Hi, I download PS CS6 approximately one month ago, the last 4 digits are 7253, I posted on april 14 under "downloading my own Photoshop", meaning from my order,  I should have posted I was successful. That post was related to an issue with Sierra which was solved.

Now I picked up my Yosemite from repair where I had PSCS 6 since 2012. The serial number shows invalid.

Here I transcribe an email from Customer Care from about 4 years ago, hoping to give you a reference. I lost the email so I can't post it but I printed it, I can scan it if you wish.

Never post private information on a public forum... including your actual email address or phone number

Scammers try to steal serial numbers and other private information by posing as Adobe employees... Never give your private information to someone who contacts you via PM (Private Message) or email until you are sure that person is an Adobe employee (see next)

When an employee asks for information (identified by a STAFF badge where my ACP badge shows) hover your mouse over their name and then click the Message option in the popup window to send a private email

Adobe does not use Skype... if someone asks you to talk to them via Skype to "help" you, immediately report their Adobe ID in https://forums.adobe.com/community/forumhelp/forum_comments/content so the person may be banned from the forums

This is a product user-to-user forum.  We cannot help you with serial numbers.

  1. Contact Adobe Customer Care
  2. Click the chat bot icon and type Agent.
  3. Wait for a human to join the session.
