Hello,

 

I am trying to install and activate CS6 Design Standard for windows.

I have Windows 10, and then I am almost done with the installtion and about to activate the key I keep getting a error message. I have talked to the support and the key should be legit and working.

I have installed from the installtions files provided by adobe support chat.

What am I doing wrong?

It is very foolish to post your serial number on the internet. Within moments it will be stolen and you have no chance ever to use it again. An expensive lesson.

How about posting the exact error message?

There are no legal, legitimate sources for a new installation of CS6 anymore. A second-hand installation would require a license transfer, and I don't know if Adobe is supporting that anymore. The last thing I saw was that they could provide support for resetting the number of activations, but that was it.

 

Be very wary of anyone contacting you privately offering to sell you new media or downloadable installation files for CS4-6. It is quite probably pirated/malware. For the former, Adobe regularly checks the legitimacy of license numbers, so you may find that you have paid for software you can't use. For the latter ... well, we all know the sorts of issues malware can cause.
