo zusammen,

kann mir jemand sagen, ob meine originalen Adobe CS6 Master Collection Programme – obwohl mittlerweile "veraltet" – auf einem neuen Apple MacBook Pro (2022) mit M2 Chip laufen werden? Gekauft wurde die CS6 damals für einen MBPro (Mid 2012) mit Intel Chip und ich würde sie ungeändert (kein CC Abo) weiternutzen.

Ich wäre über eine hilfreiche und so verbindlich wie mögliche Antwort sehr dankbar 🙂
Viele Grüße, Robert

Hello kglad,

thanks for your answer, but since you've merely copy-pasted what's printed on my original Adobe CS6 CD booklets, it's unfortunately not really helpful. The CS6 apps run to this day on my 2012 MBPro with OS v.10.14.6 (Mojave) – so that info you particularly hint on is not relevant (quote "Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7"). Therefore same could apply to the "Intel" specs, since there had been no M2 chips back then. That's why I'd like to know, if someone is actually using a Mac OS with M2 chip and the old Adobe apps as mentioned (CS6 or the like).

Regards, Robert

running on 10.14.6 is not the same as installing on 10.14.6.  now, it may (or may not) install on 10.14.6; i don't know.  (buy i seriously doubt it will install and run on os 11+.)

i do know you'll need to differentiate the two issues of running and installing on whatever os you plan to use for installing and for running.

I have read about an M1 processor, so you must have a computer that is even newer

CS6 will not run on the M1... even the newer programs had initial problems

Nein! Absolut nein! 

Das Problem hier ist Apple. Apple tauschte den Prozessor von Intel zu Apple M1. Zusätzlich ist es bei Apple üblich, mit neueren Betriebssystemen alten Balast auf zu geben, sprich ältere Programme laufen dann nicht mehr. Es gibt zwar Emulatoren, die angeblich Windows laufen würden, aber dafür müsstest Du eine CS6 Windows Lizens haben.

Der Support zu CS6 wurde aber vor Jahren eingestellt. Um Adobe Programme laufen zu lassen, benötigst Du also unbedingt ein Creative Cloud Abo.

M1 and later can emulate 64 bit Intel, but

catalina and later block all 32 bit apps; the installers for CS6 are 32 bit

Catalina and later block installing all old software, even if it is 64 bit. 
So, no for sure. New Mac, new apps. Apple don't want to define their new hardware with old apps, and their business model is to force you to upgrade. It's all part of the Joy of Mac.

Thanks everyone for your answers. Eventhough it's no good news, what you're saying 😉
